Colombian singer and global superstar Shakira made a memorable appearance on the chat show “Friday Night With Jonathan Ross.” The lively interview covered everything from her career to her personal life, with plenty of witty banter and infectious energy.
Shakira, known for her iconic dance moves and catchy hits, looked fabulous as she graced the stage. Jonathan Ross welcomed her warmly, acknowledging her big fan base in the UK. The conversation started with Shakira talking about her love for living in the Bahamas, where she enjoys a normal life and even goes to the supermarket in her pajamas. She revealed her love for coconuts, mangos, and all kinds of tropical fruits that she can simply pluck from the trees.
With her native language being Spanish, Shakira shared her journey of writing songs in English, admitting that she initially struggled with the language. However, her determination paid off, as she found success in both the Spanish-speaking and English-speaking worlds. She reflected on a moment when her lyrics were misinterpreted, particularly the line, “lucky that my breasts were small and humble so you don’t confuse them with mountains.”
The conversation then turned to her latest track, “She Wolf,” and its accompanying music video. Shakira disclosed that she choreographed the dance moves herself, which included some daring improvisation in a cage. She humorously mentioned that the video finally gave her the opportunity to show off her short legs, leading to a playful exchange with Jonathan Ross.
Aside from her music career, Shakira talked about her interest in quantum physics, stating that she had recently become fascinated by the subject. She also shared how her parents played a significant role in supporting her musical aspirations from a young age. Shakira became a producer and took control of her songs and arrangements, which ultimately led to her international success.
Intriguingly, Shakira also revealed her previous acting experience in a Colombian soap opera called “The Oasis” where she played a character involved in a complicated romantic storyline, including a strange twist where she unknowingly fell in love with her own brother.
Jonathan Ross commended Shakira for her charitable work and involvement in establishing schools in areas of extreme poverty in Colombia. She highlighted the importance of education and emphasized the impact it can have on transforming communities and helping those in need.
The interview concluded with Jonathan Ross expressing his admiration for Shakira‘s benevolence and her inspiring journey. The audience was thrilled to learn that she would be performing live later on the show.
And so, the stage was set for an unforgettable night filled with the mesmerizing talents of Shakira, whose hips may not lie, but her tear ducts definitely do!
