Well that rules out Kylie ever having a chance lol 

She is the last Roc Nation artist with hits. If her next tour does well, I think she might stand a chance in the following year. And that should wrap up the partnership.

She doesn't have a lot of well known songs in America though, let alone with the NFL audience

The first Superbowl he was involved with was Shakira + JLo.

No wonder he had them share a stage for 12 minutes when they both deserved a solo show.

Roc Nation entered into partnership with NFL in Aug 2019, it was still sponsored by Pepsi.
his first choice were Shakira and JLo. Shakira was signed to Roc Nation at the time.

That's interesting and maybe explains why jlo eventually said she didn't like sharing the stage. Probably jlo was already in talks to headline and Jayz inserted shakira sincs was on his label?

Don't blame either of the ladies if they felt disrespected by being asked to co headline though

All of the shows since Roc/Apple have taken over have been so boring.

She left Roc Nation after KMO flopped and kind of blamed a lot of issues on the label

his label promised her a lot and delivered nothing

So he did:

1. JLo and Shakira

2. The Weeknd

3. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar

4. Rihanna

5. Usher

6. Kendrick Lamar

I mean all of these have been better than Justin Timberlake and Maroon 5 but I wish they'd do something different like Daft Punk (I've been asking for this more than a decade and they retired now) or something more like Queen + Adam Lambert. I don't understand how this last one hasn't happened yet, it's a legendary act.

Good. He's been a taste maker for decades and the switch up in vibes has been refreshing.

Honestly I don't think Queen should ever do the Superbowl without Freddie. Continuing to tour etc is one thing, doing something Freddie will never be able to is another. 

Besides Brian May's health is deteriorating so I'm not sure if Queen will continue performing much longer now

I thought Rihanna’s was pretty cool. I think the bigger issue is by the time we got to the partnership most of the enormous acts known for incredible shows had already done it

One thing I’ll say though is that they brought hip hop to the superbowl which I think is cool and important. Diversity in the music showcased is refreshing
