Los Angeles- Actress-singer Jennifer Lopez has shared details of a bizarre and unforgettable moment from her 2025 concert in Kazakhstan, when a large cricket crawled up her neck while she was performing on stage.
Speaking on the SmartLess podcast, hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, Lopez reflected on the now-viral incident that occurred during a performance in Almaty.
Recalling the moment, the singer said she was performing a slow Spanish song under a single spotlight when the unexpected visitor appeared.
“It was a quiet moment in the show,” Lopez said, explaining that she had noticed small bugs flying around throughout the evening. As she continued singing, she suddenly heard loud screams from the audience.
“At first, I thought it was part of the normal reaction during that section of the song,” she said. “Then I realized something was wrong.”
Lopez revealed that a large cricket had landed on her and was slowly crawling up her neck.
“I was standing there singing, and this huge bug was crawling up my neck. I could feel it,” she said.
Despite being startled, Lopez remained composed and finished the final line of the song before reacting.
She later joked that the insect was so large it looked “like a helicopter” when it eventually flew away toward the stage lights.
“Honestly, it was kind of horrible,” Lopez admitted. “If I had known how big it was, I probably would have been screaming.”
The incident took place during a concert on her Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour in August last year. At the time, she briefly addressed the audience, saying, “It was tickling me,” before continuing her performance.
A video of the moment later went viral online, with a fan account humorously captioning it as a rehearsal for “Kiss of the Cricket Woman,” a playful reference to the unexpected onstage encounter.
The episode has since become one of the most talked-about moments from Lopez’s 2025 tour, showcasing her professionalism in continuing the performance despite the unusual interruption.
