Jennifer Lopez launched the American Music Awards with Gusto on Monday evening, opening with a six -minute dance routine to 23 strokes of last year, then changing outfits eight times when she organized the evening. She also changed her tour plans, announcing a residence in Las Vegas in place of the world tour she canceled last summer.
“Surprise Jlovers! We are back! I make a residence in Las Vegas!”, She wrote Monday evening on social networks.
Lopez will play a dozen dates at Colosseum at Caesars Palace, from December 30 and spread until March 28, in his residence “Up All Night”. Tickets will be on sale on June 6.
The singer “On the Floor” withdrew from the tour of the summer of 2024 almost exactly a year ago, saying – in the midst of rumors that she and the husband Ben Affleck lived – she needed “free time to be with her children, her family and her close friends”. Months later, while the public parties of their relationship seemed to point out, she asked for the divorce of the winner of the Oscar “Argo”.
But Monday evening in Vegas – the clusters went down to La Fontaineble on the strip – Lopez put the spotlight on others, including Janet Jackson, who played publicly for the first time in seven years and accepted the Icon Prize, awarded to an interpreter whose work has had a major influence on pop music worldwide.
The previous recipients include Lionel Richie in 2022 and Rihanna in 2013.
Rod Stewart won the 2025 prize for success for life, while Gracie Abrams was appointed new artist of the year. Billie Eilish won seven prizes in categories including the song of the year, the album of the year, the women’s pop star and the favorite tour artist.
