Shakira used her Grammy win as a platform to address a pressing issue in the U.S. during her acceptance speech. After receiving the award, she focused on the struggles of immigrants, particularly those at risk of deportation under President Trump’s policies.
On March 22, 2024, Shakira released her 12th studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, marking her first studio album in seven years. The album includes new tracks, remixes, and hit singles, including collaborations with Bizarrap and Karol G.
The album has been a huge success, with 3.7 billion Spotify streams to date. Shakira described the creative process as “alchemical,” turning her vulnerability into strength through songwriting.
After winning the Grammy, Shakira thanked her sons in her speech and dedicated the award to immigrants in the U.S., expressing her unwavering support for them. She was presented the award by Jennifer Lopez in their first joint appearance since the 2020 Super Bowl performance.
