Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will perform at the Super Bowl in Miami in February as the N.F.L. tries to restore the cachet of its halftime show.

The two artists were the first chosen for the halftime show since the N.F.L. formed a broad partnership last month with Jay-Z, the music impresario who will help produce entertainment at the Super Bowl and other prominent N.F.L. events, and support the league’s social activism campaign, Inspire Change.

“Ever since I saw Diana Ross fly off into the sky at the Halftime Show, I dreamed of performing at the Super Bowl,” Lopez said in a statement.
