Shakira Reframes Her Copacabana Show With O Globo Essay on Resilience

Her column presents the tour as steady rebuilding rather than payback.

Overview

  • The singer published a first-person column in Brazil's O Globo on Tuesday, laying out why “crying is no longer enough.”
  • She recalls a sudden rupture in 2022 after her split from Gerard Piqué and her father's critical hospitalization, which forced a reset as mother, provider, and artist.
  • The essay links that pivot to her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour, which she says rejects revenge and calls for work, dignity, and care for family.
  • The piece lands days before a free May 2 show on Rio's Copacabana beach that reports suggest could draw a very large crowd.
  • Coverage also notes a worker died during stage setup in Brazil and shows conflicting figures on women-led families, with outlets citing either more than 40 million female-headed households or about 20 million single mothers.
