‘Embarrassing’: Jennifer Lopez, 55, Sparks Heated Reactions After ‘Kissing Everybody’ During Her AMAs Performance — Video
The 55-year-old actress lit up the American Music Awards stage — then lit up the internet.
Opening this year’s AMA, Jennifer Lopez delivered a six-minute medley packed with rapid transitions through 23 of her hit songs. But the moment that took the spotlight wasn’t a dance move or a vocal riff — it was a series of on-stage kisses, which sparked a wave of reactions online.
Dressed in a glittering, circuit-inspired bodysuit, Lopez commanded the stage with electrifying presence and sharp, high-energy movement. Mid-performance, she kissed three of her backup dancers in a series of fluid, unexpected moments woven seamlessly into the routine.
The surprise moments unfolded during a moody, slowed-down segment set to Teddy Swims’ ballad “Lose Control,” adding a sensual twist to the otherwise fast-paced routine. As the crowd watched in real-time, Tiffany Haddish was caught reacting with surprise and later quipped backstage, “She’s kissing everybody!”
The performance sparked instant reactions online. One viewer brushed off the moment, “What is the big deal 
I don’t get it 
?” Others found it less palatable. “This is not what younger generations want to see. Embarrassing,” a second commented.
Another expressed concern about the impact on Lopez’s teenage children, “Just… I mean… I’m all about women being themselves and living their best life…. BUT… at what point do you think about your teenage kids seeing this all over social media and caring what they think? 
”
Others praised the choreography while questioning the final flourish, saying, “Performance was good but this kissing part wasn’t necessary.”
