Over 100 million people tuned in to watch the 2020 Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. Whether your favorite part of the Super Bowl was watching the ads, the halftime show or even the football itself, this year’s halftime show gained quite a bit of attention. Jennifer Lopez and Shakira dominated the stage and wowed us all with much needed girl power. Whether you’re a fan of the two superstars or not, you have to admit that these ladies know how to entertain.
Then Jennifer Lopez came out and rocked our world. She made quite the entrance while singing “Jenny from the Block,”. She’s no stranger to performing. Just like Shakira, JLo danced and sang while never skipping a beat like the true queen she is. The talent is just unreal! Later in her performance, a choir of young girls came out to sing and guess who was leading the choir? None other than Jennifer Lopez’s own daughter, Emme. She not only stole the show, but our hearts. Talent definitely runs in this family!
Many loved their performances while others did not. Some did not agree with their outfits or dancing calling it provocative. There were viewers who even criticized their performance because there wasn’t a tribute to Kobe Bryant who tragically died in a helicopter crash a few days earlier on January 26, 2020. Looking past all of the disapproval, these women made history. This is something that cannot be denied as Shakira and Jennifer Lopez are the first Latina women to share the stage at the Super Bowl halftime show. I think this accomplishment should be celebrated because these women sent a message about the importance of culture and diversity, which struck a chord for many.
