Shakira’s Most Memorial VMA Moments
Relive Shakira's Most Memorable Moments at the VMAs

On August 28, 2005, Shakira performed her single "La Tortura" off her sixth studio album, "Fijación Oral Vol. 1" alongside Spanish singer-songwriter Alejandro Sanz. It was the first time in MTV Video Music Awards history that a song was performed in a completely different language other than English. It's hard to describe the impact "La Tortura" had when Shakira dropped the track in 2005. Not only did it mark the return of the multilingual singer-songwriter (she speaks seven different languages) to Spanish-language hitmaking, it was an incredibly energetic song that could be heard everywhere you went. It even garnered a reggaetón remix by none other than the golden boys of the genre at the time, Luny Tunes.
