Shakira just scored one of those career milestones that feels both overdue and strangely controversial in 2026: a first-time nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Hall announced its 2026 nominees on February 25, and Shakira appears on a ballot that also includes Mariah Carey, P!NK, Wu-Tang Clan, Lauryn Hill, Oasis, Sade, Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, The Black Crowes, Jeff Buckley, INXS, Melissa Etheridge, Luther Vandross, and New Edition.
