The "Hips Don't Lie" performer opened up about how she's "experimented with different genres in my career," noting that she "started out as a rock artist and continued to make rock." She cited three albums from her discography that are influenced by the genre: Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, Tiempo Sin Verte and Cómo Dónde y Cuándo.
Rock music is "an intricate part of my artistic persona," said Shakira. "And everything that I listen to is rock music. So, to be nominated, for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, knowing that there are so many incredible icons of rock music that I adore, that inspired me, like The Rolling Stones [are in there] … to me, it is just a privilege and really an amazing moment in my career."
Shakira further illustrated the "surreal" nature of the nomination. "I don't know what's going on," she said. "But this year, like, all my wishes are coming true and I think this nomination is one of those things that you probably fantasize about sometime in your career but try not to get too fixated on it."

She continued, "Being nominated is a huge deal for me and my fans who followed my rock career."
The "She Wolf" artist also noted the nomination's personal significance for the Latin music community. "I feel very proud as a Latina," she said. "I feel like, 'Oh damn, I don't know how many Latinos are there, or Latinas, or at least Colombians.' I think it might be the first time for a Latino woman, someone born and raised in Latin America, you now, but who is loved and has been devoted to rock 'n' roll since I was, I don't know, 15."
"I'm happy to feel that I'm representing a part of my community there," explained Shakira.
