Hips Don’t Lie singer hinted at ‘difficult moments’ during speech

SHAKIRA took a swipe at her ex Gerard Pique as she scooped three awards at the Latin Grammy Awards.

The Colombian singer, 46 – who was up for seven awards – wowed on the red carpet in Spain as she posed in a racy emerald green chainmail gown with daring cutouts.

The Hips Don’t Lie singer made several outfit changes over the night – wearing a stunning black and gold corset dress, a sparkly gold floor-length gown and a racy patterned bodysuit.

Shakira’s seven nominations include Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Pop Song for her hit Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53 with producer Bizarrap.

She scooped Song Of The Year and was seen sweetly high-fiving her son Sasha, seven, after accepting the accolade.

Her nine-year-old son Milan was also at the ceremony – with the boys sporting matching cream satin jackets and shorts in the front row.

They both congratulated their mum with a sweet kiss on the cheek.

Shakira and her collaborator Bizarrap were also named this year’s Best Pop Song and Best Urban Interpretation winners.

The award was presented to them by Pique’s former Spain teammate, football star Sergio Ramos.

As she went up on stage, Shakira thanked fans for their support during “difficult moments” in an apparent dig at the father of her two kids.

Shakira and Pique split last summer as the Spanish World Cup winner ditched her for Clara Chia Marti, 23.

The famous pair were together for 11 years and announced their split in June, before Shakira moved from Barcelona to Miami with her children.

At Thursday’s awards, Shakira said: “I also want to share this with my Spanish public.

“You have been there accompanying me through the good and the bad, in difficult moments.”

The singer changed into a skimpy bodysuit to perform Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53.

And dressed in a glittering gold Dolce & Gabbana dress with matching gold mic, she also sang Acróstico, a song dedicated to her kids.

Several of Shakira’s most recent singles appear to be swipes aimed at her ex, including The Boss.

The song is named after the alleged nickname given to her by Pique’s friends after she failed to hang out with them or bond with them during the pair’s relationship.

The music video for the track also features the nanny her ex allegedly fired without pay.

Another one of her singles talks about wanting more in a relationship that feels like drinking out of an empty cup.

And her music video for the single Copa Vacia features Shakira as a siren, where she “returns to the sea because it’s her destiny”.

Opening up about her life before the split, Shakira said her career struggled during the family’s ten years in Barcelona.

Now in Miami, the star said it is easier for her to travel to Los Angeles or elsewhere in the US, and have collaborators come to her.
