The Sizzling NYC Outing

Blossoming Friendship?
Of course, Shakira and Lucien may be simply close friends and colleagues.

In addition to the buzz around “Puntería” and her new album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, the Colombian superstar also delivered a showstopping performance in Times Square to over 40,000 fans. With her signature dance moves and soaring vocals still utterly intact, Shakira is proving that her hips still don’t lie.
