Shakira is in the news right now because her name was included in the second round of Panama Papers, called the Pandora Papers. I don't know much about it but someone released a bunch of leaks revealing offshore structures of the rich and famous. The fact that the leaks had Shakira's name in them certainly gave the Pandora Papers some hype and has everyone talking about how the singer is a big time tax evader. Who can blame her - she's Shakira.
Conveniently, Shakira also made an appearance in Cosmopolitan magazine today which is taking some of the hype away from her shady business dealings and is bringing us some thirst traps from the gym instead!
Shakira was shot by Ellen Von Unwerth and spoke to the magazine about her new hobbies like surfing and skateboarding, which she kinda rips at.
"I was exposed to different kinds of influences. I didn’t make the music I made just to please a type of audience or to accommodate a specific need of the market. I did what felt honest. On the flip side, when I entered the U.S. market, I wanted to honor my Latin roots."
She also spoke about how she started listening to bands like Nirvana and Metallica when she was 15 - not something we all knew about the 44 year old. See all the photos and read the full interview over here and see some behind the scenes action from the set of Shakira's cosmo photoshoot below!
So @cosmopolitan visited me at the gym and did a cover shoot just after I’d finished a workout.😆
Thanks to Ellen Von Unwerth for the fun photos.https://t.co/yQLtIv7tC1 pic.twitter.com/hg6STaNvpx— Shakira (@shakira) October 5, 2021

.@shakira: “I do feel a little ashamed saying it out loud. From an early age, I really wanted the world. I wanted to share my music with as many people as possible. I wanted everyone to listen to me.”

.@shakira: “There are artists who always need a crowd. I don’t need that. I like disappearing for a while and just being a person.”
