It was recently announced that Jennifer Lopez will be doing the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show, and now the NFL has posted a and joint photo of the singer with fellow pop star Shakira to promote the big news. The halftime show will be sponsored by Pepsi, and will likely feature both superstars belting out their most iconic tunes.

While many have expressed excitement over the Halftime Show announcement, there are some who were hoping for a different direction for the show this year.
“Yo why can’t we get a metal band or something for a halftime show?” one person asked, then adding, “This is a sport about ramming into each other and we get these 2 for a halftime show? The hell?”
Overwhelmingly, however, most seem to be happy with the choice for Halftime entertainers.
