Shakira strips to sequined leotard for raunchy performance... then celebrates with a kiss for Gerard Pique at Billboard Awards

By Archie Rice

She famously sang that Hips Don't Lie.

So there can be little doubt Shakira was having a good time as she delivered a raunchy performance at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday.

The Latina lovely gave viewers something to remember her by after donning a skimpy dress before singing Empire at the popular music show.

They still don't lie: And she was clearly still on a high when she wrapped her legs round beau Gerard Pique before giving him a kiss

It was a night her Barcelona footballer partner Gerard Pique will not forget either, after she lustily leapt into his arms and delivered a lingering kiss as she celebrated her well received turn.

And she was clearly in near peak form as she pulled of a series of raunchy dance moves, and was clearly relishing the big stage.

Shaira gave it her all as she grooved and grinded her way through her performance, at one point thrusting her microphone high in the air.

The 37-year-old showed off a figure that would make many half her age jealous in a golden sequined number, fishnet tights and racy thigh high stacked heeled boots.

Empire state of mind: The Latina lovely enjoyed having the chance to plug her latest album

Standing on end: The crowd got a cheap thrill when she raised her microphone into the air

Ironically, the saucy singer gave the performance a definitive exclamation point when she came off stage.

She could not help but lunge at Spain star beau Gerard Pique, wrapping her legs around his waist as she kissed him with wild abandon.

And while the 27-year-old was doubtlessly enjoying himself, he would be forgiven for being slightly worried she could do him an injury before his team's crunch World Cup defence campaign, which kicks off in Brazil next month.

Risking an injury: Spain star Gerard was surely worried about pulling a muscle when the star leapt onto him

Just ignore them: Perhaps Shakira dished out sage advice after Gerard asked who was sitting to their rear

However it will have certainly have helped cheer him up after his Barcelona side were deposed as the champions of Spain by Athletico Madrid on Saturday.

While Shakira delivered what was arguably the turn of the night, the lascivious lovely certainly had plenty of rivals.

Aussie rockers 5 Seconds of Summer, who were cringeworthily introduced by Kendall Jenner, Katy Perry, Lorde and Robin Thicke were among the other performers.

And some women wonder why they are not respected. I am sure men love the sexy outfits and posing, but at the end of the day they are not thinking with their brains when they are watching.

Shakira is starting to be another Mariah. She had it all but is losing it to tackiness.

Who comes up with these photo captions!? Pique would have been worrying about pulling a muscle would he? He had Shakira literally wrapped around him, I think that would be his last thought right then.
