Shakira Reveals the Major Hit She's Adding to Her U.S. Tour — and More Surprises
Sunday was Mother's Day, and Shakira had a ton to do — but first and foremost, she was spending time with her kids, Sasha and Milan, who had surprised her that morning with a picnic they'd organized. Later in the afternoon, the Colombian superstar would be diving into performance mode: The U.S. leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour kicks off in North Carolina on Monday night, making her to-do list basically endless. Speaking to Rolling Stone over the phone, Shakira shared that after the call she'd be flying straight into a fitting to try on some of the wardrobe she wears in the show — she changes into a total of 13 outfits throughout the nearly two-and-a-half-hour spectacular. Her favorite? 'I love the outfit for 'Session 53,'' she says, referring to a sheer bodysuit she wears during her hit 'Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53.' 'It's like a second skin. It looks like AI, I'm telling you. The design is so cool: It's like the fabric is tattooed on my body, and it's so comfortable.' More from Rolling Stone Shakira Reflects on 20 Years of 'Hips Don't Lie': 'It Changed My Story' Watch Shakira, Wyclef Jean Revive 'Hips Don't Lie' on 'Fallon' Shakira Roams a Desolate New York City in New 'Última' Video And then, at some point during the day, she was going to find time to rehearse 'Underneath Your Clothes,' a song she's introducing into the tour set list. 'I'm going to try to add a couple of new songs, like 'Underneath Your Clothes.' I feel like a lot of my fans are probably gonna want to hear it — it's one of my classics from Laundry Service.' She has a few other surprises up her sleeves, including bringing Alejandro Sanz onstage to perform 'La Tortura' in North Carolina, and Rauw Alejandro and Ozuna in New York (she's already said that Pitbull will be joining her MetLife show in New Jersey on May 16). 'I think it's going to be very interesting and a different kind of leg for this tour,' she says. 'I'm gonna have a lot of guests, friends of mine, colleagues that have collaborated with me in the past.' Already, Shakira crisscrossed Latin America, performing massive shows in Brazil, Peru, and Colombia. She had tons of surprise guests there also — Maluma, J Balvin, and Grupo Frontera among them. She says she wanted to bring an epic show to Latin America, and make sure her fans were getting a full experience. 'I learned that this is more than a show, this is a communion, an encounter with my most-loyal fans and also my newest fans. It's really a moment of total identification.… I didn't want to save any effort, I didn't want to save any resources to take the best show possible to Latin America, because I feel and I really truly believe that my people deserve the best.' In the U.S., fans can expect the same caliber of performance and emotion. (Shakira says the moment that gets her choked up the most is when she sings her Pies Descalzos classic 'Antología': 'It's the testament to this relationship that I have with with my audience.') There are also a few interludes and bits of new music she's written for different parts of the show, including a flamenco-style arrangement and a piece of a bolero. 'Who knows,' she says, 'maybe one of these songs is worth developing because they're not just music to fill in the gaps. These are heartfelt musical pieces that have been properly produced.' The tour has also coincided with the anniversary of some of her biggest hits. This year marks the 20th anniversary of 'La Tortura,' which is why she wanted to bring out Sanz. 'That was probably very one of the very few songs that played in Spanish in America on American radio,' she says. 'So, it's like celebrating after 20 years the road that we've traveled, and how many obstacles as artists we have overcome.''Hips Don't Lie,' her mega-smash with Wyclef Jean, also turned 20, which the two artists recently celebrated on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 'It's going to be a lot different than performing live on a real big stage, live for thousands of fans,' she says. She and Jean have kept in touch over the years, last seeing each other at the 2023 VMAs, when he presented her with the MTV VMA Vanguard Award. 'I was like, 'Damn, you look good!'' she says, laughing. 'He's just the same sweet energy and so passionate about what he does, and nothing has changed.' Most of all, as she prepares to take the stage across America, she's proud to celebrate the Latino community, particularly during a fraught political era in the U.S. and in other parts of the world. 'This has always been my mandate since I started my career: I wanted to show the world what Colombians, what Latinos are about. I wanted you to fight so much prejudice that we've had to encounter throughout the years, and this moment together is a celebration of who we are, how far we've come,' Shakira says. 'I want the show to be representative of who we are as a community, especially during these hard times.'

