Jennifer Lopez and Shakira aren’t giving too much away about their Super Bowl halftime performance this Sunday, but they did promise an empowering show focused on messages of unity, diversity and love.
"It’s a lot of energy. It’s very entertaining. There’s heartfelt moments. I think we run the gamut. It’s packed with a lot of awesome moments," Lopez said during a press conference in Miami Thursday.
She noted that she hopes the female-centric show will be inspiring for young girls around the world, including her own daughter.
"Two Latinas, doing this in this country at this time, it’s just very empowering for us," she said. "And for me, I'm very proud to be able to help and put forth that message."
The two music superstars will each have six minutes to perform and plan to use the 12-minute total performance to showcase their successful, decades-long professional journeys.
"We might be able to take people on a journey that shows who we are, artistically, and where we've been all these years with our careers," Shakira told "Good Morning America" co-anchor Michael Strahan in an interview that aired Friday on "GMA."
