Jennifer Lopez & Shakira: What It Takes for A Latina To Become a Superstar - In an article by the Washington Post following Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s performance at the 2020 Super Bowl, Chris Richards wrote that the Super Bowl is the most widely experienced musical performance each year, which instantly makes everything about it feel significant, and sometimes even profound. And the 2020 edition of the event is no exception as it marked the pinnacle of two remarkable careers. Back in the late 90s, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez were part of the Latin explosion, also known as Latin wave or Latin Invasion, that took the United States by storm with music acts such as Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin, and Luis Miguel.

Their performance at the 2020 Super Bowl will probably go down as one of the most memorable ones in the show’s history. But It is also a rare moment of representation of Latin culture and Latina women in mass media. How did Shakira and Jennifer Lopez became global stars and what do their respective career trajectory tell us about what it has historically taken for Latina women to reach the pinnacle of fame?
