Jennifer and Emme have performed together before. In the 2020 SuperBowl, Jennifer memorably brought them out to sing a verse in “Let’s Get Loud.” The Netflix documentary “Halftime” also shows Jennifer’s struggle in trying to keep that segment of the performance in, one that had a political undertone.
“We left rehearsal and I noticed everybody was freaking out, but I don’t know why,“ Lopez recalls. “I get a call from [my manager] Benny [Medina] and he’s like, ‘They want to pull the cages.’ That night, the higher-ups at the NFL saw it for the first time and they’re like, ‘Hey, you can’t do that,’” she said.
