Jennifer Lopez<\/a><\/strong> is setting the record straight on her 2020 Super Bowl performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to believe that only a week ago she and Shakira<\/a><\/strong> shut it down in Miami with an epic halftime performance<\/a>, which featured glitzy outfit changes, major surprises guests (like Bad Bunny<\/strong> and J Balvin<\/a><\/strong>), powerful political statements and so much more.<\/p>\n

Despite the iconic show, which also marked the first time two Latinas led a halftime performance<\/a> at the Super Bowl, some people weren’t thrilled with it. Many claimed the show wasn’t kid-friendly and it was over-sexualized.<\/p>\n

However, J.Lo is making it clear that the message behind her performance was meant to be empowering.<\/p>\n

“It was an amazing moment for us,” she told E! News at the 2020 Film Independent Spirit Awards<\/a> on Saturday, which aired on IFC. “The message was really about women and Latinos raising their voices and stepping up. And not being afraid to stand up for yourselves.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The Hustlers<\/em> actress explained that she wanted her halftime performance to also be significant and special for her 11-year-old daughter, Emme Maribel Mu\u00f1iz<\/strong>, who joined her and Shakira on stage that Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Everything I want to pass onto my not just my daughter, but to all the little girls on that stage… [is] to be proud of who you are, to speak up for yourself, to know your worth and your value,” Lopez said. “That was the message. I think for women everywhere, that was the message.”<\/p>\n

She added that performing alongside her 11-year-old daughter was a dream come true. “It’s real love, it’s what it is,” she shared.<\/p>\n

Adding, “And I think that translated that night. That, that’s what we were about\u2014about spreading a message about love and unity. It was a celebration.”<\/p>\n

On Friday night, the 50-year-old singer opened up to Jimmy Fallon<\/a><\/strong> about her baby girl and how much of a natural she was during her performance.<\/p>\n

“She doesn’t let it in her mind how big [the performance] is or how it scares you. That’s what you have to do when you’re up there, you know\u2014you kind of have to [have] control,” J.Lo told the host<\/a> on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“She has that gene, that gene of ‘I’m comfortable up here…’ I wish I felt more like her,” she continued. “She has a good time with it and I would never make her do it if it ever made her uncomfortable in any way.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
