Shakira recently held an exciting social media contest where she offered her coveted Purple Lamborghini Urus to one lucky fan. The 47-year-old Colombian singer, often referred to as the Queen of Latin Music, invited her followers to create and share videos of themselves dancing to her latest single, Soltera. The contest, announced through her Instagram, was a fun way to engage with her fans while celebrating the release of the song.
The winner of the contest was artist Michael Mejia, who impressed Shakira with a unique and creative video in which he drew a portrait of the singer to the rhythm of Soltera. Shakira was clearly moved by Michael’s heartfelt entry and took to Instagram to congratulate him. She shared a touching message, saying, “I’m happy it’s you. Your story touched me deeply. I know you’ve been through difficult moments, like a divorce. I understand what you’re going through. I hope this car brings you joy because being single can be great,” referring to the empowering lyrics of her song.
Michael, overjoyed with the win, celebrated his victory on Instagram, expressing his excitement with the message, “We did it! We did it! We did it!” His enthusiasm was shared by Shakira, who also announced the winner on her Instagram Stories, adding to the celebration.
The contest came on the heels of Shakira’s announcement of the giveaway following the release of Soltera on November 20th. In her original post, Shakira wrote, “A promise is a promise! I confirm! I’m going to give my car to someone who really wants to have it and enjoy new unforgettable moments with the people I love the most.” The car, which she had bought as a personal gift after embracing her single life, held sentimental value for the singer.
In explaining the motivation behind the contest, Shakira shared, “This car was a gift to myself as I began my single life, but I realized that what truly matters is human connection. The car, the clothes, the material things—they don’t transform us. It’s the people we love and the connections we build that truly make a difference.” This heartfelt message resonated with her fans, further emphasizing the importance of love and meaningful relationships over material possessions.
