Shakira proved she is unstoppable this week after recovering from a scary fall during her historic Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour stop in El Salvador.
The "Hips Don't Lie" superstar was performing her classic hit "Si Te Vas" at the Jorge "Mágico" González Stadium when she appeared to twist her ankle, tumbling to the stage floor and landing hard on her elbow. While fan footage of the incident immediately circulated on social media, sparking waves of concern, the singer's response has turned a frightening moment into a viral masterclass in resilience.

"Don't worry, I'm made of rubber," she shared in a lighthearted update, adding in Spanish that "nobody escapes falls".
