It is no secret that Shakira is kind of a World Cup Staple at this point. Ever since she released her first World Cup Anthem, "Hips Don't Lie," and performed it at the 2006 event in Germany, Shakira and the World Cup have been inextricably linked. It's now hard to picture the event without her, and this year's tournament marked the fourth time since 2006 that the pop icon was charged with making a song for the event.
