Shakira and JLo shut down the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday on Fox, and fans
00:05
are praising the subtle but powerful statements they made on Puerto Rico and U.S. immigration
00:10
policy.
00:11
The 15-minute performance saw the co-headliners perform their greatest hits, but it's a sequence
00:15
of moments toward the end of the show that caught some viewers' eyes.
00:19
In both a direct call to her Puerto Rican heritage and what some believe is a response
00:23
to President Donald Trump's child immigration policies, Jennifer Lopez brought her daughter
00:27
out to perform a moving snippet of her single, Let's Get Loud.
00:31
Behind her daughter were a group of children, all holding hands and dressed in white outfits,
00:36
featuring sparkling American flags on the tops.
00:38
Around the young singer were other children, also dressed in white and sitting in what some
00:42
have interpreted as cages of light.
00:45
A moment later, JLo draped herself in a feathered Puerto Rican flag, while delivering a rendition
00:49
of Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A.
00:52
Shakira and JLo's performance marked the first time two Latinas have ever headlined the halftime
00:56
show.
00:57
Singer and songwriter Shakira is a Columbia-born Latin pop artist, while multi-genre American
01:02
singer, actress and dancer Jennifer Lopez was born and raised in the Bronx by Puerto
01:06
Rican parents.
01:08
One user tweeted,
01:09
"...born in the U.S.A. JLo just stuck in political statement on immigration."
01:13
Another tweeted,
01:14
"...props to JLo, Shakira and or the choreographer for the necessary statement with Latino children
01:19
in cages singing Born in the U.S.A."
01:21
And another wrote,
01:22
"...replaying the halftime show Tears. JLo and Shakira brought the children in cages
01:26
on stage.
01:27
Then JLo says Latinos, let's get loud, as Emmy sings Born in the U.S.A. with the fence
01:32
in the background.
01:33
Powerful statement."
01:34
