While political factions lunged for slices of the SuperBowl’s hefty viewership, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez united a divided NFL audience. CraigSJ writes
It was a weird night, but it was a good halftime show. Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images Super Bowl halftime performances can be, and often are, quite bad. In the early years of the show, you were lucky to get a marching band, a college drill team, a few incongruous movie stars, or some other wholesome business. Carol Channing played twice.
Lady Gaga and Beyoncé proved the show could be a set piece for style, professionalism, and politics in recent years, and then Maroon 5 and Justin Timberlake offered the rejoinder, that bros who leave their politics at the door will always have a seat at the NFL’s table. The league has since looked to change its course on matters of social justice, or at least its optics.
In 54 years, the Super Bowl halftime show has never featured Latinx artists performing music in Spanish. History was made two minutes in, when Shakira’s set of hits broke out a bit of the old ¿Dónde Están los Ladrones? closer, “Ojos Así,” a song in which the native Colombian also highlights her Lebanese roots.
