Shakira Reveals That She Put Her 'Career On Hold' For Her Ex-Partner
Shakira's world tour announcement follows the release of her twelfth studio album, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran," which includes sixteen tracks, blending new songs with previous hits like "TQG" featuring Karol G.
The twelfth studio album also marks Shakira's return after a seven-year hiatus since 2017's "El Dorado." In a recent interview with The Times, the "Hips Don't Lie" singer reflected on her journey.
"For a long time, I put my career on hold to be next to Gerard so he could play football." She shared. "There was a lot of sacrifice for love."
The 47-year-old singer noted that her new album "represents the transformation of pain into creativity, frustration into productivity, anger into passion, vulnerability into resilience."
"There were so many pieces of my life that crumbled in front of my eyes and I had to rebuild myself in a way, picking up the bones from the floor and putting them all together. And the glue that kept it all together was music," she added.
The Singer Called Gerard Piqué 'Voldemort'
When asked during the interview if her song was connected to her ex, Gerard Piqué, Shakira quipped: "Voldemort, that one that shouldn't be mentioned? It's hopefully the last song that I will write about this and to him."
She explained, "I felt that there was still something there, stuck in my throat, and I needed to get it out."
Sharing the emotional impact of the song, she recounted, "I played it to the marketing head at Sony, and he started crying. I'd never seen a man cry in my studio before."
Shakira and Piqué parted ways in mid-2022 after over a decade together amid rumors that the athlete cheated on Shakira with his current girlfriend, Clara Chia Marti. However, nothing was ever confirmed. The former couple share two children, Milan and Sasha.
