Shakira hits major milestone on Spotify thanks to Hips Don’t Lie
Shakira celebrated one billion Spotify streams of her song Hips Don’t Lie, marking an astounding career milestone.
The 45-year-old singer, who was recently forced to stand trial for alleged tax fraud of €14.5 million, was celebrating the accomplishment while putting the scandal behind her.
In a Twitter post on Tuesday, the star put on a brave face as she shared a snap of herself holding her new plaque while thanking her fans for their support.
“Wow! One billion streams for ‘Hips Don’t Lie,’ “ the singer wrote in the caption alongside a picture of her celebrating the milestone with a plaque. The hit pop song also featured Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean.
“Thank you to @spotify for the plaque, to @wyclefjean for the collaboration and to all of you for your incredible support,” she continued.
“One billion streams don’t lie!” the audio streaming platform replied in the comments section. “This track will always be a bop ????”
Shakira looked stunning in the snap as she donned a black T-shirt and matching leather trousers.

Hips Don’t Lie was released in 2006 and went to number one in 18 countries, becoming one of the all-time best-selling singles.
It happens after a Spanish judge ruled that Shakira would face trial for allegedly committing a tax fraud worth €14.5 million (£12.9 million).
The singer, whose break-up with Barcelona footballer Gerard Pique made headlines earlier this year, was first given the warning that she might spend up to eight years in prison in July after being charged with six counts of tax fraud.
