Shakira is the woman of the year.

The singer accepted the "Mujer del Año" or "Woman of the Year" award at Billboard's Latin Women in Music event Saturday, and gave a touching speech.

"It doesn't matter so much if someone is faithful or not; what really matters is if you continue to be faithful to yourself," she said, alluding to her breakup from longtime partner and father of her children Gerard Piqué.
