Shakira kicked off her new tour by reveling in the crowd singing “f--- yourself” to her ex-husband. The superstar and Gerard Pique, a soccer legend who played for Manchester United and Barcelona, separated in June 2022 after 11 years of marriage amid rumors he cheated on her. And her fans haven’t forgotten the acrimonious end to their union, as they sang “Hey, Pique, go f--- yourself,” on the opening night of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Word Tour in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. When the chants began, the 48-year-old cupped her ear and flashed a knowing glance toward the crowd. Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran is Shakira’s big breakup album, and fires pointed shots at Pique. It comes after Shakira spoke about a difficult period. “I’ve grown a lot,” she said at the Grammys on Feb. 2. “I’ve learned a lot of lessons. Life hasn’t always been kind, but it’s been a good teacher. The she-wolf is still here.”
