Shakira once again showcased that her hips don’t lie as she took the stage by storm for a surprise performance in Times Square earlier this week.
The talented 47-year-old singer showcased her impressive vocal talents as she passionately performed her latest track, Punteria, captivating the audience with her electrifying performance.
In her latest performance, Shakira confidently showcased her dance skills, gracefully flaunting her curvaceous figure to the audience. Sporting a sleek black tank top and matching trousers with dazzling metallic accents, she added a touch of glamour to her outfit. Along with her signature makeup, the singer accessorized with an intricate necklace, adding to her captivating stage presence.
In addition to her electrifying dance numbers, Shakira also displayed her musical talent by occasionally playing a bedazzled guitar during the show. This high-energy concert marked a new chapter for the artist, who recently opened up about rebuilding her life following her breakup with Gerard Piqué. Despite the challenges she faced, Shakira feels rejuvenated in her career and has just released her highly anticipated 12th studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.
In an interview with The Times newspaper, Shakira described the album as a journey of transforming pain into creativity, frustration into productivity, anger into passion, and vulnerability into resilience. This latest project reflects the singer’s strength and determination to overcome adversity and channel her emotions into her artistry.
While singing Punteria, she gracefully dropped to her knees and swayed her head from left to right, causing her thick, wavy hair to cascade around her in all directions.
Shakira was dressed in a casual outfit that allowed her to seamlessly navigate the intense dance routine she delivered during her show.
She decided to go with a classic black tank top and pants, adding some metallic accents to give the ensemble a touch of Hollywood glam.
Enhancing her distinct features with cosmetics, the Whenever, Wherever singer added a touch of glamour by pairing it with a stunning necklace.
In between energetically performing dance routines, Shakira would sometimes take a moment to play a sparkly guitar and sing along.
Following her separation from Gerard Piqué, she openly talked about ‘reconstructing’ her life before her exciting new concert took place.
She has characterized her latest album as the process of turning pain into art, frustration into work, anger into inspiration, and vulnerability into strength.
During a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Shakira opened up about the challenges of balancing her personal and professional life.
“I had to rebuild myself after so many pieces of my life fell apart right in front of me,” Shakira shared. “It felt like picking up bones from the floor and putting them back together. Music was the glue that held it all together.”
Describing music as “very feminine and beautiful,” Shakira also highlighted its role in empowering women. She explained, “Music has an interesting story that serves as an analogy to women’s empowerment.”
Reflecting on her relationship with Gerard Piqué, Shakira revealed, “I made sacrifices for love by putting my career on hold for a while to support Gerard in his football career.” The couple first met in 2010 on the set of Shakira’s music video for “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).”
The music sensation, aged 47, recently mentioned that she feels like her career is experiencing a revival following her much-talked-about break-up with a football star in 2022. They went public with their relationship in May 2011 and had two children together, Milan in 2013 and Sasha in 2015. The Spanish footballer and Shakira parted ways after 11 years in June 2022 when she discovered he had reportedly been unfaithful.
At 37, Gerard is now in a relationship with 25-year-old model Clara Chia Marti, who moved into the house he once shared with the singer last August. Shakira revealed that she crossed paths with Cardi B in Paris during fashion week and felt that her album needed a touch of Cardi’s powerful energy. She reached out to Cardi, who agreed to collaborate.
In a surprising turn of events, Kerry Katona’s former partner has made an unexpected appearance in Shakira’s latest music video for her recent single, “Punteria.”
