00:32 Shakira's celebratory evening comes shortly after fans learned of a new legal battle that
00:38 the artist is facing.
00:40 According to NBC News, a court in Spain, where the singer previously resided, has opened
00:46 an investigation into a second case of alleged tax fraud by Shakira.
00:52 The accusations stem from the year 2018.
00:56 She already faces accusations of 14.5 million euros in unpaid tax income from between 2012
01:04 and 2014.
01:05 A source with knowledge of the situation tells E! News, "Shakira defends having always acted
01:11 in accordance with the law and under the advice of the best tax experts."
01:16 Her latest legal hurdle comes amid a turbulent year for the "She Wolf" singer.

01:41 with sadness because of my separation from Gerard and that her dad was gravely injured
01:48 in an accident during her eldest son's first communion.
01:52 "Everything happened at once," she told the outlet.
01:54 "My home was falling apart.
01:57 I was finding out through the press that I had been betrayed while my dad was in the
02:01 ICU."

02:08 how hard it was to not be able to go to her father, who she calls her best friend, for
02:13 advice during that time.
