Shakira has rejected a deal from Spanish authorities and is going to trial over alleged tax fraud.
The Colombian singer has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing on her part.
Spanish prosecutors accused the entertainer in 2018 of failing to pay 14.5 million euros ($13.9 million) in taxes on income earned between 2012 and 2014.
Her public relations firm has said that she has already paid all that she owed and an additional three million euros in interest.
Prosecutors are seeking an eight-year prison sentence and a hefty fine if she is found guilty of tax evasion.
The court based in the town of Esplugues de Llobregat near Barcelona said that Shakira will face six counts of tax fraud. The date for the trial has yet to be set.
Prosecutors in Barcelona have alleged the Grammy winner spent more than half of the period between 2012 and 2014 in Spain and should have paid taxes in the country, even though her official residence was in the Bahamas.
