Shakira’s Film Journey: Shakira is planning to release a documentary about her life and career in the film industry. The announcement comes amidst controversy surrounding her partner Gerard Pique’s likely involvement in a tax fraud scandal.
Following the news of the pop star’s upcoming documentary, several journalists shared their opinions with Laura Fa, who said,
“I think it will be about the drama she’s gone through and it will be called, ‘The cheating and me.’ It will be the [diss] song in documentary form.”
Lorena Vasquez another journalist stated, “It’s clear Shakira is recording graphic material for an audiovisual project, a documentary, or a documentary-style reality.”
“It seems nowadays like if you’re a famous person and you haven’t got your own documentary-style reality, you’re nobody,” she continued.
According to the Daily Mail, Shakira was spotted with a cameraman at court last week as she went there for her tax fraud trial. It was also reported that she filmed her lawyer, Pau Molins, as they had a conversation while entering the court.
Before this Shakira also criticized Spanish authorities for going after “high-profile individuals” when accused of financial fraud.
The singer claimed that she was innocent, but that she had decided to avoid a three-year prison sentence so as to “spare my children after seeing their mother sacrifice her own well-being”.
Shakira stated, “I admire tremendously those who have fought these injustices to the end, but for me, today, winning is getting my time back for my kids and my career,”
Shakira Update (2026)
Updated August 2026. The documentary teased here amid the Gerard Pique tax-fraud fallout has not materialized as a standalone release; instead, Shakira’s recent on-camera career has centered on concert films tied to her music. She has continued her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour into 2026, running from February 2025 through an October 2026 finale, with major stops including a headlining Copacabana Beach megashow in Rio de Janeiro on May 2, 2026, and a string of U.S. dates across Los Angeles, Atlanta, Miami, and New York. She has said she plans to close out the tour with a performance in a stadium built specifically for the occasion in Spain, capping years of both personal upheaval and career reinvention since the split from Pique.
