Shakira made a striking appearance at the Seminole Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida to celebrate the highly-anticipated release of her album titled ‘Las mujeres Ya No Lloran’ or ‘Women Don’t Cry Anymore’. The Colombian singer, aged 47, turned heads in a black mini dress with silver sparkly star and swirl patterns that beautifully accentuated her figure. This album, her 12th, has been dubbed her ‘revenge album’ due to the lyrics that seemed to take a dig at her ex, Gerard Piqué, and his current girlfriend. Despite some controversy surrounding the lyrics, Shakira stood firm in her decision not to alter her songs, stating that she has the right to express her emotions through her music.

Last Friday, the 47-year-old Colombian singer finally released her highly anticipated 12th album titled “Las mujeres Ya No Lloran,” which translates to “Women Are Not Crying Anymore.”
Known as her ‘revenge album’, fans were excited when she subtly called out her ex Gerard Pique and his girlfriend Clara Chia Marti in the lyrics of her latest song. Shakira and Gerard, 37, ended their 11-year relationship in June 2022, following rumors of infidelity on his part. They have two sons, Milan, 11, and Sasha, nine, together. In her collaboration track with Argentine DJ Bizarrop titled Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53, she croons the lines, ‘I’m too big for you’, which seems to reference Gerard and Clara’s relationship. There were reports last August that Clara had moved into the same Barcelona home Shakira once shared with Gerard. The media even detailed Shakira’s memories of the house, such as arriving pregnant and leaving the hospital. Shakira learned about Gerard’s affair when she found a jar of strawberry jam empty upon her return. In one of her songs, she sings, ‘This is my way to hurt you, digest it so it doesn’t hurt, I won’t come back even if you cry and beg me. I realized it’s not my fault if they criticize you, I make music for myself, sorry if it hits you.’
Shakira and Gerard recently went their separate ways in June 2022 after being a couple for 11 years. The split was reportedly due to Gerard’s infidelity. The two have two sons, Milan who is 11 and Sasha who is nine, and were pictured together in 2014.
In the latest collaboration between Shakira and DJ Bizarre titled “Shakira: Bzp Music Sessions, Vol. 53”, the song includes a line where she confidently asserts, “I’m too much for you.” This lyric appears to suggest personal emotions towards her former partner and his current relationships.
The singer stood out in a chic black mini dress adorned with a shimmering silver star and swirl design, accentuating her stunning silhouette in the short ensemble.

Shakira was in the spotlight with numerous interviews during the launch party for her latest album. The album kicks off with an energetic pop collaboration with Cardi B in a song titled “Puntería.” The music video for this track, featuring Lucien Laviscourt, was released alongside the album. Throughout the album, Shakira seems to allude to her past relationship with Gerard, referring to a necessary split in the song “Monotonía.” The song, which translates to “monotony,” addresses the end of a relationship due to routine and lack of emotion. Shakira sings about feeling hurt and realizing the relationship was over before it officially ended. The music video shows her walking sadly through a supermarket before being dramatically shot in the chest by a mysterious man.
The singer confidently sings, “I’m too much for you, that’s why you’re with someone who matches your energy,” suggesting a connection to Gerard’s love life.

After enduring a year of pain and heartache following her breakup, fans eagerly took to social media to express their excitement over the release of Shakira’s new album. Entitled “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran”, the album symbolizes Shakira’s ability to turn challenging experiences into valuable moments of strength.

That’s what we call a comeback!”; “You’ve done it again queen, I love the album.” Featuring 16 tracks, including new songs, a remix, and previously released hits, the album has already amassed an impressive 3.7 billion plays on Spotify. Alongside the album launch, Shakira also unveiled the fantastic music video for her infectious new pop track “Puntaje” featuring Cardi B. Describing the album as a journey of transformation, Shakira shared, “It’s the transformation of pain into creativity, frustration into productivity, anger into passion, vulnerability into resilience.” She credits music as the glue that held her together during challenging times. In a first for the star, the album will be released on vinyl with four unique artwork editions, each paired with an exclusive colored vinyl variant. Fans can find different editions through various retailers, such as Amazon, Target, and Shakira’s official website.
