Regardless of whether you like NFL or not, most of us tune into the Super Bowl to watch the stellar half time performances.
WATCH: Jennifer Lopez pole dances during Super Bowl Halftime show
While Beyonce and Lady Gaga have blessed us with some banging performances in the past, Jennifer Lopez and Shakira went above and beyond today, blowing everyone else out of the water.
Taking to the stage at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Shakira began by singing a medley of some of her greatest hits, including Whenever, Wherever and Hips Don’t Lie.
Shimmying her way around the stage in a red ensemble which included thousands of glittery tassels, J-Lo quickly made her entrance by sliding down a pole to meet her posse of backup dancers, only to wow the crowd with a new rendition of Jenny From The Block.
And just when we thought the performance couldn’t get any better, the Hustlers actress brought her 11-year-old daughter onto the stage where she belted out a tune while Shakira played the drums in the background.
THIS IS ICONIC.
Before the dynamic duo tore up the stage, Demi Lovato performed for the second time this year, belting out a powerful rendition of the National Anthem.
A week before telling her followers she’d been honoured with the gig, Demi debuted her new single, Anyone, at the Grammy’s. The former Disney star penned the emotional track four days before she was hospitalised in July 2018 after an overdose.
“This song was written and recorded actually very shortly before everything happened. So I recorded the vocals for it four days before [the overdose]…The lyrics took on a totally different meaning…You kind of listen back to it and you think, how did nobody listen to this song and think, ‘let’s help this girl’,” she told Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s New Music Daily show.
“I was singing this song and I didn’t even realize that the lyrics were so heavy and emotional until after the fact. And that’s what kind of brings us to this moment… I remember being in the hospital and listening to the song and it was about a week after I had been in the hospital and I was finally awake.
“And I just remember hearing back the songs I had just recorded and thinking, “If there’s ever a moment where I get to come back from this, I want to sing this song.”
