Jennifer Lopez proved once again why she’s one of the most unshakable performers in the world — even when the unexpected strikes. During her Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour stop in Almaty, Kazakhstan on Sunday, August 10, the 56-year-old superstar had a surprising — and slightly creepy — encounter mid-performance.
The Unexpected Guest on Stage

As Lopez stood at the microphone, dazzling the audience with her signature powerhouse vocals, a large cricket began its journey up her dress, eventually crawling toward her neck. Fans watching from the crowd could clearly see the insect’s slow ascent under the stage lights.
Despite the situation, Lopez didn’t miss a single note. Without flinching, she calmly reached up, grabbed the cricket, and tossed it to the side of the stage. Smiling at the audience, she explained with a laugh, “It was tickling me.”
Footage of the moment quickly surfaced online via her official fan account, with a cheeky caption: “Plot twist: @JLo just started rehearsals for Kiss of the Cricket Woman… on stage… in real time. 😂💋🦗” The joke was a nod to her upcoming film Kiss of the Spider Woman, set for release this fall.
J.Lo’s Grace Under Pressure
Fans flooded social media with praise for her cool, collected handling of the surprise visitor. “Always a professional,” one person commented, while another wrote, “I would have collapsed right there — but she handled it like a queen!”
The cricket incident comes just weeks after another onstage mishap in Warsaw, Poland, where Lopez’s glittery skirt unexpectedly fell off during a show. Instead of panicking, she owned the moment, joking with the crowd, “I’m out here in my underwear… That’s gonna be everywhere.”
From wardrobe malfunctions to unexpected wildlife encounters, Jennifer Lopez continues to prove she can turn any performance hiccup into a moment fans will never forget. Whether she’s fending off crickets or strutting in underwear, one thing’s certain — the show always goes on.
