According to reports in EN Starz, Jennifer Lopez revealed that the outfit remained a secret until she finally walked with it on stage.

JLo kept the latter flag a secret, and no one knew about it even during rehearsals.

In her recent interview on Apple Music’s SOMOS Radio Jennifer Lopez confessed that she was afraid someone would stop her from doing the flag stunt. As a result, it became a well-kept secret during the rehearsal. “I just had the American flag on the outside, and during rehearsals, I didn’t really open it up until we were on stage, and I was like, ‘Latino!'”
Jennifer Lopez could not hide how proud she felt when she finally represented herself using the outfit. Moreover, it became one of her most-watched musical performances as an American and Latina woman. This also explains why she chose to have her daughter, Emme, on stage to sing with her. For the singer, by making that move, they let women and Latinos know that everyone can and should speak up about different things, including injustices and inequalities.
Jennifer Lopez revealed, “And that was a huge statement that I hoped I did in a musical way. And this is the great thing about being a musician and being creative is that you can do things in a way that people can receive them. And it was received in a beautiful way, thank God. But the message was there.”
