The tour was to support her new album and film of the same name
Jennifer Lopez has canceled her This Is Me…Now The Tour. The trek, which was set to kick off next month, was set to be her first in five years. Lopez is taking time off to spend with her children, family, and close friends amid rumors that she and Ben Affleck have separated, a Live Nation representative confirms to Entertainment Tonight.
The global superstar also shared the news directly with fans via her OntheJLo Newsletter.
“I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,” she wrote. “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…”
Produced by Live Nation, the 30+ city tour was set to begin on June 26th in Orlando with stops across North America in Miami, Los Angeles, Toronto, her hometown of New York City, and more before wrapping up in Houston on August 31st.
Rumors have also circulated that many shows were canceled due to poor ticket sales.
The tour was to support the release of This Is Me…Now, her first studio album in nearly a decade, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Album Sales chart. The album serves as a rich tapestry of sounds and emotions, seamlessly blending elements of pop, R&B, and hip-hop influences to create a fusion of genres. Her lyrics delve into the highs and lows of life, love, and relationships with unflinching honesty and introspection as she unveils a genuine story of growth, resilience, hard work, and the transformative power of self-love. Lopez’s distinctive vocals intertwine flawlessly with captivating melodies, delivering a musical experience that is both commanding and deeply meaningful. Written and recorded at her Los Angeles home in 2022 and 2023, Lopez collaborated with a star-studded lineup of hit producers, including Rogét Chahayed, Angel Lopez, and Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman. Additional songwriter-producers were HitBoy, Tay Kieth, Yeti Beats, Carter Lang, Kim “Kaydence” Krysiuk, Jason Derulo, and Brandon Riester, who served as A&R for this project.
The album was accompanied by This Is Me…Now: A Love Story, streaming globally on Prime Video. The film is like nothing you’ve ever seen from Jennifer Lopez. Alongside director Dave Meyers, Jennifer has created a narrative-driven cinematic odyssey, steeped in mythological storytelling and personal healing. Dropping in tandem with her first studio album in a decade, this genre-bending Amazon original showcases her journey to love through her own eyes. With fantastical costumes, breathtaking choreography, and star-studded cameos, this panorama is an introspective retrospective of Jennifer’s resilient heart.
