Shakira and Wyclef Jean’s fiery reunion on The Tonight Show celebrates 20 years of ‘Hips Don’t Lie’—a nostalgic, hip-shaking blast from the past!
Hey, guess what? Shakira and Wyclef Jean just teamed up on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to celebrate 20 years of “Hips Don’t Lie,” and it was like a time machine straight back to 2005. I’m still buzzing from it!
Picture this: Shakira hits the stage in a killer red outfit, hips swinging like nobody’s business, while Wyclef brings that laid-back swagger we all love. The stage was covered in sand—super beachy vibes—and with a live band and dancers, the whole thing felt like a party you didn’t want to end.
If you were around when “Hips Don’t Lie” dropped, you know it was everywhere. That trumpet riff? Those cumbia-reggaeton-pop beats? It was the song that had us all dancing—or at least trying to.
I’ll admit, I spent way too much time back then attempting Shakira’s moves in front of the mirror, and let’s just say I’m no pro. But that’s the magic of it—everyone felt the groove, from your best friend to that one random guy at the party who thought he could nail it.
What’s wild is how this song didn’t just stick around—it changed the game. Shakira was already huge, but “Hips Don’t Lie” made her a global icon.
Two decades later, she’s still killing it, with her new album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran topping charts and a North American tour kicking off May 13 in North Carolina. She’s even popping back on Fallon’s show May 8 to chat about the song, her album, and the tour.
Plus, later this month, she’s performing “Antología,” a gorgeous 1996 ballad that’s got longtime fans like me super excited.
Wyclef’s still a legend too, mixing his Haitian hip-hop style into everything he touches. Seeing them together again? It’s proof great music doesn’t fade—it just gets better.
If you missed it, catch the clip online. And if you can grab tour tickets, do it—Shakira’s hips are still telling the truth, and she’s got us all moving 20 years later!
