Shakira begins her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” world tour with a banging concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Although the tour premiere was expected to be extremely impressive, as the Colombian star is known for her dynamic stage presence and countless successes, some fans seemed unhappy.
Comments that appeared on social media claimed that the audiovisual choices that Shakira made for her concert seemed particularly familiar to her fans. In particular, many compared the aesthetic of the spectacle to that of Beyonce during her Renaissance world tour. The similarities in the stage, lighting and choreography, in their opinion, referred to the elements that the American artist had used.
“Shakira is just warming up Beyonce’s nachos,” someone commented on Twitter, suggesting how strongly she was influenced by Beyonce’s concert. Another added: “I think Shakira is implying that she is the Beyonce of Latin music. Shakira, however, has not officially commented on the allegations as her tour continues with stops in various cities around the world.
