Jlo Jokingly Replies ‘Ugh!’ When Fan Reveals His Name Is ‘Ben’ in Vegas Residency
jlo turned a routine moment onstage into a pointed joke when a fan who volunteered his name as “Ben” drew an emphatic “ugh!” from the performer during her Las Vegas residency. The exchange happened during a performance of her 2009 song “Louboutins” at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, and fan-captured footage of the interaction was posted on Sunday, March 22 (ET). Lopez paused the show, bantered with the audience and escorted the fan behind the curtain after the gag.
Jlo pauses the set and lands the gag
The most immediate fact: during the song, Lopez stopped her choreography to invite a concertgoer onstage and teased the crowd with, “We’re gonna take him for everything he’s got. ” The fan — who gave his name when asked — replied “Ben, ” and the performer reacted with a dramatic “ugh!” followed by a grimace and laughter before bringing him offstage. Jennifer Lopez, actress and singer, later led the fan behind the curtain and continued the show without missing a beat.
Onstage details captured in the footage show Lopez wearing a shiny gold bra top with matching bottoms and glittery fringe as she moved across the stage. The moment was brief but pointed, timed in the middle of the “Louboutins” segment and recorded by attendees. The clip was posted on Sunday, March 22 (ET) and circulated quickly among viewers who saw the exchange play out live that night at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
Immediate reaction from the star
There was no long statement — only the onstage lines and laughter. Jennifer Lopez, actress and singer, used the beat to riff with the crowd, delivering both the setup, “Look at this guy, we’re gonna take him for everything he’s got, ” and the punchline, the loud “ugh!” when presented with the name. That short, unsparing reaction landed as a comic nod to the star’s well-known past.
The audience response in the room underscored the moment’s tone: it played as a self-aware, high-energy joke during a residency performance, designed to keep the set lively and interactive. The gag followed a pattern Lopez has used in the residency to lampoon elements of her public life while staying squarely in performance mode.
Quick context and recent residency notes
Lopez has woven personal touches into the residency set. At the first of her Up All Night concerts at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December 2025 (ET), she joked about her romantic history onstage, saying, “In that time, I’ve only been married twice, ” then correcting herself: “That’s not true. It was only once. It felt like twice. ” The performer has also referenced past personal upheavals when commenting on how she returned to dance after her 2014 divorce from Marc Anthony, with whom she shares twins Max and Emme, described in the set as 18-year-old twins.
Public records of Lopez’s most recent marriage timeline are present in the residency narrative: the marriage was tied in July 2022 and her divorce was finalized in January 2025 (ET), after a filing in August 2024 (ET).
What’s next
Expect jlo to keep blending high-energy performance with pointed, self-referential moments as the residency continues. The gag-style interaction makes clear she will use onstage banter to punctuate the set and to shape the residency’s tone, and future shows are likely to include similarly brief, headline-grabbing exchanges. Fans attending upcoming dates should anticipate more spontaneous stage moments that play off the star’s personal history while staying focused on the music.
As the residency runs on, every onstage pause and quip will be watched closely; jlo’s mix of choreography, costume and candid commentary has become a defining element of the current Las Vegas performances.
