The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer, 48, also used a massive metallic wolf on stage, much like the giant silver horse that the “Cuff It” songstress used for her tour.
Additionally, fans noticed how Shakira and her dancers were dressed in silver attire, which Beyoncé, 43, her dancers and her fans wore throughout the tour.
“Shakira said they were studying Beyoncé but they actually ripped everything that wasn’t nailed to the floor omg,” tweeted one user on X.
“Beyoncé team needs to sue Shakira at this point.. she wasn’t taking notes, she’s plagiarizing,” added another.
“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,” wrote a third person.
“At this point, I’m gonna have to go see Shakira on tour since Beyoncé won’t release the ‘Renaissance’ film,” joked a fourth fan.

Several people defended Shakira’s tour look, saying she was only “inspired” by Beyoncé and not copying her.
“BeyHive, yall are doing way tooooo much about this Shakira stuff. … But, We have fallen into a pattern of always dunking on people who always show they’re inspired by her. It’s unnecessary!” wrote one user on X.
“You guys can stop dragging Shakira now. It’s been 2 days… She was clearly inspired as she said she took notes when she attended the ‘Renaissance’ Tour. Imitation is also a form of art and she was clearly impressed by the ‘Renaissance’ Tour and that’s a compliment to Beyoncé,” added another.
Page Six has reached out to Shakira’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
