Why Shakira’s revenge song against Gérard Piqué became a million hit

In films and series, the betrayed and abandoned woman is often portrayed as a victim: from now on she spends everyday life without her previous center of life – the man – stuffing ice cream and chocolate into herself and crying “Dirty Dancing” while watching the Man blocked on all social networks.

Should happen. But it often looks different. Thankfully, most women are no longer dependent on a man and actually thrive after a breakup. They pay more attention to themselves, travel around the world or treat themselves to a lot of good things.

And then there are those women who turn pain into something productive, like art or a revenge song – and make millions doing it.
