33 Reasons 2016 Is Jennifer Lopez's Best Year Yet!

Updated on 12/8/2016 at 6:30 PM

Move over, world, because Jennifer Lopez is having the best year of her life. The singer, actress, and producer is doing it all — she has a Spanish album in the works, as well as a TV dance competition; she has a Las Vegas residency, as well as a hit TV show; she's a devoted mom of two and still somehow found time to design a shoe line! We're calling it: 2016 is the year J Lo's stardom skyrocketed beyond the moon. Scroll ahead to find 33 reasons we believe so.

She Started Her Las Vegas Residency.

J Lo kicked off a series of concerts at Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in early January. Her residency there has been extended with even more shows scheduled for 2017, which means the singer has no plans on slowing down her music career.

She Produced and Starred in the Second Season of Shades of Blue.

She's been all over New York City filming scenes, wearing Detective Harlee Santos' awesome curly hair, loose pants, and lace-up boots.

She Continued to Be the Executive Producer for Freeform's The Fosters.

Yes, you read that right. She produces TWO shows!

She Got Cast as Rosie in NBC's Musical Remake of Bye Bye Birdie.

Because she can do it all! The remake will be on TV on December 2017.

She Also Announced Her New Dance Competition Show World of Dance.

She'll be the most amazing judge because, well, she can dance like no one else can (see video above for evidence and this throwback of her days on In Living Color), and she already has experience giving great advice on TV.

She Somehow Found Time to Go on Stage With Her Ex-Husband Marc Anthony . . .

We're unclear how she could make this happen with so many other commitments, but it happened and they sang their duet "No Me Ames."

And Prince Royce . . .

For the premiere of her "All I Have" show in Las Vegas, J Lo invited Prince Royce.

And Pitbull.

When Pitbull debuted his own Las Vegas residency, Jennifer was there.

She Collaborated With Lin-Manuel Miranda . . .

Their song "Love Make the World Go Round" was just so perfect — plus, all proceeds benefited the Hispanic Federation's Proyecto Somos Orlando!

And Went on Every Show to Perform the Song.

On The Today Show, she wore a Selena-inspired look.

She Turned 47 Wearing the Hottest Dress Ever at a Huge Party.

J Lo is not one to not celebrate her big day. This year, she hosted a party in Las Vegas with friends Kim Kardashian, Calvin Harris, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Leah Remini.

Talking About Parties, She Hosted 1 in a Bikini.

Why not, right? She had so much fun, and looked incredible in her stringy suit.

She Voiced an Animated Character.

Jennifer lent her voice to Shira in Ice Age: Collision Course.

She Released a Great New Single.

And an incredible video to go with it. "Ain't Your Mama" quickly became one of the songs of the year — and did we mention she was wearing Rihanna for Manolo Blahnik boots?

She Announced a New Spanish Language Album.

Marc Anthony is producing it and we. can't. wait!

She Performed Her First Single From the Album at the Latin Grammys

It's a remake of Pimpinela's "Olvídame y Pega la Vuelta."

Then Kissed Marc on Stage

We all freaked out.

She Launched a Shoe Line With Giuseppe Zanotti.

Some may say the hottest shoe line to ever exist.

She Became a Single Lady.

Though this year marked the end of J Lo's long-time on-and-off relationship with Casper Smart, we're choosing to look at this in a positive way.

She Was Happier Than Ever.

The internet was abuzz after J Lo posted this photo on Instagram right after her breakup. She knows what's up.

She Poetically Read the Lyrics to "Baby Got Back" . . .

She made us laugh out loud with her rendition of the Sir Mix-A-Lot's song, which was written about her, by the way.

And Gave Us the Sexiest Carpool Karaoke Ever.

J Lo and J Co (James Corden) slayed. There were so many good moments, we couldn't choose our favorite.

She Twerked on The Tonight Show.

Yep, that happened, and we immediately turned it into a GIF.

She Filmed the Last Season of American Idol...

It was bittersweet.

Looking Like This!

If you're going to cry on national television on the last episode of your show, it should be in a dress like this one.

She Spent Quality Time With Family . . .

Jennifer makes time to hang out with her sister as much as she can, then documents their shenanigans on Instagram and Snapchat.

And Showed Us How Big Her Kids Have Gotten.

Jennifer shared more photos of Emme and Max than ever. We got to see how cute they are and how much they look like their famous parents.

She Looked Amazing on W Magazine . . .

We have one word: gorgeous!

And on Her Instagram.

We suddenly feel the need to work out — a lot. J Lo's fitness routine is serious.

She Wore Sexy Outfits — Duh!

Of course, she did. Life wouldn't be live without J Lo in a revealing look.

But Also Covered Up More Than Ever . . .

We still have dreams about this marigold dress. You, too?

She Stole the Spotlight at the Golden Globe Afterparties . . .

Old-Hollywood glam at its best.

Where She Hung Out With Famous Friends.

No big deal. She's living the life!
