The political message of Shakira and Jennifer López
The 2020 Super Bowl halftime show, headed by two Latin women in Miami, served as a replica to a government that spent the last three years denigrating the populations that these artists represent. The message of Shakira, the Colombian star, was simple and subtle: a call to the sounds and feelings that catapulted her to American fame. Jennifer Lopez, who is of Puerto Rican heritage, had a clear political message: she sang a mix of Bruce Springsteen's iconic “Born in the USA” and her own “Let's Get Loud” while wrapped in a reversible feather coat with the flags of The United States and Puerto Rico, the American territory to which President Donald Trump has hardly paid attention in times of crisis. In addition, his 11-year-old daughter and other children sang from bright structures that closely resembled cages, something interpreted as indirect to the Trump administration, which has been widely criticized for the treatment received by immigrant children.
