Shakira Says Ex Gerard Piqué Was ‘Dragging Me Down’: ‘Now I’m Free!’


Shakir said her ex Gerard Pique was "dragging me down" during an appearance on 'The Tonight Show.' Watch her interview, performance.

The three-time Grammy winner, who was on the late-night show to promote her new album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran[ Women No Longer Cry], told the comedian that the reason for the seven year gap between her latest collection and 2017’s El Dorado was her ex. “I was trying to rebuild myself and music was the glue, but it felt like it was an alchemical process in which I was transforming pain and anger and frustration into creativity and productivity and strength and resilience,” the singer-songwriter explained while discussing the alternate covers of her new album, which are themed around precious stones. Amid iridescent curtains and a pearlesque backdrop that displayed a gigantic diamond on the screen, Shak was flanked by two female dancers, and then joined by two more, who all wore matching outfits and danced in unison to the electro-pop song.
