Jennifer Lopez had an unexpected guest during her concert on Sunday.
A grasshopper crawled onto her neck as she hit the stage at Kazakhstan’s Central Stadium in Almaty – but JLo didn’t let the creature interrupt her performance.
Video posted to her Instagram captures the nerve-wrecking moment the insect decided to crash the show.
Jennifer, 56, flashed a somewhat nervous smile as the little critter made its way up her plunging halter top.
The Selena actress maintained her composure and appeared to finish off the song before abruptly swatting it away.
‘It was tickling me!’ Jennifer – who was recently denied entry into a Chanel store in Istanbul after security ‘failed to recognise her’ – told the crowd as they applauded her performance.
