Shakira recently opened up about a frightening experience she had while filming the music video for “Copa Vacía.”
Shakira faced a scary incident while shooting the official music video for her latest hit “Copa Vacía” with Manuel Turizo. Despite the success of her collaboration with Bizarrap in 2023, the Colombian singer had to overcome a major obstacle during the filming of the video. She suffered an accident that could have been severe, but thankfully, she came out unscathed. Shakira’s dedication to her craft and determination shone through as she continued with the project despite the setback. Her new song has already garnered immense popularity amongst fans and critics alike.
During the filming of the music video “Copa Vacía,” Shakira wore a mermaid tail. In a recent interview, the Colombian singer revealed that the set had been flooded due to a broken fish tank, and she had to be rescued by the production team. Unfortunately for Shakira, her mermaid tail prevented her from escaping on her own, so she had to be lifted out with a crane. Despite the scary incident, Shakira reassured fans that it was just a minor mishap and that she’s still here to tell the tale.
Moreover, he mentioned that Turizo had already warned him about the risk of being involved in that situation. “Manuel had warned me that the fish tank was going to break. I told him it was impossible because we had bulletproof safety standards, but he was right. What he predicted came true,” he concluded.
Undoubtedly, it was a very risky situation for the singer. However, thankfully, it only became an anecdote and did not escalate into something more serious. Currently, the music video “Copa Vacía” by Shakira and Manuel Turizo is becoming a hit, garnering over 44 million views on YouTube. Although it is performing well on Google’s platform, it did not make it to the Top Global 50 on Spotify, unlike the Bizarrap session which is currently in the top 30, and “TQG” with Karol G at number 38.
