Overview

• At the Lucca Summer Festival in Italy, Lopez paused her set to confess she sometimes likes it “hard” or “slow,” underscoring her control over her provocative stage image.
• The onstage revelations follow Kelly’s July 21 repost of a Tenerife performance clip on X, in which the commentator labeled Lopez a “soft porn star.”
• Lopez has not publicly addressed Kelly’s comments directly, but her new song “Up All Night” and bold choreography suggest a deliberate embrace of her sensual style.
• Social media reactions remain split, with supporters praising Lopez’s empowerment message and detractors echoing Kelly’s concerns over overt sexuality from a 55-year-old performer.
• The singer’s Up All Night: Live tour continues across Europe through mid-August before she begins a Las Vegas residency in December, as the cultural debate over performance boundaries carries on.
