Time to Immediately Rewatch Shakira’s 2025 Grammys Performance

Shakira (Shakira) took the stage during the 2025 Grammys to bless us with her hips and hits (including an exclusive medley of “Ojos Así” and “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53”) and let me tell ya, I’ll be thinking about this one for a whiiiile.

Here’s a lil taste for ya:

Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran is up for Best Latin Pop album this year, alongside Funk Generation by Anitta, El Viaje by Luis Fonsi, GARCÍA by Kany García, and ORQUÍDEAS by Kali Uchis.

Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran is Shakira’s first album in seven years, and she gave the Associated Press some insight into what she’s been up to back in March.

“Well, in those seven years I’ve been raising kids, I’ve been learning a lot about myself as a mother, as a woman,” she explained. “But I’ve also been making music. It’s just that it’s been more of a sporadic thing, you know, here and there. Whenever I had a chance to put out a song, I did that. But I didn’t have the time to really put a whole body of work. This time, it was a compulsion and a need. It was really important for me to be able to express, in and through these songs, so many life experiences and to find catharsis, you know, and to be able to find the therapeutic effects of writing and see myself back in the studio.”

She went on to add, "There’s a great diversity in this album—I know it’s a conceptual album—but it didn’t happen on purpose. Nobody chooses to go through the kind of life experiences that I went through when I was writing and creating this album, you know, life gives you lemons. So what do you do? Make lemonade. So I made songs. But there is a great variety within this album. There’s pop, there’s Afrobeat, there’s reggaeton. There’s some Mexican regionals as well. Rock. But there is a common thread. And that is based off of genuine, authentic life experiences and the process of elaborating those intense emotions and feelings that I’ve been having to deal with during this past couple of years.”
