Shakira's Emotional Tribute to Her 94-Year-Old Father Deeply Moves Audiences and Online Personalities

Mexico City Global music icon Shakira recently moved audiences at her concert in Mexico with a deeply personal dedication to her 94-year-old father. Dressed in a striking red mariachi-inspired outfit, the singer paused her performance to address her father, whom she affectionately called "my warrior." "This song... I know my dad really liked it," Shakira shared with the crowd, her voice tinged with emotion. "And he would be very proud to hear me sing it today, especially today, on his birthday. My daddy, 94 years old. He is a warrior. He has survived everything, and he has taught me everything." The heartfelt moment resonated widely, with one prominent TikTok creator, JaviHoyos, sharing his own poignant connection to Shakira's words. In a video posted on his platform, JaviHoyos explained his understanding of Shakira's use of the past tense when speaking of her father, despite him being alive. "I speak of my mom in the past tense because my mom has Alzheimer's," JaviHoyos revealed. "It's true that it causes me in many occasions to speak of her in the past because there are things I can no longer enjoy with her." He elaborated on the gradual loss experienced when a parent battles a progressive illness, stating, "You lose them little by little. You go through a mourning little by little. You accept it, but there comes a moment when, without wanting to, you speak of them in the past, even if they are still here in the present." The creator expressed profound empathy for Shakira, noting, "That's why these words from Shakira have touched me so deeply, and I'm sure many of you as well." The raw emotion shared by both Shakira and JaviHoyos highlights the universal experience of navigating a parent's aging and illness.
