The Colombian pop star, Shakira was in Las Vegas on Tuesday night to perform at the premiere of Love in the Time of Cholera, for which she wrote three songs.

The film, based on the novel by fellow Colombian Gabriel García Márquez, about a lifelong love affair, struck a chord with the singer.

Of love, she says, “It’s my primary nourishment. I think that nothing else in life, not even your career or music – well, what I’m saying is a bold statement – I think that nothing can substitute love as the propelling force of everyone’s lives. It’s number one on my list of priorities, of course.”
