Neither JLo nor Shakira has performed at the Super Bowl before, according to The Hollywood Reporter, but fans were really pushing in recent months for Lopez to get the gig and she even alluded to the fact that she might take the stage in an interview this summer with Entertainment Tonight.
"Yeah, I've thought about the Super Bowl and it's in Miami. It's a big deal, but we'll see. They make their own decisions over there," Lopez told ETOnline.
Lopez and Shakira follow other high-profile acts in recent years, including Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake.
