Shakira continues to make headlines — and this time for winning a tax battle she had in Spain for more than eight years.
On Monday (May 18), Spain‘s National Court acquitted the Colombian superstar in a tax fraud case, ordering the government to return her 60 million euros ($69 million), along with interest and legal costs.
The court concluded that the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer did not meet the minimum residency requirement to be taxed in Spain during 2011, per a judicial document obtained by Billboard Español. In the case, tax authorities argued that the artist spent enough time in Spanish territory to be considered a tax resident, though she was on tour and performed 120 concerts in 37 countries that year.
“After more than eight years enduring brutal public accusations and sleepless nights that took a toll on my health and my family’s well-being, the National Court has finally set the record straight,” Shakira said in a statement. “There was never any fraud, and the Administration itself was never able to prove otherwise.”
Meanwhile, in an Instagram post shared by Billboard, fans expressed their support, most of them saying the case should have not taken eight years to resolve, and others saying justice has been served. “Any victory against the tax ministry in Spain, is a victory for all of us,” commented one fan.
The latest tax war news comes on the heels of Shakira dropping the official 2026 FIFA World Cup song “Dai Dai” in collaboration with Burna Boy.
