The two stars, who have scored international hits in both English and Spanish, will be the headlining acts for the 2020 Pepsi Super Bowl halftime show.

The show will be co-produced by Jay-Z‘s Roc Nation.

The photo excited Lopez’s fans all over the world.

“These two remarkable artists are setting a new precedent for what this show can become, and we’re confident that this will be an incredible performance for the ages,” Todd Kaplan, Pepsi vice president of marketing, told the Associated Press in a statement.

Lopez and Shakira also tweeted the bigger picture of the two singers together. “It doesn’t get any bigger than this! So excited about getting on that #SuperBowlLIV #PepsiHalftime stage!” Shakira wrote.
