At sundan ng fast-moving medley ng kantang Empire, Whenever, Wherever at snippet ng Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir. Tinapos nito ang unang bahagi ng show gamit ang kanyang signature song, na Hips Don’t Lie.
May grand entrance naman si J.Lo, na bumaba mula sa isang makeshift Empire State Building, bilang pagkilala sa kanyang hometown, New York City, kasabay ng performance niya ng mga hit songs, kabilang ang Jenny from the Block, Ain’t It Funny at ang foot-stomping version ng Get Right.
