Pop singer Jennifer Lopez is getting mixed reactions for a move she made during her performance at the 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs) on Monday night.
The 55-year-old was wearing a bedazzled jumpsuit while performing a medley of songs during the show’s opening when she unexpectedly kissed one of the male dancers on stage, then turned to a female dancer and kissed her, too. 
While many fans praised Lopez’s performance, others called it “trashy” and accused the singer of ripping off Madonna, who infamously locked lips with both Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera while performing at the MTV Video Music Awards in August 2003.

“Desperate attempt to return to relevancy,” one reply <a href="https://x.com/PriceOnCulture/status/1927162366136852931">said</a>. 
“Aging rough. Gross,” another person echoed.
“Pretty trashy,” a third commenter <a href="https://x.com/SPMadMax/status/1927216070517043205">wrote</a>.
“I can smell the desperation for attention,” another reply <a href="https://x.com/1UPCJ/status/1927217223623458947">said</a>. “Lady you&#8217;re 55&#8230; stop embarrassing yourself and just call it quits.”
Despite the audience having a negative reaction online, the night’s next presenter had nothing but praise for Lopez. &#8220;How cool is it to have a total superstar like J.Lo hosting the AMAs?&#8221; actress Tiffany Haddish told the audience gathered at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. 
&#8220;Our host has just danced to 23 hits in six minutes,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Just from that opening number alone, Jenny from the Block has got all her steps in for the day, and she got all her kisses in. Save a dancer for me, J.Lo. Damn! You ain&#8217;t the only one out here single.&#8221;  
The night’s big winner was Billie Eilish, who won in all seven categories for which she was nominated, including major accolades such as Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year.
Lopez made headlines last summer when she filed for divorce from actor Ben Affleck, with whom she had been married for about two years. The pair was previously engaged and broke up in 2002, then reconnected years later and made much ado about their rekindled romance. The “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer is currently single.
