Superstar singer Shakira will celebrate U.S. President-elect Barack Obama's White House victory, with a performance at his inauguration party.

The Hips Don't Lie singer is reportedly slated to join stars including Susan Sarandon, Spike Lee, and Anne Hathaway at the glitzy event in Washington, D.C. in Jan 2009.

She was a vocal supporter of Obama during his election campaign. In return, the Democrat voiced his admiration for the Colombian singer's charity work in aid of Latin American children.

Shakira is now lined up to perform at a celebration to be held after Obama is formally sworn into office on 20 January, 2009.
