Singer Shakira tried vegetarianism — but only lasted one month!

The Hips Don’t Lie hitmaker says she tried to cut meat from her diet after befriending some chickens, but it was short-lived.

“I lasted for one month,” she says. “I tried, I really tried. Yeah, I gave it a go. I was living in Spain on a farm, and someone gave me four chickens. I named them and they became very close to me. And then I couldn’t eat them.

“I was like ‘Okay, if I cannot eat these chickens because they actually have names and they are my friends, I am not going to be able to eat any chicken again. So I became a vegetarian. I didn’t last – but I did not eat those chickens. Those chickens survived.”

The 32-year-old also revealed that she’s been wiggling her hips since the day she was born.

“I’ve been dancing for as long as I can remember,” she dished. “Some people in some regions just learn to dance before they can walk. Thanks to my genes and my DNA I began moving my waist long before anyone ever expected me to.”
