Jennifer Lopez staged a dramatic comeback to the stage at the 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs), breaking the show open with a daring and memorable performance that spread like wildfire on social media. On May 27, the event opened with J.Lo doing a fast-paced dance medley featuring a slowed rendition of her 2012 song Dance Again. But it was her sultry on-stage kissing with several backup dancers that really left the audience agog and abuzz on social media.
Divided Reactions to Provocative Performance
While some lauded the 54-year-old pop star for her brazen stage presence, others were divided on the provocative choreography. Nevertheless, Lopez’s power to own the limelight still is undeniable, affirming her reputation as one of the world’s best performers.
Opening Up About Divorce and Family
Behind the scenes, Lopez has also been frank about the private struggle she experienced during the last year. In a recent sit-down interview with El PaÃs, she was frank about her break-up with Ben Affleck, admitting that she had an emotional conversation with 17-year-old twins Max and Emme about ending the relationship. She kept things open and honest with them, saying she would emerge from the experience “stronger and better.”
