Super Bowl Halftime Review: Jennifer Lopez & Shakira Say It Loud, Proud And Dressed In Dazzle
halftime stage at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium atop a model of the Empire State Building, danced on a stage shaped like the female Venus symbol and donned, at one point, a remarkable Puerto Rican red white and blue cape-gown that appeared to be constructed of massive feather boas.
In a high-energy mix of music, dance and sequins, Lopez and Shakira delivered a spectacle-style show not without its statements. A silent but glitzy nod to Kobe Bryant – a cross of yellow and purple lights flashed on the field toward the end of the performance – typified the approach: Let the dazzle do the talking.
A celebration of Latino culture, the show began with Shakira, in red sparkly minidress fronting a phalanx of identically clad dancers, running through a fast medley of her hits “She Wolf,” “Empire” and “Whenever, Wherever.” In a duet on J Balvin’s “I Like It,” she took the part originated by Cardi B.
Lopez even paid tribute to herself with an attention-grabbing pole-dancing routine, a clear reference to her current, Oscar-snubbed film. A week before what could be a typically humdrum Academy Awards, Lopez couldn’t have been any clearer if she’d held up a sign saying, “See what you’re missing?”
