Her performance drew praise for its intensity, versatility, and dance-driven spectacle, reinforcing her status as a multi-talented entertainer.
Now, anticipation is sky-high. With years of experience and even more star power under her belt, Jennifer Lopez is expected to outdo herself, delivering a performance fans won't forget.
