She's released one of the biggest-selling singles of the last decade, 'Hips Don't Lie', and sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, but if you're one of the people who bought any of those records, I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that Shakira would have been perfectly happy for you to have them all for free.
Asked about her opinion of illegal downloading, the singer told Sky News: "I like what's going on because I feel closer to the fans and the people who appreciate the music. It's the democratisation of music, in a way. And music is a gift. That's what it should be, a gift".
Right, that's it from us today. I'm off to download Shakira's back catalogue. What? She said it was okay!
