Jennifer Lopez Leaves Fans In Shock As She Simulates X-Rated Act On Stage

Jennifer Lopez debuted some suggestive choreography and simulated an X-rated act on stage during a recent European tour stop.

The ‘On The Floor’ singer shocked audiences at the Cook Music Festival in Tenerife on Saturday night with her most provocative performance to date, featuring explicit choreography that divided fans and critics alike.

The 55-year-old superstar, currently on her ‘Up All Night Live Tour’ – her first in six years – delivered a performance that pushed boundaries even by pop music standards.

Dressed in a revealing silver thong bodysuit with strategic cutouts, Lopez engaged in a series of suggestive positions with her male dancers throughout the show.

The performance included several eye-catching moments that quickly went viral on social media.

It’s sparked intense debate online, with critics arguing the performance was inappropriate for a mom of two, while supporters defended Lopez’s artistic freedom and praised her confidence at 55.

Beyond the provocative choreography, Lopez used the Tenerife concert to debut a deeply personal new song that many interpret as a direct response to her recent divorce from Ben Affleck.

Introducing the track, Lopez told the audience: “This is a new song that I want to sing for the first time tonight that came to me when I was up all night one night. Shall we sing this one for the people?”

The emotional ballad featured lyrics that appeared to address her healing process following the split: “The love I want, the love I need, it starts in me,” and: “Thank you for the scars you left on my heart, was showing me that stars shine brighter in the dark.”

In what seemed like a definitive statement about her future, Lopez sang: “I won’t let you no longer, longer, ever say goodbye to me” and: “Now watch me climb out of the wreckage of you.”

She concluded by thanking her unnamed ex ‘for the pain that you caused,’ suggesting the experience had ultimately made her stronger.

The provocative performance comes as Lopez navigates life after her high-profile divorce from Ben Affleck.

The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2021 and married in 2022, filed for divorce in August 2024 on their second wedding anniversary.

In a May interview with El Pais, Lopez described the split as a ‘difficult time’ but expressed pride in how she had navigated the challenges.

“I’m proud of myself for that and I’m proud that I was able to navigate my children through difficult times, that they’re stronger and better because of it,” she said.

Lopez’s Tenerife performance fits into a broader trend of increasingly provocative pop concert experiences.

Artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Kesha have faced similar criticism for explicit performances, with Carpenter recreating different positions nightly during her tour and Kesha incorporating banana-related choreography that simulated an X-rated act.

The trend has generated significant backlash, particularly when performers have younger fan bases. However, defenders argue that these artists are expressing their s**uality and creativity on their own terms.

Lopez was seen crawling on all fours in front of a shirtless dancer, being lifted onto another performer’s shoulders in a compromising position, and straddling one dancer while placing her hands between the legs of two others, The Express Tribune reports.

Her backup dancers, showcasing their physiques in minimal clothing consisting of trousers and white corsets, served as willing participants in the provocative routine.

Despite the controversy, Lopez’s continues across Europe, with recent stops in Budapest and other major cities.

The tour represents a significant comeback for the entertainer, who canceled her 2024 U.S. summer tour amid personal struggles related to her divorce.
