"Due to personal matters, I won't be able to travel to Las Vegas & LA to attend the @LatinGRAMMYs or the @AMAs this year," she tweeted. "I will be accompanying @carlosvives in spirit @LatinGRAMMYs, celebrating this incredible year that we've shared together with #LaBicicleta."

Although we won't be seeing her in the upcoming award shows, we can soon expect the Colombian beauty to premiere her music video with Maluma for their hit song "Chantaje" which is already No. 1 on three different Billboard charts.

"I am so grateful to Shakira for having invited me to work with her in the studio--it has been an unforgettable experience--  and to now receive this number one for our song together is a great honor. Thanks as well to radio and the fans for your support," the singer said upon receiving the news.
