World Class
Audiences are used to seeing Shakira clapping on stage but not as part of the crowd.
But the Colombian singer wasn't the star of the show for once when she cheered excitedly for her soccer star boyfriend, Gerard Piqué, as he took to the pitch on Thursday.
Shakira, 36, was, arguably the most enthusiastic fan in the stands prior to the FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013 Semi Final match between Spain and Italy.
But despite her cheers, the match - played in Fortaleza, Brazil - culminated with a nil-nil result.
As always, she was a huge supporter of Piqué, who is a centre back for both FC Barcelona and the Spanish National team.

While the couple's six-month old son, Milan, was not at the match, the Hips Don't Lie singer has encouraged him to get into the sport at an early age by buying him his own soccer ball.
The most popular sport in the world actually brought the couple together when Shakira recorded the official song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup called Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).
Piqué appeared in the music video for the international theme tune - and soon love along with footballs was also in the air.
Shakira officially confirmed their relationship on March 29, 2011, via Twitter and Facebook, posting a picture of the two with a caption reading, 'I present to you my sunshine.'
They announced in September 2012 that they were expecting their first child and Milan was born on January 22 in Barcelona, where they live.
Shakira, who was previously in an 11 year relationship with Argentinian lawyer Antonio de la Rúa, opened up about the father of her first child in the July issue of Elle magazine.
'He has his own world and that’s actually one of the healthiest things about the relationship,' the two-time Grammy winner said in the issue, which hit newsstands this week.
'I know that he’s the one person who is with me not because of any interest other than the love that unites us. There’s nothing I can offer him beyond my womanhood – does that word exist in English?'
As for motherhood, the petite blonde, who already appears to have lost all of her baby weight, confessed, 'I'm still trying to figure it out.
'And I have a feeling I will try to do the same for the rest of my life. Some people put it like it’s very idyllic, some people put it like it’s a torturing experience, but it’s not quite one thing or the other. It’s like life – it comes with everything.'
The Voice mentor plans on returning to Spain in late summer where she'll focus on parenting duties and finishing recording her eighth album.
