On May 15, 2025, Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour hit East Rutherford, New Jersey at the MetLife Stadium. At the concerts, one of the guests in the audience was from out of state and was infected with measles. Now, the New Jersey Department Of Health (NJDOH) has stated an issue that the other guests who attended the concert may also be affected and have been exposed to measles. May 20, 2025, the NJDOH released a statement to the public. “Be aware of the symptoms of this highly contagious virus and to ensure they are up to date with measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) shots,” said the statement by the NJDOH.

Some of the symptoms of measles include a high fever, cough, runny nose, watery red eyes and a rash that usually appears between three and five days after the symptoms begin. However, the symptoms may not appear right away, they can develop as late as June 6. Measles is an airborne disease, so simply coughing is enough to spread the disease to others. Measles could be serious for small children, however, the disease can be prevented with a shot. According to an article by Stereogum, last week, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed measles vaccine was never fully or safely tested, which was a false claim. Another incident that is similar happened back in October when fans of the Connecticut jam band Goose were warned about bat exposure at the Chicago show.
