Despite ending her ‘Sale El Sol Tour’ in Puerto Rico last month, things have been a little quiet on the promotional side for global songbird Shakira.
However, all that changed yesterday when she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame for her contributions to Pop music the world over since her international debut in 2001.

Cute!
Why doesnt Beyonce have a star yet?
Or does she? i thought it was just DC…
anyways, Great shakira!
She is just AMAZING, I love her, congratulations!!!!
beyonce copied shakira so much in her early career.
@josh lol beyonce is a copycat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats Shakira!!!!….Many have tried to copy ur moves n pass them off as their own..but we know the truth…
@JOSH
Yes Beyonce has a star with DC.For me that is basically is having one.
I LOVE Shakira, but I had to read the title twice…I can’t believe she’s being honored that soon 😐 Anyway, granted that they are letting so many people get their stars on the Walk Of Fame nowadays, she’s one of the artists that deserve it.She’s an icon for Latin Americans, she was a leader back in 2001-2005 and she had a lot of impact, so it’s great.
The strange thing about Shakira is that she hasn’t had a smash hit for a long time, but people are still checking for her 😀 I hope she delivers with her next single.I really hope it will be amazing 🙂
This just goes to show anybody can get a star on the hollywood walk of fame.
I DON’T GET IT?
HER ONLY HIT WAS “HIPS DON’T LIE”
THAT DOESN’T CERTIFY HER TO GET A STAR
@JOSH
I AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT BEYONCE
BUT…. THEN AGAIN DESTINY’S CHILD GOT ONE… SO
Shakira was to be given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2009, but turned the offer down
She is so beautiful and talented! But so underrated in USA and UK
Shakira is one of the biggest international stars! She is WORLDWIDE!
Shakira has sold more than 70 million albums worldwide.
2001 “Whenever, Wherever” – #1 in 29 countries
2005 “La Tortura” broke the record on the Billboard’s Hot Latin Tracks chart, appearing at No.1 more than any other single (a total of 25 non-consecutive weeks).
2006 “Hips Don’t Lie” was the most-played pop song in a single week in American radio history. It was played 9,637 times in one week.
To date, over 10 million copies of the single has been sold, making it the best selling single of the 2000’s.
2008 Shakira was the fourth highest-earning woman in music for 2008 behind Madonna, Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion.
2010 “Waka Waka” #1 in 25 countries
2011 “Loca” #1 in 20 countries
“La Tortura” is currently the highest-selling only-Spanish language digital track in United States.
Latin Grammy Awards 7
Grammy Awards 2
MTV Video Music Awards 4
YES YOUR FAVES COULD NEVA!
About time, she looks stunning!
Shakira has been around since 1996, so she deserves her star.
Oh one more thing…Shaki can you PLEASE go back to Rock music and black hair. Thank you darling!
Yea i coulda sworn i heard Shakira was gettin that star few years ago. One of the comments says she turned it down so it all makes sense now. Its all good, i love me some Shakira dunno y she ain been poppin in Europe n US. Wakawaka was a hit errwhere but UK n US, oh well at least she grinded out by touring rather takin the easy way out
But damn u gotta admire the power of Beyonce, thats all im gonna say but i do hope this post remains “a Shakira post”
Wtf somebody mentioned too soon Hell no go shakira. Yes we all know beyonce tried being like shakira…hahaha where’s beyonces star I dc star don’t.count…
Why would she turn it down??Doesn’t make much sense to me
Anyway, DEAD @ the person who said she only has 1 hit 😆 😆 What about ‘Wherever Whenever’, ‘Underneath My Clothes’ and ‘Beautiful Liar’ then?
I find that Shakira is in general very overlooked.She has sold 70 million records worldwide but she just isn’t as successful as she used to be in the US.That’s all.She’s still huge in Europe and Latin America.With the right material, she will excell in the US too 😉
Finally someone worth mentioning. lol Shakira is one of the best, she is so over due for a star in the Walk Of Fame. This woman is beyond talented. The success she’s had is because of her producing, writing, and singing skills that she has crafted her own hits. She is her own woman. triple threat. I <3 her!
…and she would of had another #1 here in the Sates if she wouldn’t of declined the offer to be on Pitbull’s hit “Give Me Everything”. She was to have a feature in that song. That would have been hot!!!!!, to say the least.
that fucktard TYLER must’ve been born in 2005 because hips don’t lie is not even close to her only hit.
Yay Shakira Shakira!!
I love Shakira. I started to listen to her when she was just a local act. I never thought she would be that successful. Although she isn’t a good singer, she is an amazing performer and incredible songwritter. I have seen her performing many times and she’s the best. Actually, she’s the 2nd best performer of our generation, only behind Queen Bee of course.
Beyoncé, Shakira, Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga >>>>>> lessors
Congratulations !!!!!
I’M SO HAPPY FOR HER! SHE’S A FIERCE REPRESENTATION OF THE LATIN-AMERICAN TALENT!
Congrats Shakira!! She looks good.
I ADORE Shakira, she is lovely. And La Tortura is my jam!!
