Shakira didn’t hold back during her performance, and neither did Bizarrap, who was accompanying her on stage. There was also some backlash regarding the performance. Nonetheless, the duo put on an electrifying performance that left the audience wanting more. But it was Shakira’s candid revelation about her “physical reaction’” to music that left Jimmy Fallon visibly excited.
How music makes Shakira move
Shakira talked about her reaction to good music saying, “I usually have this visceral sort of physical reaction to music. And if you see me, you know, two-stepping, things are not right, you know”. She further added, “I know when a song works because then I suddenly start moving, like, getting these like small contractions from my tailbone to my iliac bone. And then it just results into, you know hip movement.”
Jimmy Fallon with reference to one of her most popular songs replied, “Are you telling me that your hips don’t lie?” To which Shakira agreed with a little smile on her face. Shakira’s candid admission left Jimmy Fallon in an apparent state of disbelief and he was quick to express his reaction.

Fallon was clearly taken aback by Shakira’s admission and he was quick to express his joy. “This is the best thing that ever happened to me. This is the greatest,” Fallon said. “I can retire now, this is all I ever wanted to know is if, really, if your hips do lie or don’t lie to you.”
Shakira agreed to it with a smug on her face. “They certainly don’t lie. They do not ever,” she added. “And I know when a song is right when they start to move.” Shakira’s hips don’t lie and neither does her talent. Her appearance on the show was certainly a delight for fans and Fallon’s reaction was just the icing on the cake.
