A video of pop icon Jennifer Lopez crashing a performance at the Abbey’s Sunday Service drag brunch is going viral online.
In footage shared on X, formerly Twitter, Lopez impersonator Jo Lopez was on the stage when the real JLo surprised her. The “On the Floor” singer suddenly pops out from behind a curtain as the crowd erupts.
Shortly before her surprise appearance, the crowd told Jo Lopez to look behind her, before the real J-Lo appeared wearing a floor-length beige fur coat, knee-length white boots, and huge hoop earrings.

Right before her surprise appearance, the crowd told Jo Lopez to look behind her, before the real J-Lo appeared wearing a floor-length beige fur coat, knee-length white boots, and huge hoop earrings.
J-Lo then greeted the crowd with a simple “Hi guys,” sending them wild.
“You don’t need me to perform,” she joked, gently stroking the arm of her drag accomplice before thanking her for her tribute.
“I do,” Jo joked, much to the crowd's adoration
As it turns out, Lopez was there to help present The Abbey CEO and founder David Cooley with a plaque and promote the release of her new single “Can’t Get Enough. She also took some time to help serve up some cocktails.

Cooley is stepping down from his post at The Abbey, having recently sold the bar to entrepreneur Tristan Schukraft.
“I’m here to celebrate someone who has been so supportive of me and so many other artists, and someone who has given 33 years of sanctuary and ceremony and service to the LGBT community,” Lopez said.
“My friend David Cooley … has been out here on the streets for a long time.”
