She’s come a long way.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Shakira<\/a><\/strong> shocked the world when she had to postpone her El Dorado World Tour<\/a> due to a vocal hemorrhage. What the world saw during that time was only a fraction of the real life turmoil<\/a> the singer was going through behind the scenes. In a new interview with The Guardian<\/a><\/em>, the mom of two is opening up about what she went through and her journey back to super-stardom. <\/p>\n

“I always thought there were going to be things in my life that would go away, like beauty, youth, all of that stuff,” she told the publication. “But I never thought that my voice would leave me, because it’s so inherent to my nature. It was my identity. So when I couldn’t sing, that was unbearable. There were times I couldn’t even get out of bed\u2013I was so depressed.”<\/p>\n

Beyond being hard on her career<\/a> for obvious reasons, Shakira also explained the toll it took on her relationship with long-time partner Gerard Pique<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“He jokes that you would think you would want your wife to shut up\u2013but when I had to remain quiet, he felt like one of those ex-convicts who are given their freedom and don’t know what to do with it,” she shared. “I was not positive. I was so pessimistic. I was a bitter person to be around. Gerard saw the worst of me.”<\/p>\n

Although things looked grim and she was told she needed to have surgery, the singer stayed strong<\/a> and instead let her vocal cords heal on their own. Something most people would call a miracle<\/a>, and Shakira would call faith. Fans will get a first-hand look at the experience when a film about her El Dorado tour hits select theaters on Nov. 13. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While she’s undoubtedly one of the queen’s of pop<\/a> with no plans of stopping anytime soon, she does imagine that someday she’ll settle down for a quiet farm life. Yes, you read that right. <\/p>\n

“Like one day waking up on a farm and being able to just mow the lawn, and milk some cows,” she revealed of her plans for the future<\/a>. “One day I want to have a farm life. I don’t think I could ever be bored of being in nature. Eat all I want. Sometimes I think there’s going to be more to life than my actual life.”<\/p>\n

Until then, keep on doing you, Shakira! <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
