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.

J.Lo Shimmers in a Crystal-Covered Catsuit at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Jennifer Lopez's tour de force continues. The superstar was the headliner at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix this weekend in Jeddah—her show being the latest in a string of concerts she has put on around the world this year—and her looks were as explosive as her performance. On Sunday, Lopez embraced her maximalist, pop diva aesthetic by slipping into a midnight-blue catsuit entirely covered in Swarovski crystals. The jewels shimmered as danced, and to add to the drama, she wore a matching bejeweled hat. The 'On the Floor' singer finished her concert fit with sky-high platform heels. And, while she eschewed jewelry, she capped off her look with her signature bombshell waves, shimmery makeup, and long lashes. It was one of the many fits she wore to perform. Others included a glittery black-and-white bodysuit, a flaming red number, and a gold ensemble with dangling tassels all over. A day prior, Lopez showed out in another bold ensemble. It was a bubblegum-pink leather catsuit adorned with striped mauve detailing that ran down her legs, arms, and front zipper. The piece also featured a faux silk belt with a silver key ring—all very Y2K. 'Thank you @F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Jeddah for an unforgettable night…it was so good to be there with everyone… can't wait to see you all this summer! #UpAllNight #JLoLiveIn2025 @mdlbeast @saudiarabiangp' the singer captioned an Instagram post featuring a video of her show at the racing event.

Thousands rock at music shows in Jeddah after F1
JEDDAH: The past two days were filled with high-speed thrills and electrifying musical performances as the Formula One Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025 took over the city. The after-race concerts, held at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, were headlined by global music icons Jennifer Lopez and Usher, who lit up the stage on Saturday and Sunday night. The party began right after a thrilling qualifying race, when Lopez stepped on stage. Wearing a dazzling black skintight catsuit, the 55-year-old icon made a bold and unforgettable entrance for an adoring crowd. From the opening beats of 'Get Right' to the final fireworks of 'On the Floor,' Lopez delivered a show packed with powerhouse vocals, explosive choreography, and pure star energy. The Bronx-born singer, who has sold over 80 million records and earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, treated fans to a string of hits including 'Jenny from the Block,' 'Ain't It Funny,' 'I'm Real,' and 'Love Don't Cost a Thing.' 'This is an incredible place with an incredible backdrop for F1,' Lopez told the crowd, glowing with excitement. 'It feels good to be back out here. I love the energy here. I am feeling myself a little bit here.' In an emotional moment, the singer told the crowd: 'Love is feeling safe, love is secured, that's what love is.' JLo graced the stage in a series of stunning outfits, changing into a red suit, followed by a golden one, and finishing the show in pink. The audience responded with roaring applause, with many in tears. 'JLo brought the energy, the heart, and the glam,' said Reem Al-Sharif, a 29-year-old from Jeddah. 'When she talked about love, I really felt that. She's not just a performer, she's a storyteller.' Ramadan Al-Haratani, CEO of MDLBEAST, said: 'This is what cultural tourism through entertainment looks like. The music doesn't just support the race weekend, it transforms it.' The following night, Usher, the king of smooth R&B, delivered a thrilling performance that brought the Grand Prix to a stylish and electrifying close. Dressed in an edgy all-black ensemble, Usher commanded the stage with his signature swagger. The Grammy-winning artist took fans on a journey through two decades of hits, from the crowd-hyping 'Yeah!' to slow jams including 'Nice & Slow,' 'U Got It Bad,' and 'My Boo.' His charisma, vocals, and iconic dance moves had fans on their feet all night. 'This was my first time seeing Usher live, and it was worth every second,' said Talal Saleh, another concertgoer. 'His connection with the crowd, the performance, everything was perfect. He even brought some nostalgic 2000s magic to Jeddah.' Lina Al-Mansour, who attended both concerts, said: 'The entire experience felt like a music festival and a Formula 1 race rolled into one. It was world-class entertainment right here in Jeddah. 'I never imagined seeing JLo and Usher in my hometown.' The concerts also featured supporting acts including Major Lazer and Peggy Gou, who kept the crowd hyped between the headliners.
