To be fair it's quite understandable where they're coming from. J.Lo has been expected to do Superbowl for a while now. I don't think anybody expected Shakira to ever be invited. So it can feel like she's taking away for Lopez's turn. Rumors of Shakira doing the SuperBowl have been around for over a decade. She's performed at every major world wide event that exists that has musical performances, all that was missing was the Superbowl. She's one of the most well-known artists of all time and arguably one, if not the most, popular Latin female pop star of all time. So yes, a lot of people expected her to one day do the Superbowl, especially after doing the world cup a few times. BTW, Shakira's streaming numbers are bigger than JLo's even in the US. Worldwide, streaming wise, she's in the top 10 most streamed artists of all time every year (with Taylor, Rhianna, Ariana & Katy). That being said, I can see how fans could prefer one over the other. Either way, they are both doing it together. Fans need to make peace with them sharing the stage and just enjoy the halftime show. Lastly, she released her first big hit "Estoy Aqui" in 1995. Here she is in 2020 doing the SuperBowl. Now that shows her longevity.

Shakira is a worldwide phenomenon and nobody can dispute that. I didn’t know she was still big in the US, so nice to hear that.

Shakira is a worldwide phenomenon and nobody can dispute that. I didn’t know she was still big in the US, so nice to hear that. I’ve never seen rumors of her headlining the Super Bowl before. The NFL would never have Shakira by herself. She is a global superstar but she’s not that big in the US. Her popularity peaked in the US with Hips Don’t Lie. J Lo is the bigger star in the states regardless of streaming stats. And that link to twitter? Please tell me the source. It seems fake AF. Guinness doesn’t normally do top 10s. They do the record holder. I find that list suspect. That’s not a knock at Shakira at all bc I think she could easily end up there.

That’s not a knock at Shakira at all bc I think she could easily end up there. Every year the rumors would come out about her doing the superbowl, mostly in the Latin media though. The fans that follow her noticed. Does it matter who's bigger? JLo is 50. Shakira is 42. They both started in the 90s. The fact that they are both doing the SuperBowl this late in their careers should be celebrated. There's really no need to compare them. They are both highly successful artists that have experienced longevity in an industry where pop stars are highly disposable. Personally, I love them both. They both compliment each other because they are both different. JLo enjoys the spotlight. She enjoys being a diva and I enjoy that about her. Shakira is more focused on her music, which is likely why decades later her music still is performing strongly on the streaming charts. Shakira peaked with HDL in the US on US pop radio, but her US streaming stats for her new music is still strong. The lead single from her last album, Chantaje, has 2.4B views on youtube. "El Dorado" was the most streamed female album of all time the year it was released, currently its not, but just being able to achieve that with a new album is impressive for someone that's been around as long as she has. She's not Taylor Swift, but she's still in the mix. Noone expects her to be on top this late in her career, but just being competitive is good enough at this point. An artists career doesn't end when they peak. This late in her career she can still sellout arenas and stadiums worldwide. Shakira being near the top of the social media and streaming world has allowed her to stay in the mix even if radio doesn't play her music. Eventually she'll become like the other aging divas and downgrade to small venues and experience small streaming numbers, but she's not there yet. We'll see how long she manages to stay in the mix. She experienced her first hit in 1994 and is still going. She'll never be the it girl again, but she'll likely stick around for quite awhile. Few pop stars are doing much decades into their careers. Their careers have lasted for decades. How many of the current pop girls will last 30 years? The Guinness list is all over Twitter. I didn't check its accuracy, but you can look into it if you'd like. Regardless, that list doesn't matter much anyways.

This whole "rivalry" atmosphere people have been creating online around this performance is so frustrating. It's like people can't see two women being successful together... they have to turn it into a competition

But the fact is she’s not in the American market. I said before she’s a GLOBAL superstar. Let’s put it this way, JLo is a lot more relevant in the US than Shakira. And honestly, always has been, but she also does movies and has had the tabloids and media in her ass for years. I’m not pitting them against each other.
