After two consecutive halftime disasters (see: Justin Timberlake in 2018 and Maroon 5 in 2019), the pressure was on Jennifer Lopez and Shakira to restore order and make the Pepsi Halftime Show enjoyable again and they did not disappoint.

The Latinas had us dancing the night away as they breezed through some of their many hits, paid a subtle tribute to Kobe Bryant and even got a little political (see: the kids in cages moment). It was everything a halftime show should be: fun, entertaining and inspiring. Watch it below:

In just her second performance since her overdose, Demi Lovato kicked off Super Bowl LIV on Sunday (February 2nd) with her solid rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner", and looked great in all-white at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Watch it below:

Prior to the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers taking the field for battle, Yolanda Adams opened the festivities for Super Bowl LIV with a beautiful performance of "America The Beautiful", at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Watch it below:

A Super Bowl LIII champion has been crowned! In a low-scoring matchup that lived up to expectations, the New England Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 to take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy in Atlanta, Georgia.

“We fought through it more than anything. It’s unbelievable to win this game,” quarterback Tom Brady told reporters after the game. Asking if a win means imminent retirement for Brady, the oldest quarterback to win the title asserted “it doesn’t change anything.”

It’s been 17 years since the two teams shared the biggest stage in sports at Super Bowl XXXVI, and that stunning game would see the Patriots squeeze out a 20-17 victory over the Rams (then based in St. Louis) to earn quarterback Brady and coach Bill Belichick their first Super Bowl title. The Rams and Patriots matchup was the second Super Bowl rematch in a row for New England, who lost to the Philadelphia Eagles last year in a rematch of the 2004.

Amid calls for them to pull out of the performance, Maroon 5 and special guests Travis Scott and Big Boi did little to silence the criticism by delivering a lackluster performance at Super Bowl LIII Halftime Show, held at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Amid a mountain of controversy and backlash, Gladys Knight kicked off Super Bowl LIII on Sunday with her rousing rendition of the national anthem in a white dress and silver booties with an embellished headband at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

After much speculation, Justin Timberlake has been confirmed to headline the Super Bowl LII Pepsi Halftime Show on February 4th, 2018 in Minneapolis.

It will mark the singer's third overall appearance on the NFL's biggest stage. His last appearance came in 2004, when he accidentally removed a piece of headliner Janet Jackson's wardrobe ensemble and created a controversy that some believe she still hasn't fully recovered from - hence #JusticeForJane trending on Twitter last night.

Before that, the 10x-Grammy winner had participated in the halftime show back in 2001, when he appeared as part of *NSYNC during Aerosmith's headlining appearance. Whether this is just another example of white privilege prevailing at the expense of a minority or not, I'm sure that he will give a commanding performance.

New England Patriot quarterback Tom Brady mounted the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history and cemented his position as the greatest quarterback ever with 34-28 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI. Read details of the team's historic victory beneath:

Tom Brady Leads Greatest Comeback In Super Bowl History

Down 25 points in the third quarter, Brady delivered the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history on Sunday, befitting of his status as greatest quarterback of all time.

New England, down and almost out against Atlanta in the third quarter, stormed back to force overtime and then won their fifth Super Bowl, 34-28. Brady captured his fourth Super Bowl MVP award by throwing for 466 yards and two touchdowns.

Brady and company officially claimed the Lombardi Trophy after James White capped the Patriots’ overtime drive with a 2-yard touchdown run, ending an eight-play, 75-yard drive against a gassed Falcons defense.

“It was unbelievable,” Brady said afterward. By rule, a team scoring a touchdown on the first possession of overtime is the winner. Atlanta never got the ball.

The victory will go down as arguably the sweetest in Patriots lore, as team owner Robert Kraft said as much in the postgame celebration as he received the championship trophy from commissioner Roger Goodell, a ceremony that was equally loud in cheers for the champs and boos for the league commish.

“A lot has transpired over the last two years”, Kraft said, obviously talking about deflate-gate. “I don’t think that needs any explanation.”

The win was historic in nature.

Comparatively unknown, yet undaunted, the Falcons jumped New England and appeared to be cruising to the franchise’s first Lombardi.

