Shakira, on New Year, penned a cryptic message on social media, taking an apparent dig at her ex-boyfriend Gerard Pique. The singer, in her message, spoke about healing after betrayal. 

Her note read, "Even if our wounds are still open in this new year, time has surgeon's hands. Even if someone has betrayed us, we must continue to trust others. When faced with contempt, continue to know your worth. Because there are more good people than indecent ones. More people with empathy than indifference."
