Shakira, the renowned Colombian singer, delighted her fans with the release of the official music video for “Copa Vacia,” a collaboration with fellow countryman Manuel Turizo. However, behind the scenes, there was a heart-stopping moment as the filming encountered a dangerous accident that could have ended in disaster.
During an interview with Primer Impacto, Shakira, who had achieved tremendous success with other songs in 2023, recounted the nerve-wracking incident that occurred a few weeks ago. The long shoot took an unexpected turn when the fish tank on the set broke, leading to flooding. Struggling to escape due to her mermaid tail, Shakira found herself trapped until a crane came to her rescue, saving her from the perilous situation.
Remarkably, Shakira praised Turizo, who had previously warned her about the potential danger associated with the fish tank. Despite her initial skepticism, Turizo’s prediction came true, highlighting the need to be cautious even with stringent security measures in place.
Explaining her choice of collaboration with Manuel Turizo, Shakira emphasized the quality and depth of his voice, which perfectly complemented the desired tone for the song. Additionally, she expressed pride in sharing this musical endeavor with someone from her homeland, hailing from the same region of the Colombian Caribbean.
The music video for “Copa Vacia” premiered on YouTube almost three weeks ago, garnering astounding support from fans worldwide. With over 46 million views, 1.2 million likes, and close to 50 thousand comments, the collaboration’s success is undeniable, and Shakira’s story of her near-miss incident adds an intriguing twist to the song’s behind-the-scenes journey.
It’s fortunate that Shakira didn’t suffer any serious harm during the filming of the “Copa Vacia” music video, despite the dangerous accident she experienced.
