No, Shakira And Jennifer Lopez Are Not 'Too Old' For Their Performance In The Super Bowl

There's no age limit when it comes to absolutely slaying the Super Bowl.

No, Shakira And Jennifer Lopez Are Not 'Too Old' For Their Performance In The Super Bowl

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
