Shakira is an embodiment of a fierce and strong woman who can captivate an entire audience with her performance. Her talent has taken her from selling out shows in Paris to flaunting her stunning physique in a sheer pair of leggings and tiger print bodysuit. Born in Barranquilla, Colombia, she began her career at the age of 13. She eventually broke into the Spanish music industry with her debut album Magia and follow-up Peligro after taking a brief hiatus. In 2001, she successfully penetrated the English-language market with her fifth album, Laundry Service, featuring her timeless hit “Whenever, Wherever.” Shakira continued to make waves with her English albums including Oral Fixation, Wolf, and Shakira, all of which topped the Billboard chart. Other notable hits include “Hips Don’t Lie” and her 2007 collaboration with Beyonce, “Beautiful Liar.” The talented artist also served as a judge on The Voice for two seasons. Shakira has earned herself three Grammy Awards, 13 Latin Grammy’s, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Check out this photo gallery of the iconic Latina superstar.
