Jennifer Lopez and Shakira have been confirmed as the halftime show for Super Bowl LIV at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida.
The singers announced their big news on social media with 42-year-old Shakira performing on her birthday - February 2, 2020.
Colombian Shakira shared a photo of 50-year-old J-Lo, along with the caption: "Get ready 02.02.20."
Lopez also tweeted a photo of Shakira with the words: “This is happening. 02.02.20."
They then shared a photo of the two singers together, with the caption: "Going to set the world on [fire emojis] @shakira #PepsiHalftime #SuperBowlLIV @pepsi”
There had been rumours for weeks that Lopez would be headlining the show but the actress, who is starring in Hustlers, had played the big gig down.
Speaking to Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest earlier this month, Lopez said: "It’s something that we’ve talked about for many years, and, you know, it would be nice. It would be nice. I can’t say I wouldn’t love it."
Adam Harter, Senior Vice President of Sports, Media and Entertainment, for PepsiCo said in a statement: "We are so excited to announce that global superstars Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will take the stage together for the very first time at the Pepsi Super Bowl LIV Halftime Show.
"We’ve been working closely behind-the-scenes with our longstanding partners at the NFL, and now alongside Roc Nation to bring these mega superstars together.
"It is a testament to our partnership and commitment to push the envelope of what is possible.”
Todd Kaplan, Vice President and Marketing for Pepsi added, “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Jennifer Lopez and Shakira to the stage.
"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.”
