Overview
- Lopez said a large cricket landed on her neck during a slow, spotlighted song on her 2025 Up All Night tour stop in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
- She told SmartLess hosts that she felt the bug crawl up her neck and stayed still to finish the line instead of screaming.
- Video of the August 2025 moment shows Lopez flicking the insect off and telling the crowd, "It was tickling me," which later circulated widely online.
- Lopez described the insect as unusually large and said its departure looked like "air traffic," comments she made on the SmartLess episode that aired Monday, June 15.
- The retelling has generated renewed media coverage and fan jokes, and outlets note the anecdote comes as Lopez continues a busy 2026 slate of music releases and film projects.
