Yesterday, the Colombian city of Barranquilla celebrated the reveal of a new statue of famed singer Shakira. Soon after, the internet joined in — to say how much they’d like to bang it.



For some context, Shakira was born and raised in Barranquilla. This statue is a celebration of the singer’s storied career, from her #1 hits around the world to her Sherlock Holmes-level detective abilities. However, the internet didn’t want to hear about these achievements. Instead, they could only think of one thing: wanting to put their wet, sloppy lips around the statue’s toes.



Being the obsession of foot fetishists isn’t new for Shakira. She frequently performs barefoot, has a charity called the Barefoot Foundation and also has a song called “Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos,” which translates to “Bare Feet, White Dreams.”




The plaque under the statue also mentions her bare feet, saying that the star has “a heart that composes, hips that do not lie, an unmatched talent, a voice that moves masses and bare feet that march for the good of childhood and humanity.” Sure, this is likely referencing her charity work, but she does also have a perfect score on wikiFeet, so that’s got to count for something.


So if you’re in Barranquilla, stop by the Shakira statue — and get a good look at the feet before they’re inevitably covered owing to “incidents.”
