After maintaining innocence for nearly five years, the pop star acknowledged failing to pay about $15.8 million in taxes. She will receive a suspended three-year sentence and a fine of $7.6 million.

Throughout the 2000s and onwards, Shakira became the melting pot pop star that only she could be, pivoting from one eccentric transformation to the next.

Shakira's new single is a full-on diss track, aimed at her ex. It also went straight to the top of the Spotify Top 50 Global chart and hit 100 million views on YouTube in under 3 days.

A judge approved a trial for the Colombian pop singer, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and rejected a deal with authorities.

Authorities say the Columbian spent at least half the year in Spain in 2012, 2013 and 2014, when she was married to an FC Barcelona football player. That would mean she dodged $15 million in taxes.
