However, other netizens didn’t hold back their criticism. One person bluntly called the party “Embarrassing.” Another wrote, “Act your age. Be responsible for once. Have a purpose.” “Time to ‘GROW UP,'” another netizen typed.
Someone else remarked, “She really gives off pick me vibes and that is really not cute for a woman her age… leave that for high school kids.”
Others responded to the birthday celebrations with humor, writing, “Flipping her hair around all those flames, I’m surprised she didn’t catch fire.” Someone else echoed the same sentiment, “That first hair flick was dangerous.”

Despite the criticism that followed, Lopez made one thing clear — she’s going to celebrate her way. Days before her 56th birthday bash, the award-winning singer was on her “Up All Night” World Tour and a clip from one of her performances went viral.
