Chatting with beau Alex Rodriguez on an Instagram livestream as they drove home on Oscar night, J.Lo revealed the precise words she said to Cooper.
“He seemed a little nervous. I just whispered, I said, ‘The song is so beautiful. When they hear the first few notes, they’re going to start applauding. So don’t worry. Just deliver the song.'”
She added, “He was like, ‘I got it, I got it, OK.’”
After watching him perform with co-star Lady Gaga, Lopez says she was blown away by the “amazingly beautiful, intimate performance,” declaring it was “so special” to have a front-row seat.
“Shallow” went on to win the trophy for Best Original Song, earning Gaga her first Oscar.
