It’s also been stabilized, denoised, cleaned and deblurred, and colorized. If that’s the Portal of the Folded Wings Shrine to Aviation in the background (which it is),

This is a vintage video of truth-telling hip owner Shakira seeing a camera phone for the first time while on tour in Japan circa 2000. She says she’s thankful that the Japan-only phone model won’t work in America because otherwise the paparazzi would be going nuts. Little did she know
