Shak is back.

The Colombian pop star has recently relocated to Miami after spending years in Spain while in a relationship with her ex Gerard Pique, with whom she shares two sons.

She seems to love her new city and has wasted no time indulging in all that the Magic City has to offer.

The weekend was jam packed full of events, the big one being the Formula One race at Hard Rock Stadium.

The 46-year-old singer really got her fans revved up when pics were taken of her chatting with Tom Cruise, a car racing aficionado since 1990’s “Days of Thunder.”

The relationship with the “Mission: Impossible” star is certainly possible but unclear, although they were seen chatting intensely one on one on a balcony.

According to Page Six, the action hero, 60, is “interested” in the Super Bowl LIV princess and even sent her flowers.

“There is chemistry,” a source told the outlet.

But it seems Shakira is just enjoying herself, taking in her new city, making new friends and keeping her options open.

Because on Tuesday night, the “Hips Don’t Lie” hitmaker was reportedly seen in the company of someone almost as equally famous: Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton.

A blurry video is circulating on Twitter of Shak walking through Cipriani restaurant in a cutout black dress and then passing by a table where Hamilton, 38, is seated with some companions.

The “Waka Waka” chart topper and F1 champ shared a smile.

So, no they did not dine together, but still; we can dream.

Your move, Tom.
