Jennifer Lopez’s appearance during the 50th anniversary special of the American Music Awards (AMAs) was a sentimental and reflective moment. In the pre-taped interview aired on October 6, Lopez reminisced about her long-standing relationship with the AMAs, stretching back to her first appearance in 2001. She fondly recalled growing up watching the AMAs and how it was “incredible” to be part of the ceremony that has been celebrating music for half a century. Lopez’s warm reflections were accompanied by footage of her 2001 performance, which she humorously commented on, noting how long ago it felt yet how electric the atmosphere had been.

Dressed in a chic pink pussy-bow silk blouse for the interview, Lopez also emphasized the special bond she shares with the AMAs, particularly the significance of fan-voted awards. She highlighted her 2011 win as Favorite Latin Artist as one of those humbling moments where she felt the direct love and appreciation from her fans.
The star also looked back at her experience hosting the AMAs in 2015, calling it a “huge honor.” Lopez shared how she embraced the challenge of changing outfits for every appearance on stage and how she led a dance medley featuring the biggest hits of that year, wanting to spread love and energy to the audience. As she fondly reflected on that year’s hosting, Lopez even hinted at a possible return to hosting in the future.
Despite the celebratory tone of her AMA reflections, Lopez’s appearance comes amid her ongoing separation from actor Ben Affleck. Although the two were recently spotted having lunch with their children, sources confirm they are still proceeding with their divorce and are focusing on co-parenting.
Lopez’s closing remarks during the AMA special captured the enduring power of music to uplift and connect people. She expressed her excitement about the future of the AMAs, saying, “I’m excited for the next 50 years of music and magic.”
