Here's Why Shakira Won't Be Returning to 'The Voice' As A Judge

Shakira might make a return to American television, but it won't be for a permanent fixture any longer. Although she won't be returning as a judge to "The Voice," she is open to the possibility of a guest performance.

"Maybe to perform," Shakira told Marc Malkin of E! News at the "Zootopia" premiere last week. Shakira confessed that she does miss spending time with her fellow coaches - Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Usher - but resigned from the show because her "life had to move on."

"I had to do other things," the "Beautiful Liar" crooner explained. "I had to take care of my baby. I got pregnant again. I've been operating among pacifiers and bottles and diapers and now I'm ready to make new music again. I'm really hungry and thirsty for it."

According to Fox News Latino, the "Hips Don't Lie" songstress revealed the same thing to Spanish newspaper El Pais a few weeks prior. Unfortunately, Shakira seems to be keeping the details of her new album under wraps.

"I love for music and in some way music lives in me," she told the newspaper. "I am made of this and for this. My every fiber. If I don't sing and dance, I suffocate."

It seems as though Shakira's involvement with "Zootopia" is also paving the way for her new music. Not only did the "Waka Waka" singer lend her voice for Gazelle, but she lent some of her trademark assets too.

"There's a lot of aspects of her anatomy that needed to look a little more like me so that's when I suggested to them to give her a little more meat, because she was a bit too skinny," the Colombian native said. "She was too fit. She needed to be curvier."

Aside from acting, Shakira also recorded an original song, entitled "Try Everything," for "Zootopia," set to hit theatres on Friday, March 4.
