Even when soaring high, Shakira does not forget the actions of Gerard Pique. Recently, the Colombian superstar received the 2023 Latin Grammy Award in the Song of the Year category for Music Sessions Vol. 53. The 46-year-old turned a lot of heads towards her as she graced the occasion in a black and gold two-piece set with her two sons, Milan and Sasha. Music Session, Vol. 53, was a controversial song because of its sharp lyrics against her ex-boyfriend and father of her kids, Pique. Consequently, while receiving the award, the ‘Waka Waka’ singer didn’t forget to throw shade at the former Spanish footballer.
When Shakira broke up with Pique after staying together for eleven long years, she was emotionally drained. However, in those dark times, music became her strongest weapon to fire back at those who wounded her. The Barranquilla native is now reaping the benefits of producing back-to-back hits. Nonetheless, even while receiving one of the most prestigious awards, Shakira hinted at the horrifying experiences of her past. Let’s find out what Shakira said while receiving the award.
