In the middle of her set, the cricket made its way onto Lopez’s shoulder and began creeping toward her neck. She swept it away in stride, never breaking rhythm, as the audience erupted in applause. The moment is now being circulated online.
Fans flooded the comments with praise for her composure. “Didn’t even flinch! Professional level❤️” wrote one, while another added, “my shayla omg 😭😭 she nailed it like a pro [sic].”
“She is just the best! 🩷✨ really fun moment but so professional at the same time! 🦗✨,” one person wrote, while another joked, “Some lucky bug ❤️.”
Several fans admitted they wouldn’t have been so calm. “Handled it so well, I would have collapsed right there 😂🤍👏🏻,” said one, with another calling it, “Absolute professionalism in its purest form👏.”
“This was insane 😂👏 iconic! We love you Jenny❤️🇰🇿 always you are welcome [sic] 🫶🏻,” one hailed it as an iconic JLo moment, and another mused, “Only JLo can turn removing a cricket into an iconic moment 😂🤍.”
The viral moment comes as Lopez is in the middle of her “Up All Night Tour,” her first in six years. So far, the music icon has announced five tour stops.
Ahead of one of her stops, Lopez shared on Instagram that the season’s performances were meant to capture a sense of freedom and joy, while also announcing her appearance in Yerevan as part of the tour. In another post, she hinted at seeking an experience or connection that was powerful enough to be unforgettable, tying it to her ongoing tour.
This return to touring comes after a challenging period for Lopez, who told Interview Magazine that canceling a previous tour was a difficult decision made so she could focus on her family and address personal matters, even though she regretted disappointing her fans.
She added that, while the period was one of the most difficult in her life, it ultimately proved to be one of the most rewarding because it gave her the chance to focus on personal growth.
After the 2025 tour ends, Lopez is scheduled to return to Las Vegas for a new residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, running from late December through early January, with additional shows planned for March.
From major tour returns to surprise onstage encounters, Lopez continues to navigate the unexpected with the control and confidence that have marked her long career, keeping audiences curious about the next twist her performances might deliver.
