Shakira attended UCLA in disguise

Shakira used to dress up in disguise so she could study at UCLA.

The Colombian pop singer recently told the Guardian that after she finished her tour for Oral Fixation Vol. 2 in 2007 she attended the university’s summer school.

“It was such a long tour, I needed a break from me,” she said. “The universe is so broad, I cannot be at the centre of it. So I decided to go to the university and study history for a summer course, just to kind of switch gears, taste the student life.”

The best part though is that the “She Wolf” herself enrolled under her middle name and went incognito dressed in men’s clothes.

“I used to wear a cap and a big backpack, I looked like a boy,” she admitted. “I didn’t get recognized. Some people looked at me very suspiciously, a few people asked me, but I told them my name was Isabelle. I would go to university over and over again if I could.”

Judging by her performance on Saturday Night Live this past weekend though, she’s definitely back to being a woman!
