In another post, she honored her Puerto Rican heritage as well as Shakira’s Colombian roots, writing in Spanish alongside a photo of herself holding up the Puerto Rican flag during a rendition of “Born in the U.S.A.,” “Puerto Rico and Colombia very high today.”
After bringing her 11-year-old daughter on stage to perform alongside her for a portion of the show, Lopez also made sure to send love to the preteen, thanking her and calling her “my coconut.”
For Shakira, the Miami halftime show came as she also celebrated her 43rd birthday, which she acknowledged on her Instagram after the show.
“The best birthday gift has been the support of all my fans and the most amazing and hardworking team an artist could wish for,” the “Hips Don’t Lie” artist wrote on Instagram. “We Latinos climbed Kilimanjaro and made history tonight and we couldn’t have done it without all of you!”
