Shakira’s heart was broken, but she ended up cashing in on a new era.
For years, the singer built a life in Spain alongside Gerard Piqué and their two children. They were together for almost 12 years, until the relationship ended in 2022 and began a personal chapter that she herself has described as deeply painful.
But just a few months later, Shakira began transforming all of that into music. The Bzrp Music Sessions Vol. 53 broke records, turned “Women no longer cry, women cash in” into a worldwide phrase, and paved the way for an album and a tour that ended up marking one of the most successful moments of her career.
Since then, her story has stopped revolving solely around the breakup. Millions of people reconnected with her songs, she filled stadiums, and she turned a chapter that seemed like the end of one life into the beginning of another completely different one.
Shakira lost the life she had built over the years, but ended up finding a version of herself that put her back on top.
