I want to thank the people who gave me joy and the ones who broke my heart, the ones who were true, and the ones who lied to me. I want to thank true love, and I want to thank the way that I lied to myself because that's how I knew that I had to grow."
Jennifer Lopez, the actor-turned-singer, then started crying on the stage, saying: "I want to thank disappointment and failure for teaching me to be strong and my children for teaching me to love." She then wiped her tears while thanking her fans.