With speedy playmakers on both sides of the ball, the Falcons ran the vaunted Patriots off the field early, jumping to leads of 21-0 and 28-3 in what looked to be an unexpected rout. Previously no team that ever trailed by more than 10 points in a Super Bowl had come back to win.

Yet Tom Brady and the Pats refused to quit.

Facing the kind of massive second-half deficit that in the past has caused so many Super Bowl teams to quit and face a blowout, the Pats bucked up, with Brady visibly working the sideline, shouting at his teammates to keep fighting.

There was a Brady to James White 5-yard touchdown pass. Then there was a Stephen Gostkowski field goal. Then, after a strip sack by Donte Hightower of Matt Ryan set the Pats up deep in Atlanta territory, Brady hit Danny Amendola for a 6-yard touchdown. They then converted the two-point conversion.

With less than three minutes left, Brady, trailing 28-20, led an epic 91-yard touchdown drive that will rank among the most astounding in league history.

“He was the same as he always is – cool, calm and collected,” said Patriots receiver Danny Amendola. “He’s the leader, the general, the best ever and that is the end of the story.”

They moved the chains on an out to Chris Hogan and then another to Malcolm Mitchell. Then Julian Edelman caught a wild one after a deflection that was the Patriots’ answer to the old helmet catch that once did them in. That one went to 28. Three plays later James White scored on a 1-yard run. Then Brady hit Amendola for the tying two-point conversion.

White finished with 14 receptions for 110 yards and totaled three touchdowns, one receiving and two rushing, one of which made the Patriots champions.

The story of the victory will be retold for generations in New England. The story of the collapse will be mourned for just as long in Georgia.

Basketball legend Kobe Bryant was presented with the Icon Award (along with Abby Wambach and Peyton Manning) at last night's ESPY Awards in Los Angeles, and music superstar Justin Timberlake was on hand to present all three athletes' awards.

"The greatest performers set themselves apart by the way they make you feel," the award-winning singer, who previously hosted the show in 2008, began following highlight reels from each of the athletes. "Kobe. Peyton. Abby. Before they all decided to say goodbye this past year, they already had a lot in common -- they were touted as a star from the start."

Bryant capped off the acceptance speeches by being his usual charming self, saying, "It's amazing to be standing here alongside Abby and Peyton. Abby decided to retire after a compelling World Cup victory. Manning hung up his cleats after an impressive Super Bowl win." He even poked fun at his last season, joking, "For me, I tend to do things a little differently. I felt an impressive 17-for-65 season would be a bold statement to wrap up my 20-year career."

Last night (April 13th), Kobe Bryant's 20th and final season came to a close and in true Mamba fashion, the Los Angeles Lakers legend went out with a bang scoring an unbelievable 60 points and setting a slew of new records including the highest-scoring game in the NBA this season and the most points ever by a player in his final NBA game.

"We are here to celebrate greatness for 20 years, excellence for 20 years. Kobe Bryant has never hated, has never cheated us, the fans," Magic Johnson said. "He's played through injuries. He's played hurt. And we've got five championship banners to show for it. When you think about this town for the last 20 years, this man has been the biggest and greatest celebrity in this town. He is not only a great sports icon, he is the greatest to wear the purple and gold."

After putting on a final show, Bryant addressed the sold-out crowd. "I can't believe its come to an end. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. What can I say? Mamba out"

It came down to the wire and require four consecutive victories to end the season, but Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 125-104 at Oracle Arena on Wednesday, April 13th, to set a new league record for wins in a single season with 73 wins and only 9 losses. It is one win better than the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.

Additionally, Curry eclipsed 400 3-pointers in a season and broke his previous record for 3's in a season with 286, which he set last season. Counting the 10 3-pointers he made on Wednesday, the record now stands at 402, a staggering number considering that before this season, no one had made as many as 300 3's in a year. Congrats are certainly in order for the Warriors!!!

NHL player Mike Fisher is accustomed to watching his superstar wife Carrie Underwood win award after award, but on Monday, March 22nd, the beautiful singer was in full wife mode as her husband was honored by the Nashville Predators for his 1000th game.

Underwood also honored her husband in a star-studded video, that featured congratulatory messages from the likes of Brad Paisley, Bono, Luke Bryan and Rascal Flatts.
