Jennifer Lopez just brought her It’s My Party Tour to her hometown and gave someone special a lap dance during the show!
The 49-year-old singer, who will celebrate her 50th birthday later this month, brought U.S. Women’s National Team soccer player Carli Lloyd on stage during the show at Madison Square Garden on Friday (July 12) in New York City.
Jennifer usually pulls a man out of the crowd for the moment, but she decided to bring up Carli as a special gift for winning the World Cup.
“I’ve got a little present for you. Are you ready for this? I don’t know if you’re ready for this,” Jennifer said on stage. “I’ve got a little present for you. Actually, Carli, I got two presents for you.”
After Jennifer‘s dancers did their thing, the superstar returned on stage in a new costume and gave Carli a lap dance while the song “Birthday Sex” played. She then segued into her hit song “If You Had My Love.”

The U.S. Women’s Soccer Team looks defeated after their shocking loss in the Women’s Football Quarter-final match during the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics on Friday (August 12) at Mane Garrincha Stadium in Brasilia, Brazil.
The team, led by star plays like Hope Solo and Carli Lloyd, lost in a penalty-kick shootout against Sweden.
USA has won the gold medal in the tournament for the past three Olympics games and the team was the clear favorite to win again this year.
“A dissapointing end, but as always, THANK YOU, #BestFansInTheWorld. Your support is incomparable. #OneNationOneTeam,” the team wrote on Twitter after the loss.
Five members of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team – Carli Lloyd, Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Becky Sauerbrunn and Hope Solo – want equal pay to the male players and have filed a federal labor complaint against U.S. Soccer with their rights and demands.
The five players represent the team as a whole and filed the papers on Thursday (March 31), the New York Times reports. The women allege they are paid 40% of what male players are making.
“I think the timing is right,” Carli said on the Today show. “I think that we’ve proven our worth over the years. Just coming off of a World Cup win, the pay disparity between the men and women is just too large. And we want to continue to fight.”
“We believe now the time is right because we believe it’s a responsibility for women’s sports, specifically women’s soccer, to really do whatever it takes for equal pay and equal rights and to be treated with respect,” Hope added.
U.S. Soccer responded on the Today show, stating, “We’re disappointed about this action. We’ve been a world leader in women’s soccer and are proud of the commitment we’ve made to building the women’s game in the United States over the past 30 years.”
