Shakira recently walked off stage at a Miami nightclub after spotting a fan trying to film up her dress while she performed. The 47-year-old singer was dancing to her upcoming single “Soltera” when she noticed one fan recording inappropriately from a low angle. After gesturing for the person to film her face instead, the fan continued to aim their camera up her dress, prompting Shakira to storm off stage and head to the VIP section.
The incident, which was caught on video by other fans, quickly sparked outrage online, with many condemning the inappropriate behavior. Fans expressed their support for Shakira on social media, emphasizing the need for respect and privacy, both on and off stage. Comments flooded in criticizing the actions of the individual and calling for better treatment of public figures.

Voyeurism laws in Florida make filming up someone’s dress illegal, and offenders can face serious penalties. Shakira’s response drew praise for how she handled the situation, ensuring her dignity remained intact while walking off stage.
Shakira, who surprised fans earlier this year at Coachella, has not yet made a public statement regarding the incident. Fans and advocates continue to stress the importance of creating safe environments for artists.
