During a fun chat on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jennifer Lopez joked that her upcoming This Is Me… Now tour could be her final big performance. The 54-year-old singer discussed what fans can look forward to in her tour supporting the release of her new album and movie.
She mentioned that back in 2002, when she released her album This Is Me… Then, she didn’t expect to be working on a new record more than a decade later. Lopez shared that her latest musical movie, This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, will add a special touch to her live shows, including a stunning scene of her singing and dancing in the rain, only seen on DailyMail.com.
The actress from Hustlers told Fallon that her main goal has always been to give her fans an unforgettable and energetic performance whenever she takes the stage.
During a recent interview, Jennifer Lopez jokingly mentioned that her upcoming This Is Me… Now tour might just be her final grand performance.
During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the talented singer, who is 54 years old, dished on what fans can look forward to in her upcoming concert tour in support of her latest album and movie release.
Describing her aim for her shows, she expressed, “I always want people to leave thinking, ‘That was the best show I’ve ever seen!’ It’s like one final celebration!” Dressed in a stunning deep pink outfit with flowing mermaid hair, the brunette beauty discussed her creative achievements.
Reflecting on her albums, she mentioned that she didn’t intentionally plan to create a sequel to her past work when she released ‘Then’. However, she shared that it felt like destiny and that both albums were dedicated to her spouse, Ben Affleck.
Recalling the moment, she mused, “There are occasions in life when you just feel, ‘This was meant to happen somehow’. At the time I didn’t realize that when I decided to name it This Is Me… Then.” The album captured a period in her life when she fell in love deeply for the first time, she revealed.
She elaborated, “It truly encapsulated that moment, and I thought, ‘I’ll name it This Is Me… Then.’ And now, 20 years later, fate brought us here,” hinting at her rekindled romance with Affleck. She shared that she felt compelled to create her recent record, marking her ninth studio album and first solo release in a decade, as she was once again inspired just like before.
Lopez also mentioned that when she created her album This Is Me… Then in 2002, she had no idea that she would be working on another album more than ten years later.
On Friday, her new album was released along with a musical movie, featuring six distinct and alluring covers for each record. She explained that after a decade, she felt motivated and inspired to create this record, marking her ninth studio album and her first solo project in ten years.
When asked about her albums, she mentioned that she wasn’t focused on creating a “Now” while working on and releasing “Then.”
Looking back, she mentioned that it seemed destined and like it was meant to happen, especially since both albums are a tribute to her spouse Ben Affleck.
“Yeah, I had this idea and I thought, ‘Let’s name it This Is Me… Then.’ And now, look where we are, two decades later, reunited with Affleck,” she revealed about their unexpected reunion.
She described feeling motivated just like when she made her first record, saying, “I felt like I was going to create This Is Me…Now.” It had been a decade since she last made an album like this. The album, featuring six different alluring covers for her records, along with a musical movie, was released on Friday. When asked why she opted for multiple covers, she mentioned it was to offer something ‘exclusive’ to fans. She noted that in today’s world, everyone craves exclusivity, so she aimed to create special content for all her supporters.
Similar to the scene in the film, Lopez and Fallon had a blast singing and dancing while competing in a fun game called Name That Song Challenge: Retro versus Modern Version.
They grooved to the classic jam “Jenny From The Block” from 2002, along with a fresh track from her latest album called “Can’t Get Enough”.
She referred to her Amazon Original movie as ‘an adventure in pursuit of love for the hopelessly romantic.’
‘In a surreal, artistic, and creative manner, I chose to narrate the story,’ she elaborated.
In a similar fashion to the movie, Lopez and Fallon showcased their singing and dancing skills while participating in the Name That Song Challenge: Then and Now Edition.
Her documentary, titled The Greatest Love Story Never Told, is set to debut on Amazon Prime Video on February 27th.
