Shakira is donating proceeds from her concert in San Antonio, Texas to help victims of the flash floods which have devastated the state.

The pop star, 48, performed at the city’s Alamodome venue on Saturday night as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour and she promised to give a portion of the profits to charity helping those impacted by the disaster, which has killed at least 2 people.

In a post on X, Shakira wrote: “Dear San Antonio, tonight we are with those affected by the flood in recent days. “We are donating a portion of tonight’s show proceeds to Catholic Charities of San Antonio, who are providing disaster relief services.”

Shakira urged fans who would like to join in donating to click on the link below. “Your help is important and appreciated!” she added.

Shakira included a link to a fundraising drive created by the charity. The organisation, which aims to “deliver food, water, clothing, emergency supplies, and other support including shelter, blankets, clothing, and hygiene kits to areas impacted by catastrophic flooding.”

The floods devastated Kerr County on Friday (04.07.25) after heavy rainfall caused the banks of the Guadalupe River to burst.

The death toll has risen to 82 and 14 people are still listed as missing, including two young girls who were attending a Christian summer camp.

US President Donald Trump addressed the disaster in a post on his X social platform, writing:
“First Lady Melania and I are praying for all of the lives impacted by this horrific tragedy in Texas.”
