JLo & Shakira made history with a Halftime Show about Latin Pride & Resistance. As promised, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez brought their A-game during the Super Bowl LIV Halftime Show. These phenomenal Latinas knocked down the legacy of the Super Bowl LIV Halftime Show with a historical performance that included all-Latin artists. In the era of Trump, that is major. As Time magazine points out, Shakira and JLo are the “first Latin artists to co-headline America’s most-watched annual event, and the first pair of female artists to share top billing! But first, we must bow down to the queens because while we knew it would be entertaining, we had no idea it would be like this. And, by this, I mean their performance was show-stopping, hot as hell, and full of Latin pride. The show also touched on some pressing political issues that are affecting the Latin community and also featured some beautiful surprises. Beyond its entertainment value, the Super Bowl halftime show mattered because it put Latino performers center stage, celebrating their contributions to popular culture.
