Shakira Shares The Surprise Reason She Isn't A Fan Of 'Barbie' Movie

The Colombian pop singer is sounding off with a less-than-glowing take on Greta Gerwig’s acclaimed film.
Shakira would’ve liked to see a bit more “Kenergy” in the 2023 blockbuster “Barbie.”
In an interview with Allure published Monday, the Colombian pop singer shared her less-than-glowing take on Greta Gerwig’s acclaimed movie, which starred Margot Robbie in the title role.
“My sons absolutely hated it. They felt that it was emasculating,” she said, referring to sons Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9, whom she shares with her ex-boyfriend, Gerard Piqué. “And I agree, to a certain extent.”
The three-time Grammy winner said she wanted her sons “to feel powerful too [while] respecting women,” something she felt “Barbie” didn’t adequately portray.
“I like pop culture when it attempts to empower women without robbing men of their possibility to be men, to also protect and provide,” she said.
