‘Happy' and ‘Free' Jennifer Lopez Gives Emotional 56th Birthday Speech During Turkey Concert
Jennifer Lopez delivered an emotional, impromptu speech during her birthday concert at the Regnum Carya hotel in Antalya, Turkey, on Wednesday, July 23. Toward the end of her Up All Night show, Lopez's backup singers and dancers surprised the multihyphenate with an audience sing-along to "Happy Birthday," which inspired her to take a moment to address the thousands of fans in attendance. "I don't like to give advice to anybody," began Lopez, who officially turned 56 on Thursday, July 24. "I feel life is a journey, and we all have lessons to learn and are just doing the best we can as we go along the way." That said, J. Lo shared that she had "one piece of advice" for the crowd: "Do what you love with people that you love. You can never go wrong. You will go [through] every day happy. I believe that the happiness that you have in your heart is directly tied to the people around you and to how free you can feel around the people around you. And I hope that each one of you can feel as happy and as free as you made me feel tonight." Jennifer Lopez's Ageless Moments Through the Years Lopez concluded her speech by saying, "I love you so much" before performing one of her aptly titled new songs, "Free." Us Weekly exclusively reported earlier this month that the Grammy nominee held an intimate listening party in Los Angeles, where she debuted six tracks, including "Free" and "Birthday," the latter of which she released on streaming services on Thursday. She also played an unreleased ballad titled "Wreckage of You" at the July 2 event. "She mentioned how last year was a very difficult time for her both personally and professionally. She had to cancel her tour and really focus on herself," attendee Edgardo Luis Rivera relayed to Us at the time. "Fast-forward to one year later, and she feels better and stronger than ever, so she wanted to write a song about coming out of a bad situation much stronger." Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez: Timeline of the Bennifer Romance Lopez, who finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck earlier this year, "kept thinking of the word 'wreck' because it means destruction, but she wasn't destroyed," Rivera continued. After Wednesday's concert, J. Lo went out to celebrate her birthday in a long, backless silver dress. She posted videos on her Instagram Story of herself dancing with her tour crew near a three-tiered cake topped with sparklers. Lopez has her actual birthday off but will resume her international tour on Friday, July 25, in Warsaw, Poland. Later this year, she is scheduled to bring the show to Las Vegas for a three-month residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace beginning on December 30. Solve the daily Crossword

Sheryl Crow Slams ‘Immoral' President Trump in New Protest Song ‘The New Normal': Stream It Now
Sheryl Crow is refusing to accept the current political landscape as her new normal. On a fiery new song recorded with her touring band, The Real Lowdown, released Friday (July 18), the singer-songwriter slams President Donald Trump and his 'immoral' leadership style, referring to him as the 'leader of the free world' in place of his name. More from Billboard 2025 Stand Up To Cancer Fundraiser To Feature Dolly Parton, Host Sheryl Crow Mariah Carey 'MC16' Album Details Coming Tomorrow Fans Choose BTS' 'Permission to Dance On Stage' Live Album as This Week's Favorite New Music 'Is it science fiction or prediction wrapped in George Orwell?' she sings, pointedly referencing the author of dystopian novel 1984. 'If the news is fake and fear is hate and nothing's immoral/ To the leader of the free world, then welcome to the new normal.' Elsewhere on the track, Crow opens up about her widely shared fears that artificial intelligence will take over the job market, singing, 'You're gonna wake up someday to a robot that's in your place.' The song comes at a time where reproductive freedom, LGBTQ rights and climate initiatives are increasingly under attack under the Trump administration. At the same time, artists and experts alike have been warning against the advancements of AI, pointing out its environmental and economic risks. In a statement, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer shared why she chose to release the protest anthem at this point in her career. 'What's happening all around us is so unbelievably bizarre, that my fear is we will truly begin to feel like this is normal,' she said, noting that the possibility 'terrifies' her. 'I am so blessed to have the band that I have,' she continued. 'For years, we have jammed up such cool stuff during sound checks that we decided we go in and start recording as a band. Can't wait for everyone to hear the new stuff we are doing.' Crow has previously been open in her opposition to the twice-impeached POTUS. In 2016, when Trump first ran for president, she joined several other artists in protesting his use of their songs in his campaign. In 2024, she revealed that she'd voted for Trump's opponent, Kamala Harris. 'I voted for the candidate who I feel I can align myself with and who represents the aspects that I try to live my life by, and that I try to model to my children… empathy, compassion, a heart for community and for those underserved,' she wrote on Instagram in November. 'Not hate and division, bigotry, or racism. Pretty straightforward. Harris/Walz lead with love and not hate. Simple.' Listen to 'The New Normal' below.
