Shakira's relationship with her ex-husband Gerard Piqué's family has always been the subject of speculation. Especially when it comes to her relationship with her ex-mother-in-law, Montserrat Bernabeu.
The Colombian singer has never been very reserved when it comes to expressing her feelings. Over time, it has become clear that there wasn't a strong connection between the two. This discomfort has been reflected in the references in her songs.
Shakira's song with Bizarrap hinted at the tension with Gerard Piqué's family. Through her lyrics, the singer showed the tensions that existed with some family members, making it clear how difficult it was for her to keep a good relationship.
Shakira has confirmed everything
Now, Shakira has once again reflected on her life and her evolution, addressing some aspects of her past. In a recent interview for Harper’s Bazaar, the singer revealed details about how her hair has been an essential part of her identity.
"My dark hair... At that time, it represented innocence. But then I got into rock and I became a bit more gothic, and I wore an earring here, a cross, and no earring on the other side," Shakira recounted.
"I dressed in black, with my hair also black, and I looked a bit like Morticia Addams," she added, laughing. With these words, the Barranquilla native has shown how her image has adapted over the years.
Despite the changes she has experienced in her style and her life, Shakira is clear that certain aspects are essential for her. In the interview, she commented that although she has experienced many changes in her hair, she has no regrets about any of them.

However, she made it clear that she will never cut her hair too short again, since she had a traumatic experience with a radical change. Since then, her long hair has been an essential part of her identity.
"Hair is definitely an important part of my identity. Once, someone with very bad intentions told me to cut my hair, so I went and cut it, and I immediately thought: 'What did I do?'" she confessed.
"I thought: 'Oh, my power is gone. My identity is gone.' I would never wear short hair again; it's not for me," Shakira added, explaining how that experience left her with a personal lesson.
The most revealing thing about all this is that the person who suggested that change was Gerard Piqué's mother. "It was my ex-mother-in-law who gave me that advice." This way, Shakira makes it clear that this intervention marked a point of no return in her relationship with Montserrat.
The tension between Shakira and Piqué's mother isn't a new topic. The singer had already expressed in her songs the discomfort she felt during her relationship with the footballer's family. However, the Colombian singer has decided to move on and focus on her career and well-being.
