You can count pop singer Shakira as a big Metallica fan. Earlier this week, she posted to more than one hundred and twenty-three million combined social media followers: “On Tuesdays we listen to Metallica and paint our nails fluorescent blue.”

You can see in the pic she’s also wearing a Metallica t-shirt. When Shakira first started gaining popularity in the U.S. in the early 2000s, she said in interviews that she viewed herself more as a rock artist than a pop star. “In general, I think the rock side of my music comes out more naturally. For some reason, onstage my songs sound much more rock ‘n’ roll oriented.” The pop-star has also featured a cover of ‘Nothing Else Matters’ in her live sets as well, check it out below:
