If you blinked, you might’ve missed it — but Jennifer Lopez just set the 2025 American Music Awards on fire with an opening medley that packed 23 songs into six unforgettable minutes. Yes, you read that right. Twenty-three. Songs. Six. Minutes.
J.Lo, rocking a shimmering nude jumpsuit that screamed “I’m here to own this stage,” kissed not one, but two dancers during the electric performance — a male dancer and a female dancer — and fans and celebrities lost it. Because, duh, that’s iconic energy.
Her medley wasn’t just a walk down memory lane with hits like “Dance Again” from 2012. It was also a slick mashup featuring Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather,” Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” Charli XCX & Billie’s “Guess,” Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things,” Bad Bunny’s “NUEVAYoL,” Tinashe’s “Nasty,” and more. Basically, the AMAs just became the ultimate playlist.
The excitement spilled over when Tiffany Haddish hit the stage afterward, giving props to J.Lo for the epic opener. “How cool is it to have a total superstar like J.Lo hosting the AMAs?” Haddish joked, suggesting the show should be renamed the “JMAs” this year.
“Jenny from the Block just danced through 23 hits in six minutes. And those kisses? Girl’s already got her steps and smooches in for the night,” Haddish quipped. Then she added with perfect sass, “Save a dancer for me, J.Lo. Damn! You ain’t the only one out here single.”
(Yes, Haddish, the post-divorce energy is real — Lopez and Ben Affleck finalized their split earlier this year.)
For her part, Haddish isn’t holding back on her dating game either, recently revealing on Late Night with Seth Meyers that she’s “dating multiple people,” running a whole “team” of suitors.
The 2025 AMAs, hosted by Jennifer Lopez, aired live from Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Monday, May 26. If you missed it — don’t worry, the internet won’t let you forget.
