Jennifer Lopez’s summer plans have taken an unexpected turn as she abruptly cancels her highly anticipated ‘This Is Me…Now’ tour. The announcement has left fans with numerous questions and speculations about the real reasons behind the sudden decision.
Heartfelt Apology to Fans
On May 31st, JLo dropped a bombshell on her fans by personally announcing the cancellation of her 30-city tour. In her OntheJLO newsletter, she expressed her deep regret and sadness. “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…”
Speculations and Rumors Surrounding the Cancellation
The cancellation of the ‘This Is Me…Now’ tour comes amid various rumors and speculations. Some fans believe the decision might be related to her rumored issues with Ben Affleck. Reports have been circulating about a potential split between the couple, with suggestions that they have been living apart during a rough patch in their relationship. Another source mentioned that Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family, and close friends, emphasizing the importance of personal circumstances in her decision.
Concerns Over Low Ticket Sales
Just a day before the cancellation announcement, there were reports that MGM Grand was feeling ‘nervous’ about her $90 million Las Vegas residency due to low ticket sales. An insider told Pagesix, “MGM is watching her not doing well on the road. They are very nervous.” However, a different source told ET that the decision to cancel the tour was not due to poor ticket sales. The insider noted that there had been a recent surge in concert sales, with certain markets showing strong performance.
Impact on Her Fans and Future Plans
The ‘This Is Me…Now’ tour was initially planned as a victory lap to celebrate JLo’s career resurgence. The tour, which was rebranded as ‘This Is Me… Live,’ was meant to reflect her rekindled love with Ben Affleck and follow the success of her 2019 tour, which grossed over $50 million with sold-out venues across all stops. Despite the cancellation, JLo assured her fans that she would make it up to them in the future.
