Jennifer Lopez wasn’t buggin’ when a creepy crawler interrupted one of her recent shows.
In a bada– moment from a concert posted to an official JLo fan account’s Instagram Sunday (Aug. 10), the singer-actress keeps totally calm while singing a tender ballad, even as a large cricket crawls up her chest and onto her neck. Right as the song finishes, Lopez grabs the cricket and whisks it aside in perfect time with the percussion fading away. “It was tickling me!” she tells the crowd, laughing.
In the caption, her fan account wrote, “Plot twist: @JLo just started rehearsals for Kiss of the Cricket Woman… on stage… in real time,” referencing the upcoming Lopez-led film Kiss of the Spider Woman.
The cricket cameo comes on the tail end of the performer’s Up All Night tour, which kicked off in Spain in July. Following a penultimate show in Kazakhstan on Sunday, Lopez is set to close out the trek on Tuesday (Aug. 12) in Italy. After the tour, she’ll play a handful of dates at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas with shows planned for this December as well as January and March of next year.
And while her run-in with the cricket is certainly memorable, it’s not the first time Lopez has handled an onstage snafu with style. When she suffered a wardrobe malfunction at a recent performance, for instance, the musician — whose skirt inexplicably fell off her body mid-show — shrugged it off like a pro.
“I’m glad I had underwear on,” she joked with the crowd. “I don’t usually wear underwear.”
