What the 2027 Songwriters Hall of Fame nomination means
The Songwriters Hall of Fame announced its 2027 nominees on Thursday, November 5, 2026. The organization recognizes both performing writers and songwriters who write for other performers, making the nomination a direct acknowledgment of Shakira’s work as an artist and composer.
The announcement placed Shakira among a broad group of international candidates. The announced nominee list also includes Lady Gaga, Pink, Jack White, Sia, Boy George and Vince Gill. Billboard’s dated nomination listing identifies the same 2027 class and places Shakira in its performing-writer field.
Shakira’s songwriting catalog spans languages and styles
Shakira is a Colombian singer-songwriter whose catalog moves between Spanish and English. Her music combines Latin pop with mainstream pop, rock, dance and acoustic influences, helping her songwriting reach audiences across multiple markets.
Her album catalog includes Fijación Oral, Vol. 1, El Dorado and Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. A Colombian singer-songwriter profile also places her among the Grammy-recognized artists whose work has connected Latin music with the wider pop market.
Songs named in Shakira’s 2027 nomination
The nomination highlights songwriting rather than a performance date or a new recording. The organization’s list names Hips Don’t Lie, Dai Dai, Whenever, Wherever, La Tortura and Inevitable as examples from her catalog.
The selection therefore reflects both sides of her public identity: a vocalist associated with international pop hits and a writer whose songs have been recorded and performed across languages. Voting on the 2027 class closes on December 14, 2026, at midnight Eastern Time.
