Singer shares bold message on stage
During a break between songs, Lopez addressed the audience with a confident message about financial independence.
"You know, people looked at me for years, and they think I'm expensive," she said. "And I am expensive, but I have my own money."
She also encouraged women not to depend on others financially, adding that kindness and everyday gestures matter more than luxury possessions.
"What makes a man really attractive? It's not the watch, it's not the car, it's not the private jet... it's seeing them make the bed in the morning or wash the dishes for you when you're tired at night. That's what I call sexy."
Performance featured hits and Italian tribute
Lopez performed fan favourites including Waiting for Tonight, Love Don't Cost a Thing and Let's Get Loud.
She also sang an Italian version of Il cielo in una stanza as a tribute to Dolce & Gabbana founders Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

The Sicily performance followed Lopez's appearance at Paris Haute Couture Week, where she attended several fashion events in custom Dolce & Gabbana designs.
The singer, who turns 57 on July 24, recently celebrated her birthday early in Paris with family and friends.
