Shakira is back, and gracing the cover of Rolling Stone magazine is just the beginning.

The Colombian songstress is radiating confidence and looking phenomenal in the photos, but it’s what she says inside the issue that truly resonates.

Shakira opens up about her recent split from footballer Gerard Piqué, describing it as a journey of rediscovery. “This has been a journey back to myself,” she reveals, “and the way there was through my music.”

The interview hints at a newfound empowerment for Shakira. She talks about “waking up a new sense of autonomy and independence.” It seems the heartbreak, though undoubtedly difficult, has unlocked a powerful version of herself.

Fans will be delighted to hear Shakira’s signature accent is back in full force. “I even regained my accent,” she laughs. Perhaps being away from Barcelona for a while allowed that little bit of Colombia to shine through even more.

One thing’s for certain: Shakira’s back with a bаng. The “swag” she’s famous for is undeniable in the photos, and her confidence is infectious. This Rolling Stone interview is a powerful reminder that breakups, while painful, can also be a catalyst for remarkable personal growth.