Michael and Willow Came Face-to-Face After Custody Shocker On May 28 General Hospital
With Michael back home in Port Charles, it was only a matter of time until he came face-to-face with his ex, and it happened after a custody shocker on the May 28, 2025 episode of General Hospital. Michael (Rory Gibson) set a plan and motion and succeeded with the help of his loved ones. He picked up Wiley (Viron Weaver) from the Nurses Ball while Jason (Steve Burton) and Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) picked up Amelia and they all met back at Carly's (Laura Wright). It was the perfect plan… until his rivals found out. READ THIS: We ranked every 2025 Nurses Ball performance on GH. When Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) arrived at the PCPD, they demanded Mac (John J. York) take action when they suggested her kids were kidnapped. But after a short and sweet visit to Carly's, Mac returned with something neither of them expected: a court order giving Michael sole custody of the kids until the court hearing next week. READ THIS: Here's what's coming up on GH. Willow realized she needed to make one last attempt to get her kids back, and when she arrived at Carly's door, it was Michael who answered. She begged him not to take her kids from her, but knowing Michael, he'll assure her all this is only fair. Meanwhile, Nina (Cynthia Watros) met with Maxie (Kirsten Storms) to vent about Willow, and when Maxie let it slip that Sasha met her baby daddy the night before Halloween, Nina started putting some pieces together. She asked the bartender if he remembered seeing Sasha there that night, and when he said yes, she showed him a photo of Jason and asked if she left with him. When he was certain that wasn't the man Sasha left with, Nina showed him a photo of Michael. What do you think Nina will do if she figures out Michael is Sasha's baby daddy? Let us know in the comments.

General Hospital May 30 Episode Spoilers: Michael's Baby Secret at Risk of Exposure in Court as Nina Stands Against Him
On Friday's General Hospital episode, tensions escalate as secrets come undone and brazen maneuvers rock Port Charles. Carly Spencer plans her dangerous scheme while Sasha is at the eye of a brewing storm of legal woes. Carly (Laura Wright) goes to Curtis with a dirty proposal, using Aurora to discredit Drew Cain's reputation in court. While Curtis cautions her that this can blow up in her face, Carly appears set on winning custody cases for Michael, even if it involves getting dirty. At the same time, Sasha is called out by Michael with a big ask. He will request that she does not reveal the truth about the father of their baby since Ric summons her to testify. Sasha is willing to keep the secret, but their scheme is already on shaky grounds. Will Nina expose Michael? Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) also knows that Michael is the actual father of the baby and might use this fact to assist Willow in court. However, Ava cautions restraint. Outing Sasha might trigger a comeback leak regarding Nina's fling with Drew. Elsewhere, Gio departs Emma after the cabin getaway, raising alarm when he vanishes without notice. His inner conflict might direct him directly to Lois, who already has a conflict with Brook Lynn regarding her reconnection efforts. Meanwhile, Alexis gives Kristina a tough dose of reality: if the probe into the crash keeps going on, she might wind up in prison. With Lucky in the mix as well, Kristina's future is on the line and getting riskier by the day.

General Hospital spoilers: Will Nina reveal Michael and Sasha's secret and change everything for Willow and Drew?
