If Gerard Pique was hoping people would now move on from his public breakup with Shakira, he must be experiencing some bitter disappointment. The pair announced the end of their 11-year relationship in June, and fans still aren't over it, especially after Shakira's hit breakup song "Bzrp Music Sessions Vol. 1." 53. The three-time Grammy winner performed the Bizarrap collaboration lively on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Friday, March 10, and it even inspired Adele to share her thoughts on the situation. .
While interacting with the audience at an Adele Weekend concert in Las Vegas on March 11, the British singer asked a fan about their favorite band or artist (besides her outside). The woman, named Shakira, got an immediate response from Adele. "I saw her on the Jimmy Fallon show last night...oh her ex-husband is in trouble!" she declared in a video shared on social media, making herself and the audience laugh.
The Spanish-language song appears to take aim at Pique and his new girlfriend, whom he allegedly met before splitting from Shakira. The singer's lyrics certainly suggest that's the case. There are multiple pointed references, not the least of which is the carefully executed pun that encompasses their names.
Speaking on "The Tonight Show," Shakira said she had a "really hard year" following their separation, which led to writing "Bzrp Music Sessions Vol. 1." 53" is "very important" to her. "It's a healthy way to channel my emotions," she explains.
The Colombian singer also talked about how well the song has been received. “It’s incredible to feel the reaction from so many people,” she said. "I think people can really connect with music when it's really authentic, authentic, and comes from a real place. ... It's become an anthem for a lot of women."
She later shared clips and photos on Instagram and reflected on her Tonight Show experience. "Last night at @fallontonight with @bizarrap," she wrote. "What an incredible audience. Simply unforgettable!" It's unclear whether she knew her TV audience included the likes of Adele, and her fellow singers essentially declared themselves Team Shakira One member.
Since opening on November 18, Adele's Vegas residency has provided fans with tons of excitement. Her audience interaction often becomes personal, and she set the standard in her first performance. "I'm scared, I'm nervous, but I'm happy," she admits. "I don't know what the hell I was thinking, putting the piano ballad at the beginning of the album; hopefully over time, my nerves would go away." She has since re-performed Plum by stopping mid-show to kiss her son Gen. Sy Starling danced "Body" and even signed the bride's wedding dress.
