Shakira is going to trial in Spain and faces jail time because a judge in Spain has given the green light for the singer to stand trial on tax fraud charges.
The judge ruled Tuesday that prosecutors can move forward with a trial for the singer on six counts of tax fraud.

Shakira is accused of not paying 14.5 million euros or about $13.9 million in taxes for income she earned between 2012 and 2014.
Prosecutors hope to get an 8-year sentence and a hefty fine if she’s found guilty of the charges.
Shakira’s denying having to pay up, recently saying:
“I’ve paid everything they claimed I owed even before they filed a lawsuit. So as of today, I owe zero to them.”
