Billboard has reached out to Shakira's team for additional comment.
That show was the first of Shakira's back-to-back concerts at MetLife — which has a capacity of 50,000 — where Ozuna appeared the special guest. She returned to MetLife for a second show on Friday (May 16) with guests Pitbull, Wyclef Jean and Rauw Alejandro.
After making history in Latin America by breaking box office records in March, Shakira began a North American tour last week that also includes upcoming stops in Chicago, Boston, Miami; Los Angeles and other cities, before concluding in San Francisco on June 30. She will then return to Latin America for shows in Mexico and Peru.
