Carli Lloyd, who plays on the U.S. Women’s National Team and won the World Cup earlier this month, continued her celebrations at Jennifer Lopez‘s concert on Friday, July 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
.
Lopez, who is on her “It’s My Party” tour, typically pulls a man out of the crowd for a special onstage experience, but in honor of Lloyd attending the show, she brought the 36-year-old two-time world champion up for a lap dance! Lopez first announced that the soccer champion, who is also a two-time an Olympic gold medalist, was in attendance at the concert. She then had her own champion athlete, fiance Alex Rodriguez, escort Lloyd from the crowd to the backstage area, according to reports.

“I’ve got a little present for you. Are you ready for this? I don’t know if you’re ready for this,” Lopez said on stage. “I’ve got a little present for you. Actually, Carli, I got two presents for you.”Lopez then gave Lloyd a lap dance to the song “Birthday Sex,” — fitting as Lloyd will turn 37 on July 16. The song then segued into Lopez’s classic hit “If You Had My Love.”Earlier this week the 49-year-old shared her love for the USWNT on Instagram. “So proud of the World Champs #USWNT!!!! Fan since ’99! #limitless #WomensWorldCup99 #RoseBowl #20thanniversary #letsgetloud!…,” she captioned a video montage of top soccer moments between 1999 and today..The Business of Being Jennifer Lopez:

The first realm Jennifer Lopez conquered? The world of dance! She started out as a backup dancer for the boy band New Kids on the Block back in 1991 at age 22, parlaying that into an eventual gig as a Fly Girl on “In Living Color.” Her dance roots came full circle in 2016 when she started executive producing and judging the dance competition series “World of Dance” on NBC.

Next, Jennifer Lopez set her sights on the acting world, picking up small parts before landing her big break in “Selena.” The 1997 film brought the life of the late Mexican superstar to the big screen, with Jennifer signing on to portray the singer. The role netted her a reported $1 million salary, which also made her the highest paid Hispanic actress in history at the time. Breaking barriers!

Time to tackle the music industry! In May 1999, Jennifer Lopez released her first single, “If You Had My Love.” The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for five weeks and quickly went platinum. Her album “On the 6” followed that June and sold more than 8 million copies worldwide.

The business of making headlines? Jennifer Lopez could teach a course on that one — starting with her legendary red carpet moment at the 2000 Grammy Awards. Though she was nominated for her first Grammy that night (for best dance recording for “Waiting for Tonight”), the only thing people were talking about the next day was her iconic dress. The green palm-print Versace gown, which featured a plunging neckline that went past her belly button, garnered an insane amount of press, with onlookers marveling at just how much skin the star showed at the big event. The dress was the reason Google Image Search was even invented! The executive chairman of Google told Project Syndicate that it was the “most popular search query” they’d ever seen, resulting in the then-relatively new company creating an image search function.

One week in February 2001, Jennifer Lopez set a record that no one has been able to beat since! The star simultaneously had the No. 1 album (her second studio release, “J.Lo”) and the No. 1 movie at the box office (“The Wedding Planner), which showed off her ability to dominate two realms at once. She earned a reported $9 million for her work in the rom-com, propelling her to the ranks of the highest paid women in Hollywood.

Not everything Jennifer Lopez touches turns to gold! Jennifer moved into the world of fashion in 2001 with her very first clothing line, “J.Lo by Jennifer Lopez.” She partnered up with Tommy Hilfiger’s brother Andy for the venture, forming Sweetface Fashion. The line was ultimately a bust and ended in 2007. Jennifer called it the biggest disappointment of her career, telling The New York Times, “I felt like I was trapped in a situation I couldn’t get out of, and my name was stamped on things that I didn’t believe in.”
