ALBAWABA - The Colombian superstar was not a fan of Greta Gerwig's style of feminism in the Oscar-winning film, as she explains in her latest interview.


In an Allure article and cover story, the Colombian pop artist, whose new album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women No Longer Cry) deals with regaining empowerment after being brought down by divorce tragedy, was asked about the Oscar-winning film "Barbie."

From its movie theatre debut in 2023 to the award show circuit, the Oscar-nominated "Barbie" evoked strong emotions in fans and critics. However, Colombian artist Shakira was among many with whom the film failed to resonate.

The "Hips Don't Lie" singer explained that she wants her sons to "feel powerful too" while also "respecting women." "My sons really hated it. They felt it was emasculating. And I agree, to some extent. I'm raising two boys. I want them to feel powerful while respecting women. I enjoy pop culture that seeks to elevate women without depriving men of their ability to be men, to defend and provide," referring to her sons Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9, whom she has with ex Gerard Piqué.
