On May 26, 2025, Jennifer Lopez opened the American Music Awards with an energetic and provocative performance.
The 55-year-old star, who also hosted the event, kicked off the night with her 2012 hit “Dance Again,” followed by a medley of recent popular songs including Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” “Die With a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, and hits from artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Kendrick Lamar, Shaboozey, Chappell Roan, and Beyoncé.
One of the most talked-about moments was when Lopez kissed both three of her backup dancer on stage, which quickly went viral and sparked wide reactions on social media.
After the performance, she took a moment to honor Memorial Day by saluting veterans. This marked her second time hosting the AMAs, the first being in 2015.
