Jennifer Lopez says co-headlining Super Bowl halftime was 'worst idea in the world'

Jennifer Lopez was not happy that the NFL made her and Shakira co-headliners at the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show, according to footage from her upcoming Netflix documentary.

The "Waiting for Tonight" singer debuted "Halftime" at the Tribeca Festival in New York on Thursday, and a scene in the doc, which reflects on her multi-hyphenate career, shows her agitated by the limited amount of time each superstar was allotted for the widely broadcast performance.

"We have six f— minutes," Lopez, 52, tells music director Kim Burse, according to Entertainment Weekly. "We have 30 seconds of a song, and if we take a minute, that's it, we've got five left. But, there's got to be certain songs that we sing, though. We have to have our singing moments. It's not going to be a dance f— revue. We have to sing our message."
