While Shawn Carter’s association with the NFL remains steeped in controversy, his first time out producing the Super Bowl’s halftime show went off without a hitch and was widely praised.

The event was opened with a reading of “America the Beautiful” by gospel singer Yolanda Adams. The national anthem was performed by Demi Lovato, who is on the come back trail after a brush with death after an accidental overose last summer.

The halftime show was opened by Colombian-born entertainer Shakira, who won high marks for a sultry performance highlighted by her signature sexy dance moves and a meme moment generated by a close up of her flicking her tongue at a camera. Performing on her 42nd birthday, Shakira was joined by Puerto Rica reggaeton singer Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio).

Lopez opened her set atop a facsimile of New York’s famed Empire State building in a costume designed by Versace, an appropriate choice given she’s fronting the label’s spring 2020 campaign. She was styled by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, who designed a total of 213 costumes and 143 pairs of shoes for Lopez and her dancers, according to Hollywood Reporter.

Choreographed by the white-hot Parris Goebel, the dance routine included a pole dance routine by Lopez plus an appearance by Swing Latino, a Colombian salsa dance school, who Lopez became acquainted with while a “World of Dance” judge.

Lopez’s performance included a guest appearance by Colombian reggaeton singer J Balvin (real name José Álvaro Osorio Balvín), and in one of the show’s more memorable moments she was joined by her daughter, Emme Maribel Muñiz, who sang a verse of “Let’s Get Loud.” The mother and daughter duo then segued into Bruce Springsteen‘s “Born in the U.S.A.,” which Lopez used to make a statement on her own dual heritage revealing a two-sided cape with a rendition of the Puerto Rican and U.S. flag on either side.

Lopez and Shakira closed out the show together, singing Lopez’s “Let’s Get Loud” and “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” a Shakira composition that was the theme of the 2010 World Cup.

Kid Cudi performed on SNL last night in an Off-Whi Kid Cudi performed on SNL last night in an Off-White floral dress paired with a Ben Baller chain inspired by Takashi Murakami. 

For his second appearance, Cudi was clad in a green mohair sweater, Chris Farley t-shirt with Nike x Cactus Plant Flea Market Dunk sneakers. 

In addition to a send up to former SNL cast member Farley, who died of an overdose at age 33, both looks worn by Cudi are thought to be a tribute to Kurt Cobain who once performed in a floral dress. 

Cobain, who committed suicide at age 27, wore a mohair sweater and jeans during his MTV Unplugged performance in 1993. 

Cobain's MTV sweater was auctioned for $334k in 2019.

Interesting! FOG designer Jerry Lorenzo tells Kerw Interesting! FOG designer Jerry Lorenzo tells Kerwin Frost that he doesn't have aspirations to become the creative director of a major fashion house because he wants to stay focused on building his own brand. 

In the second clip, he references a Jay-Z line when he notes that Virgil Abloh taking on the role at LV has enabled Lorenzo and others  not to. "Like I told you sell drugs; no, Hov did that so hopefully you don't have to go through that." 

The whole exchange brings up the question, are we entering into a post legacy luxury label world?
