Jennifer Lopez to Receive iHeartRadio Icon Award

According to a press release, the iHeartRadio Icon Award honors “impact on pop culture, longevity and continued relevance as a touring and radio force with a loyal fan base worldwide.” This year, that honor goes to Jennifer Lopez.

Last year’s recipient of the Icon Award was Elton John. Previously, Bon Jovi accepted the award in 2018.

Lopez has had quite the career, including eight studio albums and dozens of movie roles — most notably as the singer Selena in the 1997 biopic of the same name. Most recently, Lopez starred in the romantic comedy Marry Me and performed on the film’s soundtrack.
