As for what sparked this change? She explained her break up with Gerard Piqué in 2022 inspired her next chapter.
“For a long time I put my career on hold to be next to Gerard, so he could play football,” Shakira told the Times of London newspaper in an interview posted March 16. “There was a lot of sacrifice for love.”
The pop star—who shares sons Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9, with Gerard—noted that she had to discover who she was again.
“There were so many pieces of my life that crumbled in front of my eyes and I had to rebuild myself in a way,” she continued, “picking up the bones from the floor and putting them all together. And the glue that kept it all together was music.”
In March, she released her 12th studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, which translates to, “Women No Longer Cry.”
