Shakira abruptly left the stage in the middle of her performance this weekend, after a fan apparently refused to stop filming up her dress.

Video footage showed the famous singer dancing and belting out the lyrics to her new single “Soltera,” when she seemed to notice a fan filming right up her skirt. She was seen gesturing with her hand and using facial expressions to let the person know they had been busted and she wanted them to stop. She pointed at her eyes as if to say she was watching them, but that proved to be unsuccessful. When the fan apparently refused to stop, Shakira called it and walked off the stage.

Shakira was all smiles when she began performing.

She was wearing a short brown-gold dress that fit slightly loosely at the bottom, and she wore her hair down. She danced and gave fans a look at her signature dance moves as she moved her hips to the beat of the music.

The video showed the star becoming visibly frustrated when she appeared to notice the fan attempting to film the upskirt video. She pointed several times and waved the index finger of both hands to suggest that this situation had to come to a stop.

Shakira grabbed at the front and back of her skirt to block the view, and attempted to thwart their apparent efforts of shooting right up her skirt.

The music kept playing and the star attempted to move forward with her performance. She kept singing and dancing for a few frames, before she decided she simply couldn’t do it anymore.

She tugged at the hem of the skirt and threw another frustrated stare and gesture at the person, then turned around and walked right off-stage. (RELATED: Shakira Surprises Fans With Impromptu Performance At Times Square)

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
