In the near future, a fortunate admirer will have the opportunity to ride in the same manner as Shakira.
Shakira announced on Wednesday, November 20, that she would be awarding her customized purple vehicle, which is of great significance to her, to a devotee in honor of her most recent single, “Soltera” (Spanish for single).
The contest, which is in partnership with Univision, is also a gesture of gratitude from the 47-year-old Colombian icon in response to the overwhelming love and support she has received.
“This car was a gift to myself as I began my single life, but I realized that what truly matters is human connection,” Shakira stated in a press release, alluding to her separation from her ex-partner, Gerard Piqué.
The singer of “Hips Don’t Lie” additionally stated, “The car, the clothes, the material things—they do not transform us.” The individuals we cherish and the relationships we establish are the ones that truly have an impact.
By November 29, supporters must submit a performance to “Soltera” on Instagram and TikTok with the hashtag #ElCarroDeShakira in order to participate in the contest. The five finalists will be selected by Shakira, and the public will vote for the victor on December 5. Dec. 6 will mark the announcement of the victor on Despierta América.
Entrants must be at least 18 years of age to participate. For additional details regarding the contest, please visit elcarrodeshakira.com.
Shakira’s “Soltera” was published on September 25, and it has already reached the Global Top 50 on Spotify. In the interim, her album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women Don’t Cry Anymore) was recently nominated for the Grammy Award for best Latin Pop Album.
In a cover story interview with GQ Spain in October, the singer-songwriter, who is set to commence her world tour in May 2025, contemplated the influence of her seventh studio album on her recovery journey.
“For many months after my separation I had been silent, trying to begin my mourning, but I couldn’t really begin to grieve until I started writing music,” she pointed out. “It was my method of recuperation.” And it remains so. Grief is a nonlinear process. It is characterized by a variety of summits and valleys.
Her perspective on love was also altered by the breakup: “It is not the same.” I was disappointed by the affection of my companion. It had an impact on my quirky nature. For the time being, it is inevitable that I have lost faith in the other party.
Nevertheless, she jokingly asserts that the erosion of trust provides exceptional new material. “The recuperation process is prolonged.” I will require several albums to accomplish this task. The outlet was informed by Shakira.
Shakira and Piqué were in a relationship for 11 years prior to their highly publicized separation in 2022. The former soccer player began dating Clara Chia Marti one year after infidelity allegations surfaced.
