NBCUniversal Telemundo Upfronts: Jennifer Lopez Teams Up With Network For Collaborations

With a sexy, white mini dress that showed off her best assets, Jennifer Lopez celebrated the NBCUniversal Telemundo upfront early this week.

The Puerto Rican actress and singer was invited by network to perform at a private concert exclusively for the network's advertising, according to Billboard. According to a press statement released by Telemundo, the concert was in celebration of the network's success in 2015.

Lopez's gig, which took place at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan in New York City, was also in celebration of the superstar's fresh alliance with the network. Billboard reported that Lopez’s performance would be "one of several collaborations with the network, including a performance at the 2017 Billboard Latin Music Awards."

While we wait for the new projects, Lopez continues to make the rounds with her empowering jam "I Ain't Your Mama." "I gotta’ have fun some time. I love the whole empowerment message. Getting what we deserve and not being taken for granted. And it’s great doing it in a fun way," she expressed in an interview at the event's blue carpet.
