Shakira Requires A Spotless Stage

Talk about making a job tough on people. Shakira reportedly makes her roadies scrub and clean the stage before every concert, because she likes to perform in bare feet. Just think of the labor that a pair of sandals or slippers would save.

The singer, who is currently on the European leg of her ‘Oral Fixation Tour’, prefers to shake around the stage with no shoes on and insists the floor be spotlessly clean.

She told Life Style Extra: “It’s got to be clean otherwise I can’t go on.”

On another note, Shakira has also revealed in the interview that she is desperate to visit Scotland, although the country is not one of the stops on her current tour.

She said: “I love Scotland. I think it’s beautiful. I don’t always get to decide where I go on tour. It’s the promoters, but I would love to come.” As long as the stage is clean, that is.

Finally, Shakira also confessed in the interview that she is anxious about turning 30 on February 2 this year.

She said: “It’s scary. I don’t know what I’ll be doing yet, but turning 30 is a big thing.”

Shakira’s tour kicked off in the German city of Hamburg on January 25th.
