Shakira donates San Antonio concert earnings to Texas flood relief
Shakira has stepped up to support Texas flood victims, pledging a portion of her San Antonio concert proceeds to Catholic Charities of San Antonio. The region was devastated by flash floods over the holiday weekend, leaving more than 75 people dead and several missing, according to Reuters. The Colombian pop star arrived in San Antonio on July 5 for her Las Mujeres No Lloran tour stop at the Alamodome, a rescheduled show following earlier stage issues. Upon landing, she shared a heartfelt message on social media, expressing sorrow over the tragedy: 'I just landed in San Antonio, and I'm devastated after hearing the news of the floods, the deaths, and the young girls that are still missing.' Just before taking the stage, the 48-year-old artist posted again, announcing her donation and directing fans to a link where they could contribute to relief efforts. 'Dear San Antonio, our hearts and prayers are with those affected by the flood in Central Texas,' she wrote. 'We are donating a portion of tonight's show proceeds to Catholic Charities of San Antonio.' During the show, Shakira dedicated her performance to the victims, saying, 'I want to dedicate this concert to those no longer with us.' A wave of silence swept the crowd as she urged them to hold their loved ones closer and emphasised unity in times of sorrow. Shakira's swift response to local tragedy highlights her commitment to using her platform for more than entertainment, offering real-time help to those in need.

‘People fainting, but Shakira doesn't care': Fans mad after San Antonio show postponed last minute
Shakira fans were left furious after her Friday night concert at the Alamodome in San Antonio was postponed at the last minute due to reported structural issues. Before the postponement was announced, many concertgoers shared images and videos of long lines outside the stadium under blistering heat. Fans reported being held outside for hours without being allowed to enter. 'One hour in line with temperatures over 32 Celsius (90 Fahrenheit), people fainting and @Alamodome and @shakira doesn't care at all about the fans,' one attendee tweeted. Another added, 'Worst concert experience ever #shakira. So this crowd has been waiting over an hour and a half. But the #alamodome refuses to open the gates. People are passing out. Apparently all over stage issues.' A third person wrote, "Alamodome your email for the Shakira concert said doors open at 5:30, instead you have hundreds of people overheating for 30 minutes and counting." Live Nation later confirmed the postponement, stating, 'Unfortunately, Shakira's performance tonight has been postponed due to structural issues. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date once announced. More information will be emailed to ticketholders directly when available. We apologize for the inconvenience.' After the official announcement, fans expressed frustration online, blaming both Shakira's team and the venue for the mismanagement. One person vented, 'How can you cancel on San Antonio at the last minute???? 40,000 people turned away?' Another wrote, 'There is some bigger problem happening in @shakira team. How come in few cities she cancels concert on the day of its happening and it's related to structural issues? Why is her team not checking everything on time if that's the problem?" Another fan tweeted, 'This is just a bad joke at this point. When is @Shakira going to fire her entire team and work with people that are at her level?'
