Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Will Blow Your Damn Mind

From Cosmopolitan

• Jennifer Lopez and Shakira performed at the Super Bowl halftime show.

• J.Lo’s daughter, Emme, sang a duet with her, and honestly, we are not worthy.

The Super Bowl is here, aka the day you and your friends gather round a mountain of dip to watch America’s most beloved sporting event: the halftime show. Jennifer Lopez and Shakira joined forces this year, and as expected, It. Was. Spectacular. Like, who needs football when you have the display of athleticism that is Shakira’s hips?

Anyway, if for some horrifying reason, you missed out on this legendary performance, please watch it here:

As a reminder, J.Lo and Shakira didn’t make any money for this performance because the NFL actually never pays artists for the halftime show—although it does pay for production costs, which are pretty steep. As an NFL spokesperson explained to Forbes, “We do not pay the artists. We cover expenses and production costs.” Before you flip the f*ck out at this injustice of it all, apparently, performers can expect their music sales to have a major spike thanks to the Super Bowl, so the NFL kinda views the performance as free advertising.

Either way, J.Lo was super pumped about performing, saying in a press release, “Ever since I saw Diana Ross fly off into the sky at the halftime show, I dreamed of performing at the Super Bowl. And now, it’s made even more special not only because it’s the NFL’s 100th anniversary but also because I am performing with a fellow Latina. I can’t wait to show what us girls can do on the world’s biggest stage.”
