Shakira Twitter & News: Video Shows 'Hips Don't Lie' Singer During Childhood
It's not the first time videos of a young Shakira have surfaced, and based on her star quality even as a young girl, it would be surprising if it's the last.
The 37-year-old singer is featured as an 11-year-old in Barranquilla, Colombia. The video's sound quality is a bit off, but the young Shakira sang three songs: "Sin él" by Marisela, "Quinceañera" by Timbiriche and "Aatini Al Nay" by Fairuz, a Lebanese artist.
For the most part, Shakira looks exactly the same. Her face is easily recognizable, but she has dark hair, similar to when she first launched her career in Latin America.
For her last song, Shakira had an outfit change and showed her belly-dancing skills, which would end up being one of her signature moves, even 25 years later.
Nowadays, Shakira is enjoying a wave of success.
Her song for the FIFA World Cup soundtrack, "La La La (Brazil 2014)," has more than 200 million views on YouTube, and it is doing better than the official World Cup song by Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leite.
She recently announced that she would be performing at the closing ceremonies for the World Cup, and she credits fans for getting her the gig.
Before heading back to Brazil, Shakira and boyfriend Gerard Pique have taken a little vacation in Mexico, Azteca Noticias noted. And though baby bump rumors have begun, she recently explained that she wasn't looking to have another child just yet.
"I would feel guilty to have another baby now and take attention away from Milan," she said. "Everything is pretty perfect right now, so why change?"
Luckily, the singer doesn't feel any pressure. Well, except from her mother-in-law, who really wants a granddaughter.
"She has two grandsons and wants a baby girl so badly," the singer said.
