Megyn Kelly shocks fans by calling Jennifer Lopez a soft porn star after racy concert clip goes viral

Megyn Kelly has reignited controversy by criticizing Jennifer Lopez's recent concert performance on social media, calling it "soft porn." The former Fox News host didn't hold back when she responded to a now-viral video of the singer's suggestive dance routine with male dancers on her most recent tour.

Kelly's comments have sparked heated debate online, with fans disagreeing on J.Lo's performance style and whether Kelly's criticism went too far.

Megyn Kelly's comments, shared on X, have fueled an ongoing feud between the two women, which dates back to Kelly's previous public jabs at the pop icon.

What sparked Kelly’s latest jab at Lopez?

The controversy erupted when Megyn Kelly shared a clip of Jennifer Lopez performing her hit “I’m Into You” during her Up All Night: Live in 2025 European tour. In the video, Lopez, 55, dances provocatively with three male backup dancers. Kelly reposted the clip on X, writing, “So she’s a soft porn star now. Great choices!” Her comment immediately stirred backlash and discussion online, with fans and critics debating whether the performance was empowering or excessive.



This isn’t the first time Lopez has embraced sensual choreography in her routines, her past performances, including the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show with Shakira, have leaned heavily on dance and visual appeal.

Has this feud been brewing for a while?

Kelly’s dislike for Lopez isn’t new. During a speech at a Trump rally earlier this year, the conservative commentator took a jab at J.Lo, sarcastically commenting on her appearance and celebrating the loss of Lopez’s preferred political candidate. In June, Kelly criticized the bodysuit Lopez wore at the 2025 World Pride Festival, calling it “desperate” in a segment on her show, as per a report by Billboard.

Kelly has also referenced Lopez when critiquing other performers, like Usher’s 2024 Super Bowl halftime show, saying she was just glad her kids didn’t have to see anyone “expose themselves” on stage, adding, “Hi J.Lo, Shakira,” in a not-so-subtle swipe.

Clearly, Kelly’s beef with J.Lo isn’t just about one concert clip, it’s part of a broader critique of what she sees as Hollywood’s oversexualization of female performers.

What’s next for J.Lo after her tour?

Despite the controversy, Lopez is showing no signs of slowing down. After wrapping up her European dates, she’s set to headline a brand-new Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace starting December 30, running through March 2026. Titled Up All Night Live in Las Vegas, the show follows her successful Jennifer Lopez: All I Have residency that ran from 2016 to 2018.

While Megyn Kelly’s criticism may have sparked a media firestorm, it’s unlikely to affect Lopez’s plans. The pop star continues to pack venues, draw millions of fans, and make headlines, whether for her music, her fashion, or the drama surrounding her name.

This clash between two bold personalities, one a political firebrand, the other a pop culture icon, shows no signs of cooling. If anything, it’s just another chapter in the ever-evolving debate over art, expression, and who gets to draw the line.
