Jennifer Lopez to Perform at Global Citizen Live Event in NYC Central Park
Jennifer Lopez is returning to her homeland of New York City to perform at a show organized by Global Citizen. On Monday, the organization announced that the singer will perform as part of their forthcoming Global Citizen Live event on the Great Lawn in Central Park on September 25.
Katie Hill, SVP, Global Citizen, said in a statement, “Ms. Lopez’s involvement in Global Citizen Live is a wonderful progression from our partnership during the Vax Live campaign, event and primetime broadcast,” “With her help, we were able to secure 26 million COVID-19 vaccine doses but our work for vaccine equity continues as the pandemic continues to spread. We are thrilled to welcome Jennifer Lopez to our Central Park stage on September 25th to continue our impact together.” – according to the source.
The Global Citizen Live event will serve as a moment of unity across six continents. Celebrities and public figures in Lagos, Rio de Janeiro, New York City, Paris, London, Seoul, Los Angeles, Sydney, and others will call on governments, corporations, and philanthropists to “make new commitments to defend the planet and defeat poverty, focusing on climate change, vaccine equity, and famine” – according to a press release.
Lopez is coming off a rousing performance at President Biden’s Inauguration in January.
According to a source, Jennifer Lopez performed a mashup of “This Land Is Your Land” and “America the Beautiful” – with a nod to her 1999 hit “Let’s Get Loud” – after the swearing-in of Vice President Harris and just minutes before President Biden took his oath of office.
Upon her arrival to Washington, D.C., the artist shared a photo with members of the military, tweeting, “What an honor to spend a few moments with these brave men and women. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I honor you today and every day. Tomorrow I sing for you and all Americans.”
