Jennifer Lopez Handles Onstage ‘Cricket Crisis’ Like a Pro During Kazakhstan Show

Jennifer Lopez proved once again why she’s a seasoned performer, keeping her cool during an unexpected — and very unusual — onstage moment.

While performing in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on August 10 as part of her Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour, the singer was mid-song when a large cricket suddenly crawled up her dress and toward her neck.

Instead of panicking, Lopez calmly grabbed the insect and tossed it aside — without missing a single note. Flashing a smile to the crowd, she quipped, “It was tickling me,” before seamlessly continuing her performance.

Fans praised her composure and professionalism. One wrote, “She is just the best! Really fun moment but so professional at the same time!” Another commented, “The cricket walking on her neck and she’s just chill, finishing the song like nothing’s going on. Then at the end, she takes the bug off with total class! If it were me, I’d be screaming already!”
