The end of the video featured a handwritten note by the singer thanking her fans again for propelling her "on this incredible journey." She concluded, "I couldn't do it without you all!"

Prior to her world record, Shakira's Facebook popularity was eminent.

In March, Shakira became the most liked musician on Facebook with 86.3 million likes, Billboard.com reports.

But, according to Variety, Shakira's recent growth in Facebook friends seemed to come after performing her song "La La La (Brazil 2014") at this year's World Cup closing ceremony.

The "La La La" music video, which has been viewed over 236 million times, helped catapult Shakira's fan base and social media following.

"I am honored and humbled about reaching this milestone," Shakira, 37, told People Magazine. "Social media and specifically Facebook has helped myself and other artists bridge the gap between the stage and the audience."
