Jennifer Lopez took to the MTV VMAs stage to deliver a jaw-dropping high-octane performance of some of her biggest hits — including “I’m Real” and “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” — before she accepted the Video Vanguard award for her extensive and iconic videography.
Lopez’s dancing skills and singing talent made her the fodder of hundreds of tweets praising her dancing, singing, looks, and longevity.

Jennifer Lopez is such a fucking icon. Whoever is confused to why she’s getting the video vanguard award doesn’t know the impact she had on the music industry

Lopez’s performance included appearances by collaborators DJ Khaled and Ja Rule. As mentioned during the broadcast, Lopez is the first Latinx artist to receive the honor. Long live Lopez!
