Lopez has previously opened up about how much the show meant to her, specifically because her 12-year-old daughter, Emme, joined her on the stage.
“I got emotional because we did, we worked so hard,” she previously told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. “We started rehearsing in November for my set. It was just, every single day… it’s a short amount of time. You know what I mean, but so much goes into that moment. But it’s hundreds of people, they put that stage together in seven minutes and then you get on it, and you rock. It’s just crazy. It is such a big deal. And I’m just glad everybody liked it! That’s why I got emotional”.
