Several social media users are accusing Shakira of copying visuals from Beyoncé's iconic Renaissance tour.
Shakira recently kicked off her "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" world tour at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro. Photos from Shakira's first tour stop sparked conversation online about the alleged similarities between the singer's stage setup and the one from Bey's 2023 Renaissance World Tour.
Social media users pointed out that Shakira's massive screen displaying her image, name, and tour name looked nearly identical to Bey's depiction of "RENAISSANCE" in silver letters on her tour stage.
Shakira also used a metallic wolf during her performance, which fans alleged was a copy of Beyoncé's silver horse, a symbolic image of her Renaissance tour. Fans also accused Shakira and her dancers, who wore silver outfits, of plagiarizing Bey's chrome aesthetic.
Several social media users called out Shakira for allegedly using Bey for more than just inspiration.
"Beyoncé team needs to sue Shakira at this point.. she wasn’t taking notes, she’s plagiarizing 😆🤣," one X user tweeted.
"The Shakira tour copy/paste is wild. I’m trying not to think too much of it but it’s crazy how the team just redid Beyoncé’s entire process for this," another person wrote.
