Lopez — currently a judge and executive producer on [_World of Dance_](http://ew.com/tv/2018/03/08/world-of-dance-season-2-sneak-peek/) who is winding down a residency in Las Vegas — and Mendes — whose first two albums featured a string of hits and whose third album is expected soon — are both included on this year’s TIME 100 list. They follow [John Legend](http://time.com/collection/2017-time-100/4736217/john-legend/) and [Demi Lovato](http://time.com/collection/2017-time-100/4736200/demi-lovato/), who [performed at the gala](http://time.com/4747191/time-100-john-legend-demi-lovato-gala/) last year. “Jennifer Lopez is an iconic performer. She’s the first Latina actor to earn over $1 million for a film and the first woman to have a No. 1 album and a No. 1 movie in the same week. But she’s also a mother, an entrepreneur, an activist, a designer, a beauty icon, a philanthropist and a producer,” actor Kerry Washington wrote in a [tribute to Lopez](http://time.com/collection/most-influential-people-2018/5217628/jennifer-lopez) for the TIME 100 issue. “She is an undeniable force and a powerful example — not just for women of color but for anyone who has been made to feel ‘other’ and for everyone who carries the burden and the privilege of being a first.” John Mayer — who invited Mendes to perform with him during his tour last year — described the 19-year-old as a “pop star born both of and for Generation Z.” “He doesn’t see genre as a barrier, and he regards all of music as an open playing field, which it very much is for someone with his talent,” Mayer [wrote](http://time.com/collection/most-influential-people-2018/5217630/shawn-mendes/). “His enthusiasm is boundless and infectious, probably because of the fact that he gets better by the day. He’s like Neo in The Matrix, downloading skills in one sitting.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5246023/time-100-2018-jennifer-lopez-shawn-mendes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5246023/time-100-2018-jennifer-lopez-shawn-mendes/"},"headline":"Jennifer Lopez and Shawn Mendes to Perform at the 2018 TIME 100 Gala","datePublished":"2018-04-19T11:01:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-07-21T07:15:05.145Z","description":"Both stars are included on this year's TIME 100 list","url":"https://time.com/5246023/time-100-2018-jennifer-lopez-shawn-mendes/","keywords":["TIME 100","2018 Time 100"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt81790d59d47f8626/69892e18e76ad22594631bc8/jennifer-lopez-time-100-2018-gala.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt81790d59d47f8626/69892e18e76ad22594631bc8/jennifer-lopez-time-100-2018-gala.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2018 DIRECTV NOW Super Saturday Night Concert In Minneapolis - Jennifer Lopez Performance","caption":"2018 DIRECTV NOW Super Saturday Night Concert In Minneapolis - Jennifer Lopez Performance","creditText":"Kevin Mazur—DirecTV/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-100/","name":"TIME 100"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5246023/time-100-2018-jennifer-lopez-shawn-mendes/","name":"Jennifer Lopez and Shawn Mendes to Perform at the 2018 TIME 100 Gala"}}]}] ```
