Jennifer Lopez faced a wardrobe malfunction that left her on stage in her underwear at a concert in Warsaw, Poland, on Friday night (July 25) — by shrugging it off with a smile.

Emerging from backstage following a wardrobe change, she found herself surprised with a “Happy Birthday” sing-along by her backup singers, dancers and the crowd at PGE Narodowy. But everyone in the room seemed surprised when the star’s gold skirt fell to the floor.

“Oh!” she said. “I’m out here in my underwear. That’s gonna be everywhere.”

When the garment couldn’t easily be reattached, Lopez — who turned 56 earlier in the week, on July 24 — simply threw it into the crowd.

“I’m glad that they reinforced that costume,” she joked. “And I’m glad I had underwear on. I don’t usually wear underwear.”

Whichever fan caught the skirt got to go home with a one-of-a-kind souvenir from J. Lo’s Up All NightTour: “You can keep it,” Lopez called out. “You can have it. I don’t want it back.”

“You can have it, forever and ever,” she added with a laugh.

A good sport, Lopez uploaded a video of the whole ordeal on her official YouTube channel.

In the clip, she also told her fans and tour crew how appreciative she was of the everyone’s support.

“I am so thankful to be here in beautiful Warsaw on my birthday,” the singer announced. “I gotta tell you, surrounded by my incredible dancers, my band, my crew, everybody — I am so blessed. I don’t usually give any advice to anybody because I feel like we’re all on our own specific journey. … If I had one little piece of advice for you, it would be to do what you love, find what you love, do it, and do it with people that you love, and then you will have the most amazing life. I can say that firsthand.”

She said, “And I also want to say that I believe that the amount of happiness that you have in your heart is, is tied directly to how free you feel, and I wish you guys all the same happiness and freedom and the way you made me feel tonight. … I want you to be feel free to love, free to be who you are, free to just follow your dreams and do all the things that you want to do. I just want you to feel free.”
