Jennifer Lopez is set to make a major appearance at the American Music Awards (AMAs) 50th Anniversary special, even as her divorce proceedings with estranged husband Ben Affleck continue.
According to Daily Mail, Lopez will take the stage during the two-hour retrospective special on October 6. This performance marks a significant moment for the singer, who has long been a fixture at the AMAs. The award show, which first premiered in 1974, will also be making its debut on CBS after 49 years on ABC.
The AMAs’ official Instagram account confirmed Lopez’s upcoming performance, sharing a series of throwback clips from her iconic performances over the years. The post was captioned, “@jlo has been no stranger to the #AMAs over the last 50 years, and she’ll be back this SUNDAY to celebrate the #AMAs50 with us on @cbstv and streaming on @paramountplus.”
In addition to Lopez, other high-profile performers slated for the event include Mariah Carey, Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, and Jennifer Hudson, promising a star-studded night for music lovers.
While Lopez herself has not yet confirmed her participation in the anniversary special, anticipation is high for her appearance. Known for her electrifying performances, her return to the AMA stage is sure to be a highlight.
On the personal front, Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August 2024 after the couple secretly wed in 2022. As they work through their legal proceedings, Lopez continues to focus on her career, with this high-profile performance serving as a testament to her enduring presence in the entertainment world.
Despite the ongoing drama, Lopez remains a powerhouse in the industry, and her performance at the AMAs is set to remind fans why she’s been a leading figure for decades.
