“This is the bottom line, you have very little time,” she said of Shakira andJ. Lo’s performance at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium. “You have like 12 minutes or something to get things on and off the set. So could you do it [with] one person? Yes. But I think they wanted to throw a Miami and Latin extravaganza. They tried to pack in as much as possible and they killed it. An amazing show.”

Estefan, who was also invited to perform for the halftime show that year, then joked, “Imagine whatJ. Lowould’ve said if I would’ve been the third. I literally would’ve come out, ‘Come and shake your body,’ out,” she said, referencing the lyrics to her hit song, “Conga.”
Estefan previously performed for the halftime show in 1992, 1995, and 1999, perBillboard.
InHalftime,Lopez is shown having a tense conversation with her music director Kim Burse about how the show would realistically play out — namely, how she was concerned that she and Shakira wouldn’t get the most out of the time they had when it came to putting on an impactful performance.
“We have six f—ing minutes. We have 30 seconds of a song, and if we take a minute, that’s it, we’ve got five left,” Lopez tells Burse in the film, perEntertainment Weekly. “But there’s got to be certain songs that we sing, though. Wehave to have our singing moments. It’s not going to be a dance f—ing revue. We have to sing our message.”
