\n\tShakira had the crowd\u2019s hips shaking for her electrifying headlining set at Global Citizen Festival in Central Park on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\n\tAppearing in a sparkling, sheer full-length body suit and backed by dancers and a band, she launched her performance with \u201cShe Wolf,\u201d conjuring fans to howl along with her during the song.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI\u2019m so thrilled to be here tonight, knowing that each one of you is here because you gave your time or your support to someone you don\u2019t know, but who needed it,\u201d she said between songs. \u201cAnd I\u2019m so proud of each one of you tonight. It\u2019s so amazing to be surrounded by so many people who really care. So thank you so much for caring, thank you so much Global Citizen for this initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe 2025 festival focused on increasing access to energy for 1 million people in Africa and \u2014 by working with FIFA \u2014 ensuring that 30,000 children access quality education and football. The two organizations will mobilize $200 million to protect 30 million hectares of Amazon rainforest. The event will also help register 40,000 New Yorkers to volunteer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tAmid the bangers, she also wove in a ballad. \u201cThis next song, I think you remember it,\u201d she said before delivering \u00a0\u201cUnderneath Your Clothes.\u201d Shakira then donned a long, fluttery skirt that emphasized the earth-shaking dance moves and engaging choreography of closing songs \u201cWaka Waka (This Time for Africa)\u201d and her mega-hit \u201cHips Don\u2019t Lie.\u201d At the end of her set, she repeated one of the lines from the song, \u201cNo fighting,\u201d she said with a smile while blowing a kiss to fans.<\/p>\n
