Thursday's show, part of Shakira's The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women No Longer Cry) tour, was the opener of the 2025 Fenway Concert Series.

NBC10 Boston is monitoring for statements from Shakira, Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn.

A handful of fans were outside Fenway shortly after the official announcement that the shows were canceled was made.

"Right when we walked up to here, we asked if this was the line and they were like, 'It's canceled,'" one fan said.

Another said, "This was like a dream come true for me, to do this, so this was very upsetting."
