Jennifer Lopez’s Super Bowl Halftime performance sent social media into something of a meltdown.
According to one of the sources, Jennifer Lopez almost never took a day off while practicing for her historic Super Bowl performance. 50-year-old J.Lo’s abs are still a motivation for many of us but at the same time, there was something that the netizens couldn’t resist talking about – the kids in cages and the Puerto Rican flag.
Finally, the Creative Directors, Tabitha and Napoleon Dumo, have spoken up about the idea behind showing the kids in the cage.
While giving an interview to one of the big media outlets, the husband and wife told that they had been working on the idea since September 2019.
All they had was one question in their mind, “What is that we can do to just leave an impact?”
Tabitha said, “This is the biggest stage in the world and I think every little girl looks at the Super Bowl their whole life and dreams of touching that stage and performing, so we wanted it to really count and mean something.”
When asked about the showing of the Puerto Rican flag, the choreographer explained that waving the flag was to honor her Puerto Rican heritage and inspiring other people at home to find their voice.
She further added, “A voice as a woman, as a Latino, as a mom – inspiring women of the next generation to get loud.”
Those watching the Superbowl Halftime show at home noticed a moment near the end of Lopez’s show in which her friend, Emme Maribel Muñiz, joined her with other kids and started singing “Let’s Get Loud” from inside the decorated cages.
While talking about the kids in the cage idea, the husband told that it was neither of their intention to make it look or give any political touch to the performance.
He added, “It was more or less about Love. It really comes from a base of love and happiness to be a Latino in America.”
Tell us what do you think of this performance, and in your opinion, is it fine to show the kids in cages during such an important event?
