Meanwhile, this is not the first time that JLo has been injured during the AMAs event. In 2009, the singer had a fall while in the midst of her performance. Recalling the incident later on The Ellen Show, Lopez claimed that she was “messed up” and suffered a “bruised bone.” 

She also explained the mishap that took place. The Love Don’t Cost a Thing crooner revealed, “One of the dancer’s backs was slippery from sweat and lights and everything.” 

The musician added, “We never bargained for that, because they always had t-shirts on in rehearsal. So they were barebacked and didn’t have shirts on for the performance, and when I stepped on their backs, my feet got wet. So when I landed, it just slipped from under me.”
