Jennifer Lopez, 55, Sparks Mixed Reactions After Bold Opening Performance at AMAs
Jennifer Lopez opened the 2025 American Music Awards in an energetic fashion, "turning it up" to the biggest hits of the year. This year's host danced "her heart out" with an opening sequence mash-up of 23 songs, but despite being completely breathless by the end of the bold 6-minute performance, not everyone loved what the 55-year-old performer was putting down. "JENNIFER LOPEZ PLEASE STOP DANCING," one viewer wrote on X (formerly Twitter), as another figured it was JLo's Dancing With the Stars reveal, noting, "is this Jennifer Lopez hinting she's gonna be on dwts with this intro #amas." "why is jennifer lopez kissing everybody at the #AMAs" someone questioned, referring to a moment where the "Let's Get Loud" crooner locked lips with male and female dancers, which got plenty of shocked reactions on social media. Tiffany Haddish even made a comment about JLo's single status following the moment, emphasizing the singer's divorce from Ben Affleck. The responses continued, with someone writing, "I'm not hating it but Jennifer Lopez dancing to all the hits doesn't make sense to me," with a second adding, "never in my life did i think i would see jenniferlopez dance to chappell roan." The reactions were divided, as a fair share praised the effort put into the performance, stating, "You can NEVER say Jennifer Lopez isn't one of the best and hardest working performers in the biz." Another tweeted, "Yall could never make me hate Jennifer Lynn Lopez!!!!! #AMAs .:: Mama still be moving and grooving better than girls half her age." In addition to Lopez flaunting her hosting, singing and dancing chops, the 51st American Music Awards, live from Fontainebleau Las Vegas, will honor Janet Jackson, who will receive the prestigious Icon Award and deliver her first live TV performance in seven years and Rod Stewart, who will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award and perform on the AMAs stage for the first time in over two decades.
