On May 6, global pop sensation Shakira reunited with Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean for a nostalgic performance of their 2005 hit Hips Don’t Lie on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The performance marked the 20th anniversary of the chart-topping track, originally featured on Shakira’s album Oral Fixation Vol. 2.
Dressed in a striking red gown, Shakira began the set lying on sand before rising to perform her signature hip movements. Wyclef Jean joined her mid-performance, delivering his verses with the same energy that helped propel the song to global acclaim.
Celebrating a Billion Streams
As reported by People, the reunion comes just two years after the Colombian singer celebrated Hips Don’t Lie reaching 1 billion streams on Spotify. In a 2022 Instagram post, she thanked Wyclef Jean for the collaboration and fans for their ongoing support. Spotify called the track “a bop,” cementing its legacy as one of the most successful pop crossovers in music history.
Hit Song’s Chart Legacy
Upon its 2005 release, Hips Don’t Lie quickly topped multiple charts, including Billboard’s Hot 100, US Hot Latin Songs, and US Pop Airplay. It remains one of Shakira’s most recognizable and celebrated songs, credited with helping to solidify her status as a global superstar.
Upcoming Stadium Tour
Shakira is preparing to kick off the North American leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour on May 13 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The tour, originally scheduled for late 2024, was postponed to accommodate a much larger production.
“This is the biggest tour of my career, so we’ve upgraded to stadiums in the US,” Shakira stated. She will visit major cities including Toronto, Boston, Washington, and Miami, concluding the tour on June 30 at Oracle Park in San Francisco.
This will be Shakira’s first world tour since 2018’s El Dorado World Tour, and is in support of her latest album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.
