Lopez touched on coming together with Shakira and merging such distinctive musical styles for an event so grand. “The creative process is really intense when it comes to a show of this magnitude,” she explained in Spanish, as noted by Variety. She added:
“But we worked together to make this the best show possible. I also think that sports and music are the two things that can join people together in any part of the world, and we have that opportunity this Sunday, and we are going to do our best.”
