Hold onto your glow sticks, JLo fans, because the “This Is Me… Live” tour is officially a “This Ain’t Happening” situation. Jennifer Lopez just dropped a bombshell, scrapping her summer shows to focus on “children, family and close friends.”
In a statement that could be interpreted as either heartwarming or hinting at deeper issues, Jennifer declared herself “completely heartsick” over letting down her fans.
“I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel it was absolutely necessary,” she wrote on her website, leaving us all wondering – what exactly is so necessary it trumps belting out hits for thousands of adoring fans?
The timing is certainly eyebrow-raising.
This announcement follows whispers of trouble in paradise for Bennifer 2.0.
Apparently, JLo and Ben Affleck have been living separate lives in LA, a situation not exactly conducive to marital bliss.
While they were seen together recently, sources say the strain is real.
Maybe all that “don’t mess with me” energy Lopez was projecting toward Netflix wasn’t just about her movie Atlas.
Could this be a JLo solo trip to recharge and re-evaluate her relationship status?
Or is it a family bonding vacation with Ben and the kids thrown in for good measure? We may never know.
One thing’s for sure, this cancellation is a blow to fans who snapped up tickets.
Thankfully, refunds are automatic for those who purchased through Ticketmaster.
Third-party buyers will need to do some legwork to get their money back.
On the bright side, at least JLo has Atlas riding high on Netflix.
The film, which dropped at the end of May, is a hit in over 55 countries.
In a recent interview, Lopez even admitted she relates to her character’s strength and frustration – a sentiment that might resonate with anyone facing a personal upheaval, tour cancellation or not.
So, is this a strategic move for JLo or a sign of a bumpy road ahead for Bennifer? Only time will tell.
In the meantime, we’ll be here waiting for the next chapter in the JLo saga, popcorn at the ready.
