Jennifer Lopez, the iconic singer and actress, is preparing for an exciting role as the host of the upcoming American Music Awards (AMAs), but she faced a minor setback during rehearsals. The 55-year-old star shared the news with her followers on Instagram on May 13, revealing that she suffered an accident while practicing for the big event.

Lopez posted a picture of herself icing above her nose, captioning it, “So… this happened,” followed by another photo showing a cut across the bridge of her nose. Despite the injury, the “On The Floor” hitmaker stayed positive, reassuring fans with another image of herself with Dr. Diamond, who treated her wound. “A week later and a whole lotta ice, and I’m good as new,” Lopez shared.

The AMAs are set to take place on May 26th at the BleauLive Theater in Las Vegas, giving Lopez less than two weeks to heal before she takes the stage. This year marks her second time hosting the prestigious event, a decade after her first appearance in 2015.

Lopez’s hosting role was officially announced on April 9th by the CEO of Dick Clark Productions, who praised her “incredible talent and incomparable stage presence,” noting her ability to bring a one-of-a-kind energy to the awards show. As fans eagerly await the event, they can expect Lopez to shine on stage, making her hosting debut even more memorable despite the recent accident.
With just days left until the show, Lopez is determined to recover fully and bring her trademark energy to the AMAs stage, ensuring a spectacular celebration to kick off the summer.
