Making an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Shakira opened up about the challenges she faced while working on her new album, attributing some of the difficulties to her ex-husband Gerard Piqué for dragging her down. She stressed the importance of women making their own decisions when it comes to healing from tough situations. Shakira revealed that she poured her raw emotions and personal experiences into the 16 tracks of the album, using music as a form of therapy to put herself back together. She described the process as transforming pain and anger into creativity and resilience, much like precious stones being polished. After ending her 11-year relationship with Spanish soccer player Gerard, whom she discovered was unfaithful, Shakira found support and strength in artists like Cardi B. She believed that Cardi’s powerful presence was needed on her album, and was thrilled when Cardi agreed to collaborate.
Gerard Pique and Shakira, who were captured together in Las Vegas back in May 2014, have officially announced their decision to part ways in June 2022.
During a recent interview, the Colombian singer, at the age of 47, revealed the reason for her seven-year break from releasing new music. This conversation took place when she was questioned by Jimmy, who is 49 years old, during a discussion.
Shakira revealed that she had difficulty releasing a complete album in the past because her husband was holding her back. However, now that she is no longer married, she feels liberated and ready to focus on her music.
Shakira appeared on the show to promote her latest album, “Las mujeres Ya No Lloran.” During her interview with Jimmy, she expressed her desire to go on tour.

In a funny moment, Jimmy jokingly attached a pogo stick to Shakira’s hips, with Drew Barrymore confirming that her hips don’t lie.
