Football fans gather on Sunday, February 2, to watch the biggest NFL event of the year, Superbowl LIV. Taking place under the Florida sky, in the Hard Rock Stadium, located in Miami Gardens. While most fans wait in anticipation to watch the San Francisco 49ers go up against the Kansas City Chiefs. If you aren’t the biggest football fan, there is one thing that is almost guaranteed to bring everyone together, the Halftime Show.
Throughout the history of the event, the Halftime Show has become one of the biggest events to look forward to, from Katy Perry’s meme-worthy act during the Superbowl XLIX Halftime Show to Beyonce and Bruno Mars‘ amazing performance in Superbowl 50. Superbowl LIV is set to bring another powerhouse performance with the announcement of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira taking the stage.
Jennifer Lopez aka J.LO has gained a larger spotlight as of late after her performance in the movie Hustlers, having the international star perform is a no-brainer. During the press conference Jennifer Lopez stated her excitement, “Ever since I saw Diana Ross fly off into the sky at the Halftime Show, I dreamed of performing at the Super Bowl,” said Lopez. “And now it’s made even more special not only because it’s the NFL’s 100th season, but also because I am performing with a fellow Latina. I can’t wait to show what us girls can do on the world’s biggest stage.” In case you never heard of Jennifer Lopez, she is a worldwide star who has sold over 75 million records and has a cumulative worldwide box-office gross of over $3 billion. She is a fashion icon, artist, singer, and now she will tear up the stage alongside Shakira.
Set to perform alongside J.LO is Shakira another international sensation whose popularity has earned her major stardom along with multiple GRAMMY wins. Shakira sold over 75 million records worldwide becoming one of the biggest performers of all time. Shakira is no stranger to having one of her songs feature on a worldwide stage, with her hit single, “Waka Waka (Time for Africa)” becoming one of the theme songs for the 2010 World Cup. However, during the press conference she still recognizes the importance of sharing the stage with her fellow Latina performer, “I’m so honored to be taking on one of the world’s biggest stages in the company of a fellow female artist to represent Latinos and Latinas from the U.S. and all over the world — and to top it off, on my birthday!” said Shakira. “This is a true American dream and we are going to bring the show of a lifetime!” Shakira’s last album “El Dorado” charted #1 on iTunes in 37 Countries, won Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2017 Latin GRAMMY Awards, and Best Latin Pop Album at the 2018 GRAMMY Awards.
Superbowl LIV is set to premiere on Sunday, February 2, 2020. Air time 6:30 p.m ET, the game will be broadcasted on Fox.
The 2020 Grammy Awards has marked the 62nd aniversity of the yearly celebration of all things music. As par of the course for all award shows there were winners, and there were losers. This year is no different, and despite the flood of controversy, and the sudden tragic death of Kobe Bryant the Grammy still manage to deliver a few great surprises.
The biggest winner of the 2020 Grammy, of course, is none other than Billie Eilish. The 18-year-old singer conquered the award show by becoming the second artist in Grammy history to win an award for all four major categories on the same night (the first being Christopher Cross in 1981) nabbing the awards for best album, song, record, and best new artist. However, above all that she also became the first woman to win all major categories in one night in Grammy history. You may have your opinion on whether or not these awards are well earned, however, this is an important milestone in the history of the awards and in the midst of all the controversy that affected the 2020 Grammy. This is a welcome surprise.
The sports world suffered a tragic loss as 41 year old, NBA Legend Kobe Bryant died alongside his daughter in a helicoper crash earlier on the same day as the award show. The NBA legend was given a tribute by the hosts Alicia Keys, alongside Boyz.
Later on during the show, DJ Khaled and Nipsey Hussle, alongside John Legend won Best Rap/Sung Performance. During his speech DJ Khaled paid his respects for Nipsey Hussle who was tragically murder in front of his Marathon Clothing Store.
More Surprises
One of the best feel good moments of the night came from Tyler the Creator winning his first Grammy for Best Rap Album with his album IGOR.
Lizzo has become a bit of polarizing figure as of late, but one thing that can not be dennied is her amazing talent that should easily earn her any award. While she did walk away with a few awards for Best Urban Contemporary Album, Best Traditional R&B Performance, and Best Pop Solo Performance what muddles all these awards is that most of these awards are all occupaing the same space. In other words, despite all these awards it still feels that Lizzo was robbed.
Overall the 62nd aniversity of the Grammy, despite getting muddle by the controversy, and the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant the Grammy managed to pull of a passable show, highlighted by the history making sweep of Billie Eilish, but the controversial decision to not give Lizzo more awards proves that the Grammy is learning, but it still has a long way to go.
