In like manner, Shakira proved that she is not only a worldwide superstar but also a boss who really cares for her team. The Colombian singer recently shared a behind-the-scenes moment where she gave her dancers early Christmas presents that have been trending on the internet.

The post was captioned, “What happens backstage stays backstage! Or not? Christmas came early for my dancers!” Shakira was seen passing out hair care products to team members–blue shampoo for blondes, completely thought-out gifts inclusive of hydrating mask and conditioner. The after-video showed footage of hilarious exchanges and gratitude, which gave fans a peek into the warm relationship between Shakira and her crew.

What a beautiful gesture! Again, you show that your affection for your team goes beyond the stage,” shared one individual, who also noted that this really does connect Shakira’s life with her care for her team outside of work. Another fan supported them,”because the team is the true foundation of the artist’s success”.

But there were those who just couldn’t get behind that. One cynic called it “just marketing,” to which another replied, “Why can’t it be both?” And that’s exactly it-the two are not mutually exclusive! This may just be a great marketing campaign, or maybe she’s really into these people. Either way, Shakira knows how to keep her team happy.

Then, the comments took a turn toward envy and praise. “I need a friend like this,” one commenter said. Another exulted: “Soooo happy. Shaki you are the besttttt.” Some others even joked that they wanted to join her dance team just for the treats: “I want to be your dancer, Shaki!” one fan said.

Some users grabbed the opportunity to call for some of the goods for themselves, one writing in Persian, “I love these for my hair too!” Another chimed in: “Give me some too, girl!” The universal language of freebies, I guess.

Giving the video a soundtrack were a series of comedic moments: an ongoing query of, “Where’s the filter?” was met with Shakira bouncing around the room thanking a bunch of people. The rare sort of funny made it clear this was not a PR lickety-split but genuine appreciation shared mutually.

Admittedly, however, at least one person refused to stay on topic, twice demanding Shakira to “tell me about Gaza.” But most of the participants went on about the sweet backstage moment and its “beautiful energy.”

It is yet another manifestation of belonging to the very fabric of Shakira’s popularity–what makes people love her: not only is she a fantastic entertainer, but she is also a genuine human being who loves her team putting together her productions. Whether it is a big or small gesture, she knows how to acknowledge her team. That energy is needed on the world scale.

This leads all signs to indicate that Shakira’s dancers are quite festive in their minds, despite months away from Christmas. And for anybody ready to write this one down, take note that maybe a huge haul of hair products makes for some loyal friends. Just putting that out there.