On Friday, May 30, things heat up in Port Charles as several long-running secrets stir up fresh tensions. Nina leans on Ava for guidance, while Michael opens up to Sasha. Curtis may still be holding back resentment, and Liz finds some comfort in a catch-up with Laura. Nina turns to Ava amid explosive secrets Nina (Cynthia Watros) finds herself holding onto a potentially life-altering secret. She knows the truth about her history with Drew (Cameron Mathison), and she also realizes that Michael (Rory Gibson) and Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) had a drunken night that led to Sasha's pregnancy. The implications could be huge—not only for Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) but also for custody issues moving forward. Caught between exposing the truth or keeping quiet, Nina seeks advice from Ava (Maura West). Ava, always sharp and strategic, might have some critical guidance. Will this conversation happen in court? And will Ava push Nina toward revenge, or resolution? Gio doesn't know how to make sense of everything that's been thrown at him tonight, West Coast. Who can he believe, if anyone?An all-new #GH starts RIGHT NOW on ABC! @giovanniviolin Michael faces Sasha with a sensitive request Michael has already told Sasha he's willing to step back from the child if that's what she wants. But deep down, it's clear he's not at peace with that decision. Now, he approaches Sasha again—this time with a specific request. Whether it's about their child or Sasha testifying in court remains unclear, but the emotional weight behind it could change everything. Curtis reconsiders, while Laura offers Liz support Elsewhere, Curtis (Donnell Turner) is still dealing with the aftermath of discovering Portia's (Brook Kerr) and Drew's manipulations during the Nurses' Ball. Though he and Portia kept up appearances that night, he's clearly not over it. His unease could also involve Drew, hinting at some unresolved tension between old friends. Meanwhile, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Kristina (Kate Mansi) meet with Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) to work out a plan—perhaps to gain the upper hand against Ric and Ava. The family dynamic here is getting complex, and Alexis seems ready to take action rather than let Kristina make further mistakes. Amid all this, Liz (Rebecca Herbst) continues her recovery and reconnects with Laura (Genie Francis). With Laura under pressure from political rivals like Sidwell and Councilman Boyle, and Liz navigating her own struggles, their conversation may provide mutual relief and insight. In Port Charles, everyone's juggling secrets, pressure, and choices—each one edging closer to a breaking point.

Adults Who Display These Character Traits May Have Been The "Loser Sibling" In Their Childhood — Here's What That Means
Sibling relationships are complicated, and I'm not just referring to the incestuous overtones in Season 3 of The White Lotus. Sometimes, one sibling can be overshadowed by their more outgoing or successful siblings, making them feel lacking. Sasha from the Netflix series Nobody Wants This implies this when referring to himself and a friend as the 'loser siblings' of their families. Having a sibling can feel like a zero-sum game of winners and losers. And though it might seem harmless to joke about being a 'loser sibling,' there are consequences that come along with internalizing this label. 'Childhood labels and favoritism have a huge impact on identity development and how adults continue to see themselves in the world,' said Charlynn Ruan, a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of Thrive Psychology Group. Below, experts discuss traits that adults are likely to develop if they grew up as the 'loser sibling' and how they can move past this label. 1. Low self-esteem People who feel invalidated by their families tend to have poor self-esteem. 'Even though they likely have many positive personality traits and talents, they may see themselves as inferior to their sibling,' said Natalie Moore, a holistic therapist specializing in people pleasers and women navigating anxiety and trauma. Inside jokes like calling another sibling the golden child 'are often a cover for something that is painfully true and harmful,' Ruan said. If one sibling is consistently favored by their parents or peers, the others might think they're flawed or unworthy of praise and affection. Instead of thinking, 'I may not be smart or athletic, but I'm capable of other things,' the 'loser sibling' might have an all-or-nothing mindset where they tell themselves, 'I am bad' or 'I'm worthless.' 2. People pleasing If they didn't feel special or important to their parents or caregivers, they may expect to be treated the same way by friends, bosses, or romantic partners. Since they fear rejection, they might be afraid to show initiative in choosing friends or partners who are good to them. 'They will often work overtime to try to please someone to get their approval and might not consider their feelings and needs because they were invalidated as a child,' explained Ruan. People pleasers also struggle with a lack of boundaries. Rather than displaying healthy vulnerability by gradually opening up to someone, they might go on a first date and share every horrible thing that's ever happened to them, she added. 3. Feeling shame When conflict arises, families tend to blame the so-called 'loser sibling' or pit them against other relatives. For example, a parent might project negative feelings onto a child who reminds them of their own flaws or those of an ex-partner. Because the child doesn't know why they're being treated unfairly, they tend to feel ashamed or inadequate. Nothing they do will ever be good enough. 