During Super Bowl LIV on February 2, 2020, pop mega superstars Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, featuring Bad Bunny, performed a halftime show that is difficult to capture in one word, but if one such word exists, it is mesmerizing. From its political critique featuring children in cages to the explosive dance moves that could only be performed by Shakira and J.Lo, one thing is certain: Latinidad was fully on display, and, not surprisingly, in the days and weeks ahead, newspapers and magazines alike would print op-eds and personal essays from writers who were dazzled by one of the most electric halftime shows ever, a show in which not one, but two, Latinas took center stage. As Latinx studies scholars, we could not help but celebrate their performance for its daring, political, and electrifying qualities. For us, what was equally significant is that children were on the stage as well, most notably J.Lo’s own kids, who performed some dance numbers of their own. The cages that held these children were beyond symbolic; instead, they alluded to the actual cages and detention centers that imprison migrant children on U.S. soil, a result of inhumane immigration policies intended to “protect the border.”
