  1. Do you know what time Jennifer Lopez will be performing the “Tribute to Selena” during the 2015 Billboard Latin Music Awards tonight?
    Thank you for any information…

    • Tara, Telemundo did not give a breakdown of when performances are taking place, so I don’t know what time Jennifer Lopez will be performing. Sorry.
