But lost in the performance – at least for those watching at home – is just how impressive it is that a crew can put together the stage and lighting so quickly right after the first half of the Super Bowl ends.
I decided to do a little time-lapse video to show how insanely fast they are at creating it all, as they have no time at all to spare.
Check this out from the start of halftime until the beginning of the show:
Pop legends Shakira and Jennifer Lopez took center stage in Miami at Super Bowl 54 to deliver the biggest concert of the year, and a hilarious moment from Shakira’s performance of her smash hit “Hips Don’t Lie” is going viral.
Shakira went crowdsurfing during her set, and after getting back on the stage, the camera zoomed in for a close-up as Shakira delivered…. this. It became a meme immediately.
Lopez made a spectacular entrance and was wearing a leather outfit and went through numerous changes, at one point draped in the flag of Puerto Rico and singing a bit of “Born in the U.S.A.” made famous by Bruce Springsteen.
Lopez, 50, has had four chart-toppers, along with six other top-10 songs. She starred in the movie “Hustlers” in 2019 and is engaged for former baseball star Alex Rodriguez.
Lopez daughter Emme, 11, also performed. The New York Post reported her part was symblock. “She will be performing on stage as the symbol of the American dream.”
Shakira is a Colombian pop singer who released her debut album in 1991, at 13 years old. Four of her songs have reached the Billboard Top 10, with ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ her sole No. 1 hit.
“The message [of my performance] is gonna be ‘Listen, I’m a woman. I’m a Latina. It wasn’t easy for me to get to where I am. And being at the Super Bowl is proof that everything is possible,” the 42-year-old told 60 Minutes. “That the dreams of a little girl from Barranquilla, Colombia, they were made of something of what dreams are made of and I’m gonna be there, giving it all.’ ”
Best SB halftime show ever…by far…and I'm a Prince fanatic…but this is unequalled. Lordy…

Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will be the halftime show at Super Bowl LIV when the Kansas City Chiefs meet the San Francisco 49ers Feb. 2. The bar is incredibly high for the intermission act in South Beach because the halftime show for XLI was the best of all. Prince put on a spectacular show that tops every other act who has had the honor of showing their talents for about 12 minutes.
