The halftime show provides plenty of excitement during the bloated halftime break before the beginning of the second half.The 2020 Super Bowl halftime show performers are Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. The selection of the two Hispanic pop icons were deemed a perfect fit for Miami, the location of Super Bowl 54. It’s the first Super Bowl halftime show since the NFL partnered with Jay-Z and Roc Nation to lead “the league’s endeavors in music and entertainment.”The show should be an improvement over 2019 when fans questioned the selection of Maroon 5, Travis Scott and Big Boi and their performance was widely panned.Shakira and Lopez, each performing at the Super Bowl for the first time, will join a long list of artists who have been selected to headline the most-watched musical event of the year. Previous halftime performances include Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Prince and Bruno Mars among many others throughout the game’s history.
