Jennifer Lopez, recently single, celebrated the 50th anniversary of the American Music Awards or AMAs, emphasizing how "music has the power to heal, uplift, and connect us all." This year’s musical special included pre-recorded interviews with previous AMA winners, such as Carrie Underwood, Gloria Estefan, and Lopez, as well as five-time host Jimmy Kimmel.
During her segment, Lopez reflected on her most memorable AMA moments, noting that performing a tribute to the late Celia Cruz in 2013 was among the highlights of her career. She praised Cruz as a global icon, and expressed that the AMAs have showcased the magic of music for half a century. Now, she looks forward to the next 50 years of music and entertainment.
Lopez also reminisced about watching the AMAs as a child, describing her first performance in 2001 as an electrifying experience. Winning a fan-voted award, she shared, is especially meaningful, as it comes directly from the people who appreciate the music. Reflecting on hosting the AMAs in 2015, Lopez fondly recalled performing a dance medley to the year’s hits and changing outfits for every appearance, a testament to her dedication to creating an unforgettable experience.
The AMAs, which have become a hallmark of pop culture, will return in May with their annual ceremony, continuing to celebrate artists and musical moments that resonate with audiences around the world.
