Jun 29 Review: Jennifer Lopez Throws Her Birthday Party in the Twin Cities

The multi-hyphenate entertainer put on a high-budget extravaganza with impressive dancing and live vocals.

Jennifer Lopez brought her second-ever solo headlining tour It’s My Party to Minneapolis-St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center arena on June 28. Here were the best moments:

Lopez donned a cheeky outfit that only covered one side of her derrière. “That’s a party outfit — just one cheek.”
The singer slowed things down early on with an extended sensual section of the show. “I know what you’re thinking — you want some booty!”
In a quick diss to ex Drake, Lopez sang a line of his song “Hotline Bling” and said it was all just a booty call.
Fabulous sets! The runway end stage turned into a giant multi-tiered cake, complete with video screens.
An over the top amount of dancers kept the night visually intriguing and was on brand with her TV show, World of Dance.
A confessional atmosphere. Lopez admitted her fans have helped her back up again after every fall in her life or career.
The dancing. Lopez still has it and whenever she put down the microphone, her true abilities shined; she bounced partner-to-partner in an exciting, rapid-paced fashion. The crowd roared after every shameless booty shake.
Bang for your buck. The entire spectacle was over two hours long and featured 22 songs.
A cute family moment happened as Lopez and Marc Anthony’s daughter Emme joined her mom on stage to belt out the Sia-penned “Limitless.” It was just one of many moments Lopez impressed with her live singing.
A birthday rave. J. Lo took it back to the ‘90s with a Day-Glo colored, club fantasy finale. Her biggest hits “Waiting for Tonight” and “On the Floor” never looked better.
