“I’m very inspired, I’m eager. I don’t know what’s come over me... There have been times when I had to be practically carried into the studio, dragged in. Sometimes, you have conflicts with your work, it happens to everyone. But right now, I’m on a honeymoon with making music and with my career. I’m in love with what I do,” she confessed.

In a recent revelation, Shakira mentioned that music has been her savior, as it has helped her express herself better. She even described songwriting as a form of catharsis. “It has always played a therapeutic role, and I tend to write the most when things are tough. Life throws me a curveball, and I’ve learned much from it, making me feel stronger. I never thought I had so much inner strength to overcome certain stages in life. It turns out I was less fragile than I thought. My music has been my primary tool for survival,” she asserted.

The artist from Barranquilla has set new records with the songs she released after her separation from former soccer player Gerard Piqué. In particular, her collaboration with Argentine DJ Bizarrap in January reached the top of global charts and broke four Guinness World Records.

“With that song, they told me, ‘Change the lyrics, that can’t be released...’ and I replied that I’m not a diplomat from the United Nations. I’m a woman, a wounded wolf,” she declared, prompting a wave of applause from the audience. She added, “I’ve been surprised by the ability to make lemonade out of the sourest lemons,” referring to the challenging months she endured after her split from the father of her children.

“Thanks for all the love and support! Four Billboard number ones, one on the Global Top 200, four platinum records in the United States, and two Copa Vacía in the United States. Grateful always,” she shared on her social media, proudly displaying her new trophies.
