Jennifer Lopez’s performance causes controversy at AMAs 2025

Jennifer Lopez opened the 2025 American Music Awards with a high-energy medley that immediately sparked debate. As the host of the evening, she opened the show at Fontainebleau Las Vegas with a six-minute routine packed with choreography and a surprising twist.

Her performance began with a slowed-down take on her 2012 track “Dance Again,” before shifting into a rapid-fire mix of 23 songs. Lopez danced to some of the year’s most popular hits, including Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” Bad Bunny’s “NUEVAYoL,” Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather,” “Denial Is a River” by Doechii, “A Bar Song” by Shaboozey, and “APT” by Bruno Mars and Rosé.

The biggest surprise of the night came during Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” when Lopez shared onstage kisses with both male and female backup dancers. The moment quickly spread on social media, where some viewers were caught off guard.

While some viewers weren’t impressed, others praised her stamina and dedication. One user wrote, “Why is jennifer lopez kissing everybody at the #AMAs.” Another commented, “Isn’t it pathetic that every award show has to devolve into this weird crap? Jennifer Lopez is 55 fricken years old. This is an embarrassing cry for attention. Sad.”

Comedian Tiffany Haddish also referenced the moment while announcing R&B nominees. She  joked, “Save a dancer for me, J.Lo, d***! You ain’t the only one that’s single.” Lopez’s recent split from Ben Affleck also added to the attention.

The ceremony also featured tributes to music icons: Janet Jackson was honored with the Icon Award and gave her first live TV performance in seven years, while Rod Stewart received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
