Shakira gained worldwide popularity from a very young age. From 2006 to 2007, she embarked on the ‘Oral Fixation Tour’. The Latin American singer reportedly desperately needed a break from her singing career. That’s when she decided to enroll in a university. Just hours ago, she revisited that same place and couldn’t control her excitement. She posted several snippets from her old campus and basketball court.
Her university days were a struggle in itself. That’s because she had just broken through in the US music industry and people recognized her basically everywhere. To avoid that, the singer once revealed that she used to adopt a ‘disguised’ look as a boy and attend classes. Years after that, she met her longtime ex-boyfriend Gerard Pique.
