“These moments were captured just minutes before we hit the stage last night,” Lopezwrote on Instagramas she shared the same clip. “All I want my girls, the little girls on stage with me and all over the world to know is how to use their voices and be proud of everything they are.”
She continued, “We are proud to recognize that all of us together are what makes this beautiful country truly great.”
According toToday, the caption appeared to have been edited slightly. The outlet reports that Lopez’s Instagram post first included the line “Other people can try to build walls, keep us out or put us in cages,” which has since been removed. The line may have been a reference to a section of Lopez’s performance which featured child singers in glowing cage-like structures, an apparent reference to the Trump administration’s immigration policy.
Emmestole the showon Sunday night when she hit the stage to perform with her mother. The tween began her cameo with a rendition of “Let’s Get Loud” alongside some other young performers, before belting out a few lines from Bruce Springsteen’s “Born In the USA” as her mom sashayed around in red, white and blue feathered Puerto Rican flag cape.
