At one point, however, she appears to notice someone attempting to film up her dress.
Her demeanor changes.
Shakira pulls down and adjusts the bottom of her dress, then gestures toward the person as if making it clear that she has noticed what is happening.

She briefly continues dancing before signaling that she is finished and walking away from the stage.
The entire moment lasts only seconds.
But once footage reached social media, it quickly attracted attention.

Fans Defended Her Decision to Leave
Much of the online reaction centered on the same basic point: performing publicly doesn’t eliminate someone’s right to personal boundaries.
Shakira did not publicly provide a detailed account of what happened, and her representatives declined to comment at the time.
That makes it important not to claim more than the available footage shows.
Movies
What viewers could see was a performer apparently noticing inappropriate filming, reacting to it, and deciding to leave.
For many fans, that was enough.
The incident became another example of the challenges performers face in an era when virtually everyone in a crowd carries a camera.