'These siblings often become the scapegoat or, in other words, the person in a family who is unconsciously assigned the role of expressing the symptoms of the family system,' Moore said. The scapegoated individual is often seen as a disappointment, so the rest of the family can uphold their image of happiness or success. According to research, in dysfunctional families, parents may transfer unresolved tensions in their relationship onto their relationship with their child. 'Becoming the identified patient or scapegoat can manifest as substance abuse or mental health issues such as anxiety or depression.' 4. Overcompensating Because they feel inferior to their siblings, 'loser siblings' often develop traits such as humor, creativity, or likability to compensate for their perceived failings, Moore said. 'These traits can appear positive from the outside, but often cause the individual internal suffering as they stem from a lack of self-worth versus a true expression of their personality,' she added. Another way they tend to overcompensate is by being a high achiever. 'However, even if they become high achievers, they may still experience impostor syndrome or resentment for being labeled the 'loser sibling,'' said Patrice Le Goy, an international psychologist and licensed marriage and family therapist. 'Or they may become extremely hard on themselves and have difficulty celebrating their accomplishments or giving themselves grace.' 5. Avoiding competition Children who grow up in the shadow of their siblings' accomplishments may avoid pursuing their dreams as adults. They might talk themselves out of applying for a coveted job or asking for a raise. Marathon running in the light of evening 'If the 'loser' label extended to many or all areas of their identity, they might avoid striving for something they could lose or putting themselves in a position where they could be rejected or publicly exposed as a loser,' Ruan said. 6. Self-sabotaging The 'loser sibling' label can also become a self-fulfilling prophecy. That's because 'people tend to create an external world that matches their internal identity and seek out experiences that confirm their beliefs,' Ruan said. They might subconsciously sabotage their chances of success because they're accustomed to failing, and it gives them a sense of control over their fate. Le Goy agreed, saying that if your parents, teachers, or coaches compared you unfavorably to your siblings, you may not live up to your full potential because you think you'll never measure up in their eyes. In other words, you can't be disappointed if you don't try in the first place. 7. Sabotaging relationships In addition to thwarting their success, 'loser siblings' tend to sabotage their relationships. 'Since their self-worth is so low, when someone does choose them as an adult, it makes them feel anxious and uncomfortable,' Ruan said. For example, they might cheat on their wonderful partner with someone who is less socially desirable because that's what they feel they deserve. In addition, they might think that if their partner really got to know them as a person, they would reject them or leave the relationship. 'So, they'll hide parts of themselves or cheat on their partner with someone they subconsciously feel is closer to their self-perceived level of value,' Ruan said. 8. Engaging in social comparison The comparisons don't stop at their sibling relationships. 'When they engage in upward comparison by comparing themselves to people they consider more successful, they often feel dejected,' Moore said. Conversely, they gain momentary relief from engaging in downward comparison. But this sense of self-satisfaction is short-lived because nothing they do will ever measure up to their sibling. How to overcome the 'loser sibling' identity. The first step toward healing is to acknowledge that these dynamics are occurring. 'The individual needs to see that they are not a loser but rather have taken on a role in an unhealthy family system,' Moore said. It may take an outside party such as a friend or therapist to point out the unfair treatment of siblings. 'Remember it took decades to build those negative belief systems, so it will take time to change them,' Ruan said. She recommended reading self-help books, joining a support group, or working with a therapist who is familiar with these issues and can help you reframe negative beliefs. Once you recognize these unhealthy patterns, it's important to seek out environments where you feel valued and avoid situations that mirror your childhood. Take time to reflect on your strengths and what matters to you. Write down your definition of success, not what your family defined as success, Moore said. Ultimately, the goal is to 'embark on a journey of living in alignment with the values you've outlined and your personalized definition of success,' she added. Consider that some family members may resist or sabotage your efforts to heal. 'They may not like that you are changing the status quo because it serves them in some way,' Ruan said. 'The golden child may also face criticism and backlash from parents who once praised them.' So, until you feel confident in your new beliefs and habits, you may need to limit the time you spend with family. Lastly, it's common for people who think of themselves as 'loser siblings' to spend a significant portion of their lives trying to gain their family's love and acceptance. 'Whether your skills and talents were valued by your family or not, as an adult, you have agency to decide that you value them and that the label of being a 'loser sibling' is not one you need to accept,' Le Goy said.
