“It’s just not right to compete against Shakira in a dance contest.”
Fans are showering Shakira with praise for her impressive performance of a popular TikTok dance while wearing six-inch heeled boots. The singer recently made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she and the host engaged in a fun competition called the “Watch-It-Once TikTok Challenge”. In this challenge, they had to learn viral dances from TikTok with just a single viewing. Shakira and Fallon kicked things off with a dance routine choreographed by Jess Qualter and Brooke Blewitt, which is set to a TikTok song composed by Duke Jones featuring Louis Theroux rapping.
After the second viewing of the dance, Shakira disregarded the rules and flawlessly executed the routine, including one she had personally choreographed to the song “Te Felicito.” She then humbly admitted to Fallon that she lacks expertise in dancing while wearing high heels. Wrapping up her second performance, she mentioned, “I don’t know how to dance in high heels.” Despite her self-doubt, Shakira’s segment received immense praise from viewers, who expressed their admiration for her impressive dance moves. The singer also took to TikTok to share her jiggle-filled dance to the track “Jiggle Jiggle,” acknowledging Fallon’s contribution by captioning the video, “@jimmyfallon made me jiggle jiggle for TikTok.” This remarkable display has amassed over 32.1 million views on the platform.
One individual remarked, “You make it seem so effortless as well,” as another person quipped, “Shakira claims she can’t dance in high heels… yet here she is, dancing flawlessly in high heels.” Some even playfully compared Shakira’s dance skills to Fallon’s, with someone commenting, “This was absolutely hilarious. I could sense Jimmy’s embarrassment throughout the performance.”
“Jimmy performed admirably during the second round, but I completely agree with him – it’s hardly fair to compete with someone like Shakira in a dance competition,” another person chimed in.
