Jennifer Lopez delivered a showstopping opening at the 2025 American Music Awards — and it’s not just the fans talking. Celebrities are still buzzing about the steamy moment that had jaws dropping.
J.Lo Heats Up the AMAs Stage With a Record-Breaking Performance
Taking over the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, Jennifer Lopez kicked off the 2025 AMAs with an explosive medley that packed 23 hit songs into just six minutes. The 55-year-old superstar dazzled the crowd in a shimmering nude jumpsuit, moving with the precision and fire of someone decades younger.
Among the electrifying setlist were current chart-toppers like:
-
“Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar
-
“Birds of a Feather” by Billie Eilish
-
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey
-
“Lose Control” by Teddy Swims
-
“NUEVAYoL” by Bad Bunny
-
“Beautiful Things” by Benson Boone
-
“Nasty” by Tinashe
-
And of course, her own 2012 hit “Dance Again”
But it wasn’t just the music that stole the show.
The Kiss Seen Around the World
In a bold and unexpected move, Lopez kissed not one, but two of her dancers — one male and one female — live on stage during her routine. The moment had fans erupting in cheers and instantly lit up social media, with clips of the kiss trending within minutes.
The confident display wasn’t just theatrical — it was a message: Jennifer Lopez is still in control, still fearless, and still on fire.
Tiffany Haddish’s Hilarious On-Stage Reaction: “Save a Dancer for Me!”
Comedian Tiffany Haddish, 45, was quick to react when she hit the stage shortly after the performance. She couldn’t resist shouting out Lopez for her high-octane opener and spicy stage moment.
“How cool is it to have a total superstar like J.Lo hosting the AMAs?” Haddish began, playfully suggesting the show be renamed the “JMAs.”
“Just from that opening number alone, Jenny from the Block has got all her steps in for the day — and she got all her kisses in too!”
And then, the kicker:
“Save a dancer for me, J.Lo. Damn! You ain’t the only one out here single.”
The line had the audience roaring with laughter — a perfect mix of humor and truth.
Lopez’s Single Era — Bold, Free, and Unapologetic
Lopez’s fiery performance comes just months after finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck in January 2025, marking the end of their high-profile marriage that lasted less than two years.
Now single, J.Lo is stepping fully into her power — and clearly enjoying the freedom to express herself both artistically and personally.
Meanwhile, Haddish Is Keeping It Light — and Busy
Tiffany Haddish also recently opened up about her dating life on Late Night with Seth Meyers, revealing she’s dating multiple people — and even keeping a few “veterans” from her old dating roster in the mix.
“There’s a couple holdovers. I’m running a team here,” she joked.
A Performance to Remember — And a Message That Resonates
The 2025 American Music Awards, hosted by Lopez and broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+, proved that J.Lo still knows how to steal the spotlight. From commanding the stage with unmatched energy to sparking viral conversations with a kiss, she’s reminding the world exactly who she is.
Unapologetically bold. Unforgettable. Undeniably J.Lo.
