Megyn Kelly has reignited controversy by criticizing Jennifer Lopez's recent concert performance on social media, calling it "soft porn". The former Fox News host didn't hold back when she responded to a now-viral video of the singer's suggestive dance routine with male dancers on her most recent tour.Kelly's comments have sparked heated debate online, with fans disagreeing on J.Lo's performance style and whether Kelly's criticism went too far.Megyn Kelly's comments, shared on X, have fueled an ongoing feud between the two women, which dates back to Kelly's previous public jabs at the pop icon.The controversy erupted when Megyn Kelly shared a clip of Jennifer Lopez performing her hit 'I'm Into You' during her Up All Night: Live in 2025 European tour. In the video, Lopez, 55, dances provocatively with three male backup dancers. Kelly reposted the clip on X, writing, 'So she's a soft porn star now. Great choices!' Her comment immediately stirred backlash and discussion online, with fans and critics debating whether the performance was empowering or excessive.This isn't the first time Lopez has embraced sensual choreography in her routines, her past performances, including the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show with Shakira, have leaned heavily on dance and visual appeal.Kelly's dislike for Lopez isn't new. During a speech at a Trump rally earlier this year, the conservative commentator took a jab at J.Lo, sarcastically commenting on her appearance and celebrating the loss of Lopez's preferred political candidate. In June, Kelly criticized the bodysuit Lopez wore at the 2025 World Pride Festival, calling it 'desperate' in a segment on her show, as per a report by Billboard.Kelly has also referenced Lopez when critiquing other performers, like Usher's 2024 Super Bowl halftime show, saying she was just glad her kids didn't have to see anyone 'expose themselves' on stage, adding, 'Hi J.Lo, Shakira,' in a not-so-subtle swipe.Clearly, Kelly's beef with J.Lo isn't just about one concert clip, it's part of a broader critique of what she sees as Hollywood's oversexualization of female performers.Despite the controversy, Lopez is showing no signs of slowing down. After wrapping up her European dates, she's set to headline a brand-new Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace starting December 30, running through March 2026. Titled Up All Night Live in Las Vegas, the show follows her successful Jennifer Lopez: All I Have residency that ran from 2016 to 2018.While Megyn Kelly's criticism may have sparked a media firestorm, it's unlikely to affect Lopez's plans. The pop star continues to pack venues, draw millions of fans, and make headlines, whether for her music, her fashion, or the drama surrounding her name.This clash between two bold personalities, one a political firebrand, the other a pop culture icon, shows no signs of cooling. If anything, it's just another chapter in the ever-evolving debate over art, expression, and who gets to draw the line.Kelly was reacting to a steamy video of J.Lo's live performance, claiming it crossed the line into soft porn territory.Yes, Kelly has publicly mocked Lopez on numerous occasions, including political rallies and her show.

Is Taylor Swift performing at the Super Bowl halftime show? Here's what the fan theories suggest
Taylor Swift never misses a beat, and the Swifties do not miss an easter egg! 'The Life of a Showgirl' has been on people's minds since the billionaire singer went on her boyfriend's podcast and casually announced one of the most anticipated albums. While the 35-year-old made a dazzling podcast debut, the fans were searching for the easter eggs that would lead to a future timeline, ranging from books, Pinocchio, to a certain topic and number that the singer constantly emphasized. The Swifties are conspiring and marking with red threads that Taylor Swift could potentially perform at the halftime show during the Super Bowl. In the recent podcast appearance with 'New Heights' by the Kelce brothers, the 'Mastermind' singer gave subtle yet unusual hints at the potential NFL and musician's collaboration. Here's a closer look at the theories. What are the Swifities discussing? Mentioning that she was pleased after fans guessed her previous hints, Taylor talked about her sourdough obsession even more so than the upcoming album. 'The sourdough's taken over my life in a huge way. I'm really talking about bread 60 percent of the time now,' she said. Well, a rookie might let this slide, but Swifties and their search engines are powerful than ever. The Super Bowl would be taking place at Levi's Stadium, the hometown of the San Francisco 49ers, whose mascot is none other than (drumrolls please) Sourdough Sam. Furthermore, Taylor Swift randomly mentioned the number '47' twice in the podcast. Knowing that the singer doesn't do random things, the Swifities did their work. The 47th show of 'The Eras Tour,' the highest-grossing tour, was at Levi Stadium. Well, it's no news that Swift's favourite number is 13, and almost everything about her career revolves around the number. When the two numbers, 47 and 13, add up, it's 60 – the exact percent that she talks about bread nowadays. Moreover, it would be the 60th Super Bowl on February 8, 2026. Will Taylor Swift perform at the Super Bowl halftime show? While many raised eyebrows about the reason she chose Travis Kelce 's sports podcast to announce the upcoming release, the theories suggest that the decision was deeper than that. Not only did Taylor Swift subtly suggest that the album would have songs about the behind-the-scenes of her tour (when Travis and she started dating), but the radar also points at her performance at the Super Bowl's halftime show.
