Jennifer Lopez Kisses Male and Female Backup Dancers During Bold AMAs 2025 Opening Performance

At the 2025 American Music Awards in Las Vegas, Jennifer Lopez delivered a provocative opening performance that has sparked widespread discussion. The 55-year-old entertainer and host performed a high-energy medley of 23 of the year’s top hits, including tracks by Kendrick Lamar, Billie Eilish, and Bad Bunny. During the performance, Lopez surprised audiences by kissing both a male and a female backup dancer on stage, a moment that drew comparisons to the iconic 2003 MTV VMAs kiss shared by Britney Spears, Madonna, and Christina Aguilera. While some praised the performance’s energy and Lopez’s enduring stage presence, others criticized the act as inappropriate. Comedian Tiffany Haddish humorously acknowledged Lopez’s bold moment during the show. Despite mixed reactions, Lopez appeared unfazed, emphasizing her joy in performing and celebrating music.
