Shakira surprised by Rock Hall nomination

What they're saying: "I had to double-check, and then I just felt really grateful," she said last week.

• "It's not something you expect. I'm so over the moon with my fans who've been supporting me for 30 years already, and they continue to accompany me and to make things like these that sound almost impossible happen."

The big picture: Shakira has been eligible for the Rock Hall since 2016 but received her first nomination this year.

• She is the first native Colombian to be nominated and would be the first female inductee to hail from Latin America.

What's next: The class of 2026 will be announced next month.
