Fast forward to 2023, when the singer turned her heartbreak into global hits like BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53, and TQG. The MTV Video Music Awards crowned her with the Video Vanguard Award, marking a monumental year for the Colombian pop icon.

This unexpected development injects an element of mystery into the upcoming festival, prompting questions about the criteria guiding the organizers’ decisions.
As excitement grows for Coachella 2024, Shakira’s absence from the headline roster only deepens the intrigue surrounding the musical lineup. Yet, the fan base, not thrilled with the speculation, has taken to social platforms to voice their discontent.
