Shakira ended her performance abruptly after noticing someone seemingly recording up her skirt, sending a clear message that such behavior is unacceptable.
Celebrated Colombian singer Shakira experienced a jarring incident at LIV Miami nightclub over the weekend while celebrating the upcoming release of her single, "Soltera." As she danced on stage to the unreleased hit, Shakira seemingly spotted an individual recording up her skirt.
Upon noticing the potential violation, Shakira immediately stopped dancing and firmly grabbed at the hem of her skirt. She then directed her attention to the suspected individual in the crowd, wagging her fingers in a clear sign of disapproval.

Shakira made direct eye contact with the person she believed was recording, sending a powerful "I see you" message. After a brief pause, she motioned that she was done and walked off the stage.
In a statement to Page Six, LIV Nightclub refuted the notion that Shakira was upset with an individual recording her. Instead, the nightclub claimed that she was trying to halt her own photo and video team from capturing her while she shared an intimate moment with fans.
