Jennifer Lopez Performs At The Amas
As songs like “On the Floor,” “Good Luck Babe!,” “Squabble Up,” and “Denial is a River” played, JLo jumped, spun, and was carried across the stage dressed in a mostly-nude catsuit adorned with sequins and patches of fabric covering her modesty.
Speaking to USA Today ahead of the show, the four-time divorcée explained that the AMAs “has been such a big part of my music journey and history.” She’s won three awards over the years. Just before her opening dance number, JLo teased, “We’re going to celebrate the year in music.”

Social Media Reactions
Video clips of Lopez's performance have been splashed across various social media platforms, and unfortunately for the actress, the general consensus is that her dance number was a bit over the top. "She getting desperate now," one person wrote.
"Attention seeker," another person said, while a third asked, "Is she having a mid-life crisis?"
"The desperation to remain relevant is pathetic," one person said.
"Grow up and act your age!" one user posted. "She has no class!"
"This is just so cringey to me," a final person said. "How could she not see this?"
