Jennifer Lopez's Super Bowl 2020 Halftime show deal almost done: 'It's her dream and she's already talking ideas on the show'
Jennifer Lopez could be headlining the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show in Miami according to recent reports. The concert is being produced by none other than Jay-Z. The 50-year-old superstar was recently named 2019's Music Mogul of the Year by Variety. Inside sources have informed Hollywood Life that a deal is "extremely close" to being finalized.
“Jennifer Lopez is excited to be in very serious talks to do the Super Bowl halftime show. The deal is extremely close to being done,” the insider revealed. “She’s very excited at the thought of it all and knows she’d absolutely kill it and already is talking ideas on the show itself.” The Super Bowl will take place on February 2, 2020, in Miami, Florida — a city that is very dear to J.Lo. In fact, her birthday July 24th is celebrated as Jennifer Lopez Day by the city. “It’s in Miami, a place she absolutely loves and seeing as she’s celebrating life all year long after turning 50, feels it would be a perfect fit,” the source said.
“It’s always been a dream of [Jennifer’s] and she’s really hoping it all gets finalized soon but it sounds pretty promising from both sides of the conversations,” the source continued. The singer has always wanted to do the Super Bowl Halftime Show forever but her career in TV and film and her touring schedule and Vegas residency has taken over her schedule to ever be able to say yes! But now everything is coming about and all together for this year to be the time for it to happen, revealed another source.
Lopez could be looking to finalize the deal by Thanksgiving so that she has enough time for preparations as well, people close to the matter revealed. “It is absolutely a bucket list item for Jen and to do it in Miami would be the most special moment ever. It is pretty much a lock that she is going to do it and then her next big thing will be figuring out her wedding details. But a JLO Super Bowl is as good as gold, she’s ready!”
