The 2020 Super Bowl featured a uniquely engaging and fun halftime show courtesy of Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, but one of the night's highlights came from another source altogether Emme Muñiz, the eleven-year-old daughter of Lopez and ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Muñiz shared the stage with her mother and Shakira, joining a children's choir to sing Let's Get Loud and soloing flawlessly on Lopez's cover of Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A.
Lopez performed the song while clad in a double-sided American and Puerto Rican flag, a clear political statement about Lopez's identity as the Bronx-born daughter of Puerto Rican parents.

Anthony couldn't contain his parental pride at Muñiz's big moment, tweeting, "Emme Daddy is so proud of you. You are my love and I am forever yours.”
Muñiz has a twin brother, Max, and will soon inherit two new stepsisters, Ella and Natasha, when Lopez weds fiance Alex Rodriguez.
The family was in attendance to watch Lopez and Muñiz wow the crowd at the Super Bowl, with Lopez joking in an interview with Good Morning America, You know, Alex, he’ll be as close as he can get to that stage. Alex and all of our kids will be watching and they’ll all be in the stadium."
This isn't Muñiz's first foray into music; last year, she blew people away with her cover of Alicia Keys' If I Ain't Got You, and she regularly accompanied her mother on her song "Limitless" while on tour,her appearance during the Super Bowl halftime show, however, was the tween's most public moment thus far, which suggests she might be primed to pursue a singing career of her own.
