The Hollywood actress is also glad that she was able to deliver to the audience, as she is aware that “at the end of the day,” everybody enjoyed the energy they brought to the stage.

Jennifer confessed that as much as she thinks the Halftime Show is a lifetime opportunity, she is also happy that it is not her this year and it’s now The Weeknd’s turn, referring to the amount of dedication that took.

The artist, who is set to headline the event on February 7 in Tampa Bay, has also caused controversy after sharing his opinions following the Grammy nominations, claiming that his album should have been considered for the awards.
