Prince Harry along with Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, and many others served the campaign chairs of the event.

Dazzling in a shimmery jumpsuit, Lopez kick-started the event with the live cover of “Sweet Caroline” originally sung by Neil Diamond. She performed the track as a tribute to her mother Guadalupe Rodríguez.

The 51-year-old singer said, “When I was thinking about what song to sing tonight, I remembered the song she always used to sing to me when I was a baby.”

She further added, “So if you would indulge me, I’d love to sing that one tonight.”

She said that COVID-19 is quite devastating for her as well. Last year, for the first time in life the artist could not spend Christmas with her mother due to the pandemic.

Lopez said, “We’ve been away too long, but she’s here with me tonight, and she is vaccinated.”

In the halfway of her performance, the artist asked the musicians to pause for a while and brought her mother onstage.

The special moments revealed that Rodríguez used to sing ‘Sweet Caroline’ to her daughter as a lullaby and used to change the lyrics in ‘Sweet Jennifer’ intentionally.

Later on in the concert, the whole family by generations, Rodríguez, Jennifer, and Emme posed together which was shared by J-Lo on Instagram and made Mother’s Day very special to everyone.
