Tenerife, Spain: Media personality and political commentator Megyn Kelly has ignited a fresh controversy by criticizing Jennifer Lopez’s recent performance at the Cook Music Festival in Tenerife, Spain, describing her as a “soft porn star” due to her sultry dance moves.
So she’s a soft porn star now. Great choices! https://t.co/kNO1FgC6GM

Kelly took to her X (formerly Twitter) account to post a clip from one of Lopez’s recent shows. The video features the 55-year-old pop icon in a white, lace-up unitard, performing a provocative routine surrounded by male dancers. Kelly’s accompanying caption, “So she’s a soft porn star now. Great choices!” sparked immediate debate among fans and critics.
The performance in question was part of Jennifer’s “Up All Night” segment on tour, specifically during her rendition of the 2011 hit “I’m Into You.”
This is not the first time Kelly has targeted Lopez’s onstage persona. In June, she dedicated a segment of “The Megyn Kelly Show” to criticizing Lopez’s revealing outfit at a Pride event in Washington, D.C. At the time, Kelly remarked, “This is a serious problem in our culture. When you have a 56-year-old woman who performs on stage — and this was a Pride event, of course, because J. Lo’s also woke — and thinks it’s really important that she show her vagina to us.”
Jennifer Lopez is known for pushing boundaries in her performances. Recent headline-making moments include a kiss with her dancers during a daring routine at the American Music Awards. This trend of pop stars embracing overtly sexualized performances has been gaining traction, with artists like Sabrina Carpenter also drawing attention for similar bold moves.
