Shakira shares behind-the-scenes glimpse of her performance and 48th birthday celebrations at the 2025 Grammys.
Shakira is making her 48th birthday an unforgettable occasion, not only celebrating in style but also dazzling audiences with a highly anticipated performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards. As the Grammy-winning Colombian singer prepared to take the stage on February 2, the same day as her birthday, she shared a sneak peek into what the evening would look like.
In a set of behind-the-scenes photos posted on social media, Shakira gave fans an exclusive look at her rehearsal for the Grammy stage. In the first image, the pop icon can be seen grabbing her hair and striking one of her signature hip-shaking poses, while in the second, she is pulling off another of her trademark moves on a rehearsal mat.
“I’m coming back to the GRAMMYs stage and on my birthday!” Shakira wrote in her caption. “See you tomorrow night. #GRAMMYs.” The excitement surrounding her return to the Grammy stage was palpable, as the singer has been absent from the show for several years.
Alongside Shakira, several other high-profile artists are scheduled to perform, including Benson Boone, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Doechii, RAYE, Sabrina Carpenter, and Teddy Swims, adding to the star-studded atmosphere of the evening.
This year’s Grammy Awards are particularly special for Shakira, as she is nominated for Best Latin Pop Album for her 12th studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women Don’t Cry Anymore), which was released in March 2024. This album marks Shakira’s first new release in seven years, further elevating the significance of her return to the Grammy stage.
Though the competition is fierce, Shakira has an impressive Grammy history, having won Best Latin Pop Album for El Dorado in 2018 and Shakira – MTV Unplugged in 2001. She also took home the award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album in 2006 for Fijación Oral Vol. 1.
As Shakira celebrates her birthday in front of millions, her performance promises to be a highlight of the evening, cementing her legacy as a global music icon.
