Jennifer Lopez has a long history with the American Music Awards. On its 50th anniversary, the singer remembers her performances there – one of them was very special.
Singer Jennifer Lopez looks back on her first performance at the American Music Awards with fond memories. “The energy in the room was electrifying,” said the 55-year-old in a video that the organizer published on the X platform to mark its 50th anniversary. At the same time, she can hardly believe that the performance was 23 years ago: “That was so long ago!”
Jennifer Lopez remembers 2013
The singer remembers her tribute to Cuban-American singer Celia Cruz, which she performed at the 2013 awards, as “one of the most beautiful nights of my life.” Known as the “Queen of Salsa,” Cruz “is an icon around the world,” Lopez said. Her own award for best Latin American artist in 2011 is “incredibly special” because it comes directly from the people for whom Lopez makes her music.
