On February 2, the Kansas City Chiefs played the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV. But the most important part of the night was when Shakira and Jennifer Lopez took the stage during the halftime show.
Of course, in the only way it knows how, Twitter began to spread its opinions about the show and how it was inappropriate. A lot of people pointed out the ages of both J-Lo (50 years old) and Shakira (43 years old).
People on the Internet lost it over the fact that J-Lo used a stripper pole to climb and slide down, which most people (including me) were amazed by. Some people claimed that it was inappropriate for her to do that on TV because she is 50 years old and there are kids watching the Super Bowl.
Honestly, I feel like critics have always been harder on the women rather than the men during the Super Bowl halftime performances.
During last year's Super Bowl, Adam Levine, who is 40 years old, strutted around the stage without a shirt on, and nobody questioned if that was appropriate for his age.
Don't even get me started on the 2004 Super Bowl performance. This was the year with the infamous wardrobe malfunction when Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake performed. At the end of their song, Justin Timberlake exposed Janet Jackson's breast. The blame and criticism quickly fell on Janet Jackson, even though Justin was the one that tore off the piece of costume.
All I know is, if I looked that good and moved like that at their age, I would do whatever the hell I want. So, the moral of this story is: please keep your opinions to yourself, because age has nothing to do with J-Lo and Shakira's performance.
