Why JLo and Shakira weren’t paid for their Super Bowl performance

False alarm, folks: Katy Perry is just fine. Last week, the folks at American Idol sent out a teaser for Sunday night's (Feb. 23) episode in which it appeared that Perry took a nose-dive after show runners cleared the venue because of an apparent gas leak.

Just weeks before her Valentine's Day engagement last year, Katy Perry sat down with Paper magazine and admitted she wasn't so sure she had full faith in the institute of marriage. 

As Dr. Luke’s $50 million defamation case against Kesha moves closer to trial, a New York judge Thursday (Feb. 6) eviscerated Kesha’s remaining defenses. Judge Jennifer Schecter not only narrowed the focus of what could be argued at trial but ruled that Kesha defamed Dr. Luke when she falsely told Lady Gaga that the producer had raped Katy Perry.

Katy Perry is roaring in the streets of Melbourne, where she's playing her part in a major cricket tournament. The superstar singer faces off with Australia’s cricketing champion Ellyse Perry in a mural celebrating “world’s most famous Perrys,” with both taking on vastly different roles in the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.Katy Perry will take the stage twice during the tournament, which is said to be the biggest women’s sporting event ever to be held Down Under.

They teamed up on the Super Bowl stage, and it looks like J Balvin and Jennifer Lopez are huge fans of one another! “Thank you so much for letting me shine, with no selfishness and great humility,” the Colombian star wrote in a caption on social media alongside a photo of himself with a dazzling JLo.

Sunday ushered in a new decade of phenomenal Super Bowl halftime shows, after Jennifer Lopez and Shakira dominated the stage together.

Performing during the Pepsi Super Bowl halftime show is kind of a big deal. Not only do you have millions of people watching at home, but you’re also performing to a huge crowd inside the stadium during one of the biggest sporting events of the year. But while you enjoy J. Lo and Shakira’s Super Bowl halftime show performance, you might be surprised to know that they won’t be paid for it, according to Forbes.

Shakira and Jennifer Lopez are no strangers to commanding the stage, selling out arenas for thousands of fans and grossing big bucks every tour stop. But this past Sunday, the two performed for their biggest crowd to date as they took the stage for the coveted Super Bowl halftime show—and didn't get paid zilch a cent for it.It's not unusual for Super Bowl performers to basically perform for free.

A quick clip of Shakira tongue flicking on camera during her Super Bowl performance on Sunday inspired a slew of hilarious memes.The moment was a traditional Arabic expression of joy, called a zaghrouta.Last night's Super Bowl halftime performance from Jennifer Lopez and Shakira was full of unforgettable moments, including guest appearances from J Balvin and Bad Bunny, and a surprise pole dancing routine from Lopez.

In the middle of some sporting event last night, its ever seen to date. As someone who was never great at Algebra, if I had to put a number on it, I'd say J. Lo and Shakira each deserve at least, like, one million from last night. That's one woman's opinion, but apparently the NFL is on the way other end of the spectrum and is literally paying these two artists dust. Dust, I say!

In the duo to end all duos, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez brought the house down (brought the stadium down?) at the Super Bowl LIV, with Shakira opening the performance with a medley of all her greatest hits, wearing a ruby-red, sparkly dress and accompanied by a handful of backup dancers also clad in ruby sparkles. During "Hips Don't Lie," Shakira crowd-surfed under a sky filled with fireworks—and, my friends, that was just the beginning.
