Jennifer and I talked about that a lot. Symbolically this means so much to us.’

The singer, whose hits include Waiting for Tonight, I’m Real, Jenny from the Block and others, said she hopes her performance with Colombian singer Shakira inspires and unites people.

‘It’s such a huge platform and you think, “OK, what is it that I want to do?” And to tell you the truth, you know, when I think about sports … and music, those are the two things that really, really bring people together. So, for me, it’s an opportunity to really bring people together in a moment of celebration, in joy, love, in unity and happiness. That’s what I feel that we’re going to provide,’ she said. ‘It really is about love and unity and celebrating the potential in every single person that’s inside of each one of us for all the beautiful things we are.’

Empowering: There is so much that we can achieve, just me and Shakira being on that stage is something where people go, “Yay, anything is possible. We can be up there, too”‘ said Shakira prior to taking the stage with the Jenny From The Block artist

We did it: The Latin singers shared a passionate embrace as they relished in their monumental accomplishment

Lopez, who is from the Bronx, said she is proud to see two Latin hitmakers headline on such a global stage.

‘I’m a woman, I’m Latin and I’m American and I’m proud of all of those things. If you’re going to describe me, I guess, that’s what it is. So, all of those things will be part of the performance for sure. I really hope that it empowers people,’ she said. ‘There is so much that we can achieve, just me and Shakira being on that stage is something where people go, “Yay, anything is possible. We can be up there, too.”‘

Lopez wanted the performance will be both large and warm.

Before the show: J.Lo shared this snap with her fans on Sunday just hours before the show. ‘Let’s show the world what two little Latin girls can do,’ she wrote

Thankful: Shortly after her performance, Shakira took to Instagram to thank her fans for ‘the best birthday gift’

‘The Super Bowl is the holy grail of live performances … so you´re thinking large scale, big moments, but also it still needs to feel very you and very personal and you want some kind of intimate, emotional moments as well. I’ve just been thinking of having a nice balance of the big and the kind of like intimate moments, too,’ she said.

One of the hardest parts, she said, was narrowing down the set list for the show, which will be co-produced by Jay-Z and his Roc Nation company for the first time.

‘Someone was like, “Oh, is it the greatest hits?” I was like, “ALL?”,’ she recalled, laughing.

‘It’s an enjoyable fun set and there was no way to fit in everything people were asking for,’ she continued. ‘But that’s a blessing and at the end of the day, I think what I put together with my team is something that is a lot of fun, a lot of energy (and) super-exciting.’
