Jennifer Lopez’s Sizzling AMA Kisses Stir Controversy, New Vegas Residency Announced

Jennifer Lopez set the stage ablaze at the American Music Awards, delivering a whirlwind performance of 23 songs in just six minutes. But it wasn’t just her vocal prowess or dance moves that stole the show. Midway through her set, J.Lo shared passionate kisses with both a male and female dancer during a sultry rendition of Teddy Swims’ Lose Control, sending the internet into a frenzy.

The bold moment sparked a polarized reaction. Fans on social media gushed, with one calling it “a performance that’ll live rent-free in my mind!” while others praised her unmatched energy, saying, “She’s in a league of her own.” Critics, however, were less kind, with comments like “vulgar” and “cringe” floating across Instagram. Even celebrities in attendance were floored, with host Tiffany Haddish joking, “Save a dancer for me, J.Lo! You ain’t the only one out here single!”

This PDA-packed performance comes on the heels of Lopez’s high-profile divorce from Ben Affleck, finalized in August 2024 after two years of marriage. Reflecting on life’s lessons, Lopez recently told British Vogue, “Hardships are about learning. There are no coincidences—it’s happening for a reason.” Her resilience shines through, as she admitted to Interview magazine that rekindling her romance with Affleck “almost took me out for good,” but she’s emerged stronger, ready to embrace the next chapter.

Fresh off the AMA stage, Lopez announced her return to Las Vegas with a new residency, Jennifer Lopez: Up All Night Live in Las Vegas, kicking off at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace with shows starting New Year’s Eve week and continuing in March 2026. Clearly, J.Lo’s not slowing down—she’s rewriting the rules, one kiss and one song at a time.
