Jennifer Lopez has taken a leaf out of Britney Spears and Madonna's book and kissed a fellow performer on stage.
Back in 2008, Madonna and Spears shared a kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards, and J.Lo has since followed suit.
Taking to the America Music Awards stage this evening (May 26), the 'Lets Get Loud' hitmaker kissed one of her dancers and left her fans floored.
"JLo kissing her back-up dancer. B*TCH WE WON," one person said in apparent support of the same-sex kiss.

Another person said of the moment while refer to Katy Perry's song: "SHE KISSED A GIRL AND SHE LIKED IT!"

Others noted that Spears and Madonna did it first. Someone said: "Madonna already did this years ago." A second argued: "Britney did it first!"
"Trying to be madonna & britney so bad," said a third.
Away from the kiss, other AMAs viewers took the time to applaud Lopez for her performance.
"Not a huge fan of her, but, this was extraordinary," one person said.
A different person gushed: "I have no words… I’m literally in tears. @JLo didn’t just perform — she slayed with every step, every look. She poured her soul on that stage and left it in flames. I felt everything."
