During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, Shakira opened up about the challenges she faced while creating her new album and pointed out her ex-husband Gerard Piqué as the reason for delaying its release. She expressed a strong belief that women no longer need to suffer in silence and that it’s time for men to experience some emotional weight as well.
Shakira emphasized that, for far too long, women have been expected to hide their pain and follow a certain script of healing prescribed by society. She felt empowered to take control of her own healing process and channel her emotions into creating music. The inspiration behind the 16 tracks on her album came from a place of raw emotion and personal growth.
In the wake of her split from Gerard Piqué, Shakira focused on transforming her pain and anger into creativity and resilience. She likened her journey to that of a She-wolf licking her wounds and rebuilding herself piece by piece. The singer found strength in the metaphor of precious stones as she crafted her music.
Although her marriage to Gerard ended following allegations of infidelity, Shakira found solace in her encounter with Cardi B in Paris. The rapper’s powerful presence and strength resonated with Shakira, prompting her to collaborate on the album. Cardi’s addition added a new dimension to Shakira’s music, reflecting the evolution and empowerment she experienced during a challenging period in her life.
When Jimmy, 49, inquired about why it had been over seven years since her last album release, the Colombian singer opened up about her thoughts on the matter.
My ex-husband was the one holding me back, but now that he’s out of the picture, I feel liberated. I can finally focus on my career without any hindrance.
Shakira made an appearance on the show to promote her latest album, titled Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. When asked by Jimmy if she had plans for a tour, Shakira responded positively, expressing her desire to hit the road. She also hinted at something exciting happening in New York on Tuesday, teasing viewers to follow her on social media for more information.
During her performance on the show, Shakira, dressed in white, showcased one of the songs from her album alongside her dancers. Before the performance, Jimmy playfully attached a polygraph to Shakira’s hips, with Drew Barrymore jokingly confirming that her hips were indeed telling the truth. “Hips don’t lie,” Jimmy quipped, capturing the fun and energetic vibe of the show.
