Sunday, February second, the 54th Superbowl was played at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. And the highly anticipated half time show, featuring two of the biggest names in Latin music,Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, had the entire country dancing.
J.Lo, suspended horizontally high above the ground, legs wrapped around a pole center stage, only one hand grabbing on for support. Add that to Shakira’s rousing Latin dance moves.
The show also featured appearances by J Balvin and Bad Bunny, and an impressive performance by J.Lo’s 11-year old daughter Emme on “Let’s Get Loud”, with the performance ending with Emme singing alongside her American/Puerto Rican flag-draped mom. From fans and critics alike, you’ve got a halftime show that majorly broke ranks from previous years.
For the first time in history, every act on the stage was Latin. This was a momentous statement that underscores a unique moment in this nation’s history, one filled with divisiveness that this show sought to mend, but also, one full of diversity like never before.
