Dressed in her signature red bodysuit and barefoot, Shakira revived the essence of “Hips Don’t Lie,” a song originally released in 2006 as part of the re-release of her Oral Fixation Vol. 2 album.
The performance included renewed choreography and a set design that evoked the energy of the Barranquilla Carnival, paying homage to its Colombian roots.
Wyclef Jean joined Shakira on stage to perform his verses, recreating the chemistry that made “Hips Don’t Lie” a global phenomenon.
The song reached number one in more than 55 countries and has sold more than 16 million copies, establishing itself as one of the most successful singles of all time.
