Shakira seemingly took a page from Taylor Swift’s playbook, delivering a subtle yet sharp jab at her ex-partner Gerard Piqué’s new girlfriend, Clara Chia Marti. The Colombian pop star, known for her eloquent yet pointed lyrics, appeared to channel Swift’s signature style of using her music to address personal experiences with a touch of shade.

In a recent social media post, Shakira echoed Swift’s empowering energy while addressing the emotional fallout from her split with Piqué. Though she didn’t mention Clara Chia Marti directly, her comments carried an unmistakable tone, hinting at lingering feelings over the public nature of Piqué’s new relationship.

“Women don’t cry, they cash in,” Shakira quipped, referencing her ability to rise above the drama and turn her pain into power—much like Swift has famously done throughout her career.

Fans were quick to draw parallels between Shakira and Swift, applauding both women for their resilience and for embracing their strength through music and personal growth. The perceived shade at Clara Chia Marti only added more fuel to the ongoing saga between Shakira, Piqué, and his new girlfriend, with Shakira’s fans rallying behind her empowering message.

The comment continues Shakira’s trend of using her platform to subtly address the aftermath of her split, as she focuses on moving forward and thriving, all while throwing a little shade along the way.
