A woman from Kazakhstan who attended Colombian singer Shakira's concert in Bishkek caught the sunglasses the artist threw into the audience, the website infohub.kz reports.
The Kazakh woman, posting under the handle nazifat_04, shared an Instagram reels video in which she said she caught Shakira's sunglasses at the Bishkek concert. The singer threw the glasses into the crowd during her performance. "The probability that Shakira will give me her sunglasses is vanishingly small, but it is never zero," she wrote.
In a follow-up video, the Kazakh woman filmed a review of the singer's sunglasses. "We're doing a review of the legendary sunglasses Shakira wore, which I caught at the concert. It's simply beyond words... the emotions.... But overall... they're not really that expensive, I think. What do you think, shall we open an auction for them? Starting bid — $20,000," she wrote.
In the comments, users noted that Shakira often throws her sunglasses into the audience, giving them as a gift to someone in the crowd. "These are Versace glasses. She's generous, she always gives her glasses away at concerts, and you didn't appreciate her gift," one comment read. Many users also urged the Kazakh woman not to sell the star's sunglasses. "I wouldn't sell them. They're a keepsake from Shakira herself, and even if they're not expensive, they look very stylish. Keep them," and "I'd keep them as a memento for life!" commenters wrote.
The woman later posted a reels video saying she had no intention of selling the sunglasses and urging everyone to take the situation with humor.
