What started out as rumors and continued as cryptic post on twitter is now confirmed — The 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show will feature two of our favorite singers: Jennifer Lopez and Shakira!
Rumors have been flying for a while, but it was when Lopez tweeted “This is happening. 02.02.20” that things began to look official. Curiously, Lopez’s tweet came with a photo of Shakira brandishing a ring carrying the Pepsi logo — Pepsi being the sponsor of the Super Bowl Halftime since 2013.
Within minutes came a similar tweet from Shakira, this time with a picture of Lopez wearing an identical ring, with the caption “Get Ready [world emoji] 02.02.20”
Official confirmation came shortly after in a press release from Pepsi’s Todd Kaplan: “Throughout the years, Pepsi has had a strong heritage in music, working with a range of artists from Britney Spears to Ray Charles to Beyoncé. The Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show has become one of the most iconic and anticipated music performances of the year, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome Jennifer Lopez and Shakira to the stage.”
“These two remarkable artists are setting a new precedent for what this show can become, and we’re confident that this will be an incredible performance for the ages,” he concluded.
We’re extremely happy with Pepsi’s decision to have both singers. Double the talent, double the fun! 02.02.20 can’t come soon enough!
