Football Icon Sergio Ramos Presents Latin Grammy to Shakira for Song Targeting Pique"

Colombian pop sensation Shakira was honored with a Latin Grammy award, presented by former Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos, for her song featured in Bzrp Music Session, Vol 53. The track not only secured the coveted Song of the Year but also clinched the title of Best Pop Song at the prestigious awards ceremony held in Seville, celebrating exceptional contributions to the Latin music industry.

Shakira's winning moment came amidst the backdrop of her past connection with former Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, with whom she shared a 12-year relationship before announcing their separation in June 2022. The pair first crossed paths during the filming of the "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" music video, the official theme song for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

In her gracious acceptance speech, Shakira dedicated the award to her two children, Milan and Sasha, born out of her union with Pique. Expressing her commitment to their well-being, she pledged, "They will have a mother who will laugh with all her laughter because they deserve it."

The singer's words seemed to carry subtle references to her past, emphasizing her focus on the future. She declared, "There is nothing in the past, only the future is remembered," possibly alluding to her evolving musical endeavors and upcoming plans.

Sergio Ramos, currently playing for Sevilla, took the stage to present the award, sparking intrigue due to his and Pique's shared history in the Spanish national team. Both players, rivals in club football representing Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively, achieved significant success, including a World Cup and European Championships.

Shakira, adorned in a dazzling gold Dolce & Gabbana dress and wielding a matching gold microphone, performed "Acróstico," a poignant song dedicated to her children. Notably, some of her recent releases, like "The Boss," hinted at underlying tensions with her ex-partner, drawing inspiration from alleged nicknames given to her during her relationship with Pique.

The singer expressed gratitude to her Spanish fans for their unwavering support during challenging times, seemingly referencing her split from Pique. She declared, "You have been there accompanying me through the good and the bad, in difficult moments."

Shakira's recent accolades and public acknowledgments are poised to further solidify her standing among fans, while Sergio Ramos is set to return to the field for Sevilla against Real Sociedad on November 26 in a La Liga fixture following the international break.
