The NFL, Pepsi, and Roc Nation announced Jennifer Lopez and Shakira are confirmed to perform at halftime during the 2020 Super Bowl. Super Bowl LIV will take place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on Sunday, February 2nd.
“Ever since I saw Diana Ross fly off into the sky at the Halftime Show, I dreamed of performing at the Super Bowl,” said Jennifer Lopez. “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.”
“I’m so honored to be taking on one of the world’s biggest stages in the company of a fellow female artist to represent Latinos and Latinas from the U.S. and all over the world — and to top it off, on my birthday!” said Shakira. “This is a true American dream and we are going to bring the show of a lifetime!”
The Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show is, according to the NFL, the most-watched musical performance of the year.
