The New York singer gave her opinion on the NFL's proposal in her documentary with Netflix Halftime.
The world still remembers with emotion the great show of Shakira and Jennifer López in the halftime show of the 54th edition of the Super Bowl. The Colombian and American singers had J Balvin and Bad Bunny as special guests. In addition, they sang great hits such as "Jenny from the Block", "On the Floor", "Hips Don't Lie" and "Whenever, Wherever".
The show, held at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, was a complete display of Latino culture and was seen live by 103 million people in the United States. It was in September 2019 when both artists announced that they would share the stage at the halftime show.
This was the first time since 2004 that the Super Bowl show was headlined by more than one performer. The show of both was acclaimed by both viewers and the media. The New York Post, for example, wrote that Shakira and Jennifer Lopez "brought the spark back to the Super Bowl halftime performances" and that the performance was a "Latino pride party."
However, it was recently learned that the New York star did not agree with the idea of sharing the stage with the singer from Barranquilla, where each one had six and a half minutes. Despite this, the presentation of both artists reached 85 million views on YouTube in its first three days and became the most viewed on the platform. It currently has more than 235 million views.
What did Jennifer Lopez say?
After more than two years of this historic halftime show, Jennifer López is premiering her documentary with Netflix called Halftime, which is mainly based on Jennifer López's preparation for that February 2, 2020. Although the documentary will be available on the streaming platform on June 14, this had its premiere in the last hours at the Tribeca Film Festival.
One of the moments that most attracted the attention of the documentary, and that fans have not been slow to comment on, is when López assured that the proposal to share the stage with Shakira had been "the worst idea in the world." The New York Post also advances something that would be the reason why Jennifer López did not agree with that proposal. “It was an insult to think that the NFL needed two Latinas to do the job that an artist has historically done,” said the singer and actress.
Jennifer Lopez's documentary also includes details of her private life and difficult moments in her professional career, such as her disappointment at not having been nominated for an Oscar for her role in the movie Hustlers.
