Jennifer Lopez is going viral after an unexpected guest joined her during a recent performance of her Up All Night: Live tour.
During a concert in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on Sunday, August 10, the singer shocked the audience when a large cricket crawled up her dress.
As she sang into the microphone, concertgoers began to scream as the critter made its way up Lopez’s body, eventually moving to her neck.
Without missing a beat, Lopez flicked the cricket off in one smooth motion, saying to the crowd, “It was tickling me,” before continuing on with her performance.

In a video of the incident shared by Lopez’s official fan account on Instagram, the caption joked, “Plot twist: @JLo just started rehearsals for Kiss of the Cricket Woman … on stage … in real time. 😂💋🦗.”
The “Kiss of the Cricket Woman” mention was a play on Lopez’s upcoming project, Kiss of the Spider Woman, a new film adaptation of the 1993 Broadway classic that’s coming out this fall.
In the comments section, Lopez’s fans praised the singer for staying calm and continuing on with the show without missing a beat.
“The cricket walking on her neck and she’s just chill, finishing the song like nothing’s going on. Then at the end, she takes the bug off with total class! If it were me, I’d be screaming already! 😂😂😂” wrote one fan. “Always a professional.” said another.
“She is just the best! 🩷✨ really fun moment but so professional at the same time! 🦗✨” added a third.
This isn’t the first time Lopez has suffered an onstage mishap recently. On July 25, the singer had a wardrobe malfunction while she was performing in Warsaw, Poland.
During her show at the PGE Narodowy stadium, Lopez thanked fans for coming out to see her, when a glittery skirt she was wearing snapped off her body and fell to the stage floor.
However, like the most recent incident, she played it off like a professional.
“I’m out here in my underwear,” Lopez joked, as a backup dancer approached her with the skirt and attempted to put it back on. “That’s gonna be everywhere.”
