💨 Abstract

Shakira canceled her planned appearance at the World Pride 2025 welcome concert in Washington D.C. due to equipment issues stemming from a previous concert in Boston. The Capital Pride Alliance announced the cancellation and is now working on relocating and reorganizing the opening ceremony. The event faces additional challenges due to concerns over U.S. President Donald Trump's policies, which have led some international attendees to reconsider their plans.
