What is the name of the popstar gazelle in Zootopia?

The story behind the answer

The pop star gazelle in *Zootopia* is Gazelle.

Gazelle is Zootopia’s most prominent pop star and a public cultural figure in the city. She performs with her tiger backup dancers and has a large fan base, including Benjamin Clawhauser, the police department’s enthusiastic receptionist. Her music and celebrity status help show that Zootopia is a modern city with its own entertainment industry.

Gazelle becomes especially important near the end of the film. After the crisis involving the night howlers is resolved, she performs at a major concert while animals across the city celebrate. Her song “Try Everything,” performed by Shakira, became closely associated with the movie and its optimistic message about persistence.

Gazelle is a character name, not a personal name revealed to be different in the story. That makes the stored answer more precise than choices such as “Antelope” or “Deer”: those describe related animals, while Gazelle is the pop star’s canonical name. Shakira also voices the character.
