Video: Shakira Reveals Her Favorite "She Wolf" Track, Says She "Loves" Taylor Swift

Shakira's reign as the star of Rolling Stone's latest issue comes to an end tomorrow, but we couldn't let the Colombian singer's RS cover pass by without throwing a party in celebration of her upcoming album She Wolf, out November 23rd. We caught up with Shakira on the red carpet at New York's Bowery Hotel before the partying got underway and she told us what she really thought about Taylor Swift's impersonation of her on Saturday Night Live this past weekend.

Plus, Shakira gives us all the details on her next video, "Give It Up to Me," which features Lil Wayne, and reveals her favorite track off She Wolf. Get the full scoop in our red carpet video above.

“Baby Got Back”

Sir Mix-a-Lot | 1992

While watching a Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl, Sir Mix-a-Lot thought the skinny female models in the ad didn’t represent reality. So he wrote this ode to ample bottoms, featuring its famous to-the-point lyric: “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” MTV banished the video, featuring shaking booties and sexually suggestive fruit, to 9 p.m. or later. “I thought my career was over,” he told Rolling Stone. “Then I called Rick Rubin, and I told him the video was banned, and he was like, 'Great!' We sold another 2 million records.”
