Jennifer Lopez and Shakira fused old-school razzle-dazzle with an of-the-moment sense of Latin American pride as the halftime performers during Sunday's Super Bowl LIV at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
"Latinos!" Lopez cried near the end of the 14-minute show as her song Let's Get Loud morphed into a rendition of Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen. That Lopez was wearing a feathered cape in a stars-and-stripes design on one side, and the Puerto Rican flag on the other, only rendered unmistakable what the music was making plenty clear: Jammed with as many rhythms and chants and textures as she and Shakira could fit, this was the gloriously polyglot sound of America in 2020.
