Colombian singer Shakira has become the official poster child for Facebook after she nabbed the record as the first person in history with over 100 million likes. If there is a popularity contest to be judged, we can prove via Facebook that the 37-year-old beauty will win hands down. 100 million likes is reason enough to unofficially crown Shakira as the queen of Facebook. CEO and founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg wrote the following comment on the “She Wolf” singer’s page:
“Congrats! What an amazing milestone for an amazing person.”
Shakira said in a statement about her amazing milestone:
“I am honored and humbled about reaching this milestone. Social media and specifically Facebook has helped myself and other artists bridge the gap between the stage and the audience.”
