After a major dance routine to open the AMAs, Jennifer Lopez announces a Vegas residency
Jennifer Lopez kicked off the American Music Awards with gusto Monday night, opening with a six-minute dance routine set to 23 hits from the last year, then changing outfits eight times as she hosted the evening. She also changed her touring plans, announcing a Las Vegas residency in place of the world tour she canceled last summer.
'SURPRISE JLOVERS! We're back! I'm doing a residency in Las Vegas!,' she wrote Monday night on social media.
Lopez will play a dozen dates at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, starting Dec. 30 and spread out through March 28, in her 'Up All Night' residency. Tickets go on sale June 6.
The 'On the Floor' singer backed out of the summer 2024 tour almost exactly a year ago, saying — amid rumors that she and then-husband Ben Affleck were living apart — she needed 'time off to be with her children, family and close friends.' Months later, as the public-facing parts of their relationship seemed to signal it was over, she filed for divorce from the 'Argo' Oscar winner.
But Monday night in Vegas — the AMAs went down at the Fontainebleu on the Strip — Lopez turned the spotlight on others, including Janet Jackson, who performed publicly for the first time in seven years and accepted the Icon Award, given to a performer whose body of work has had a major influence on pop music worldwide.
Previous recipients include Lionel Richie in 2022 and Rihanna in 2013.
Rod Stewart took home the 2025 award for lifetime achievement, while Gracie Abrams was named new artist of the year. Billie Eilish grabbed seven awards in categories including song of the year, album of the year, female pop star and favorite touring artist.
Country music awards went to Post Malone, Dan & Shay, and Beyoncé. Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' took favorite hip-hop song, while Eminem's 'The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)' was named favorite hip-hop album. Doechii's 'Anxiety' was the top social song, Megan Thee Stallion was fave female hip-hop artist, and SZA and the Weeknd won in the female and male R&B singer categories.
A complete list of winners is available on the AMAs website.

How Wes Anderson Devised ‘The Phoenician Scheme' – Crew Call Podcast At Cannes
Oscar winner Wes Anderson returns to Deadline's Crew Call to shed some light on his writing process and how he came up with The Phoenician Scheme, a project he first started breaking around the time of his second Cannes premiere, 2021's The French Dispatch. He was looking for an Anthony Quinn type to play the notorious, yet lovable European magnet, Zsa-zsa Korda, and knew the star of French Dispatch, Oscar winner Benicio del Toro, was the guy. Anderson proceeded to send him pages. More from Deadline David Mamet On Return To Cinema With Self-Distributed 'Henry Johnson', State Of The Industry & J.K. Rowling-Inspired Play He's Writing For Rebecca Pidgeon - Crew Call Podcast Wes Anderson Teases Next Project With Richard Ayoade & Roman Coppola - Cannes 'The Phoenician Scheme' Director Wes Anderson Questions Trump Tariffs: "Does That Mean You Can Hold Up The Movie In Customs?" At a time when many want more films to be shot in the U.S., sometimes, given the Euro nature of Anderson's films, that's not possible. He almost shot Asteroid City in Texas, however, the locale didn't prove to be convenient for the crew; the filmmaker always is looking for a location which can also accommodate his crew. The last movie he shot stateside was his first Cannes premiere, 2012's Moonrise Kingdom, which was lensed in Rhode Island. Phoenician Scheme reps a return to form for Anderson when it comes to the absurdist family comedies, this one loosely inspired by his father-in-law. In the movie, Korda, who is under constant assassination watch, reigns in his estranged daughter, wannabee nun Leisl (Mia Threapleton). He needs an heir and unloads to her a slew of shoeboxes with pieces of his remaining business plans. Anderson discloses here that his wife went through a similar situation; her father looping her in on his master shoebox plan before his death. Anderson's third movie with Focus Features after Moonrise Kingdom and Asteroid City, hits limited NYC and L.A. theaters on May 30 with a wide break on June 6. The pic at 76% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes looks to emulate the specialty box office success of 2023's Asteroid City which grossed north of $28M stateside.
