Jennifer Lopez talked about her upcoming halftime performance at Super Bowl LIV and said because the country is “super divided” she wants to “bring people together” with her music.
“My goal is to make a beautiful show, to get everybody up there singing, dancing,” the 50-year-old singer told the Associated Press when asked about performing for the halftime show in February 2020 during her red carpet appearance at the 11th Annual Governors Awards.
