That’s got to hurt.
Jennifer Lopez, 55, sustained an injury to her face during rehearsals for the upcoming American Music Awards, she revealed May 13.
The “Jenny from the Block” singer, who will host the awards ceremony on CBS, took to her Instagram story to share a photo of herself holding an ice pack up to her eye, along with the caption, “So this happened.” The following photo showed that Lopez appeared to have bruising under her eye and a cut on her nose, and she noted that the injury occurred “during @amas rehearsals.”
Lopez also shared a photo showing her standing next to a plastic surgeon, Dr. Diamond. “Thank you for stitching me up Dr. Diamond,” the singer wrote. “A week later and a whole lotta ice, I’m good as new.”
USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Lopez and Dick Clark Productions, producer of the American Music Awards, for more information.

“Jennifer’s incredible talent and incomparable stage presence make her the ideal host of the show,” Dick Clark Productions CEO Jay Penske previously said. “We know she will bring her one-of-a-kind energy to the official kick off celebration of summer.”
The AMAs will mark a musical return for Lopez, who in 2024 canceled her North American summer tour. An announcement at the time said the “Hustlers” star, who also split from Ben Affleck last year, would be taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.
“I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,” Lopez said at the time. “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…”
The 2025 American Music Awards will air May 26 on CBS and Paramount+.
