Jennifer Lopez Cancels Multiple Dates on ‘This Is Me… Now’ Tour Amid Weak Ticket Sales

Jennifer Lopez  has canceled seven dates of her first North American tour in five years, in support of her new album “This Is Me… Now ” and its pair of companion films.

The dates spanning Aug. 20-31 in Cleveland, Nashville, Raleigh, Atlanta, Tampa, New Orleans and Houston were listed as canceled on Ticketmaster at some point on Wednesday; the Cleveland and Houston dates apparently had been removed from the itinerary earlier, as they were part of the tour’s originally announced itinerary on Feb. 15 but are no longer present on the site at all. An u pdated itinerary can be found on her social media accounts.

Popular on Variety

The album, tour and two films are part of a self-financed $20 million three-part multimedia project examining, as Variety described in a recent cover article , “Lopez’s life as a serial romantic,” regarding her reunion with actor Ben Affleck, whom she married in 2022 nearly two decades after the high-profile superstar couple originally split in the wake of their flop 2003 romantic comedy “Gigli.”

A rep for the artist did not immediately respond to Variety ’s request for comment; the cancellation notice reads simply, “Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event. No action is required to obtain a refund.”

The cancellations come after Lopez’s new album — her first in a decade — also titled “This Is Me…Now,” debuted at a disappointing No. 38 on the Billboard 200 last month.

The project, which also includes the musical film, “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story,” and a documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” is apparently intended as a love-conquers-all statement.

Jennifer Lopez reveals This Is Me... Now tour dates for her return to the stage

Lopez will visit over 30 cities in North America. See the full list of dates here.

Her love don't cost a thing, but you can still buy tickets to see her love story unfold this summer when Jennifer Lopez returns to the stage for her first tour in five years.

The global superstar announced Thursday her upcoming This Is Me... Now tour dates, which will see the 54-year-old visit over 30 cities in North America to perform her back catalog of hits as well as fresh material from her new album This Is Me.... Now and its accompanying narrative film of the same name.

The tour marks the latest milestone in Lopez's This Is Me... Now era, which comprises the album, film, and concert series billed as a sequel to her 2002 album This Is Me... Then — all of which chronicle her love life, particularly her relationship with actor Ben Affleck , both in its original form and its rekindled status in recent years.

In addition to the tour, Lopez recently performed two songs from her new album on Saturday Night Live , where she appeared as a musical guest opposite host Ayo Edebiri.

Leading up to the broadcast, Edebiri's comments from a 2020 episode of the  Scam Goddess   podcast resurfaced, which saw the Emmy-winning Bear actress criticizing Lopez's career as "one long scam."

Lopez, however, told EW that the two patched things up before the show. "She actually came to my dressing room, and she was very sweet," she said. "She was like, 'Listen, I was young. I was on this thing. I said these things, and I am so sorry.' She had seen my soundcheck, and she's like, 'You are amazing. I'm watching you out there singing and doing your thing. And I'm sorry.' She was very gracious."

Presale tickets will be available via the On the J.Lo site beginning Feb. 20 at 9 a.m. local time, with general sales kicking off Feb. 23 at 10 a.m. local time on Live Nation 's platforms.

How to get tickets to Jennifer Lopez’s tour in NYC this summer, including price and presale

J. Lo's "This is Me … Now The Tour" is set to hit her hometown of New York in August.

This spring, exciting concerts are hitting New York —but the musical fun will continue straight through summer, with the likes of Justin Timberlake , Blink-182  and Green Day scheduled to go on tour and take on our local stages in the process.

New to that list of talents is Jennifer Lopez, who has just announced that her "This is Me ... Now the Tour" is kicking off in Orlando on June 26.

The 30-plus date arena tour is J. Lo's very first in five years, so we expect demand for tickets to be high, especially since the performances will support her new album "This is Me ... Now," which debuts today. 

In addition to her new track collection and supporting tour, Lopez is the star of the new musical movie titled This is Me ... Now: A Love Story , now on Amazon Prime, and a behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of both her latest album and film. The latter project is titled The Greatest Love Story Never Told and it will be landing on Amazing Prime on February 27.

Lopez has clearly got all her bases covered.

When is Jennifer Lopez’s 2024 tour coming to NYC?

Lopez is scheduled to bring her "This is Me ... Now the Tour" to New York later in the summer, hitting UBS Arena in Belmont Park on August 9 and Madison Square Garden in Manhattan on August 16.

When do tickets go on sale for her "This Is Me … Now" tour?

The general ticket sale for J. Lo's upcoming tour will begin later this month, on February 23 at 10am on Live Nation's website . You can also check this place out, too.

How much will Jennifer Lopez tickets cost?

No word yet on what tickets will go for but, as is usually the case with concerts, we suspect the cost to shift among cities and, of course, seat tiers. 

Is there any pre-sale?

There are a bunch of pre-sales that will take place before the general sale kicks off. 

J.Lo fan club members, for example, will be able to snag pre-sale tickets beginning February 20 at 9am through February 22 at 10pm. 

The City Cardmember pre-sale, Verizon Up pre-sale, VIP package pre-sale and official platinum pre-sale, on the other hand, will kick off on February 20 at 10am through February 22 at 10pm.

There are three other options for you as well: the Live Nation, Ticketmaster and venue pre-sales, each one starting at 10am on February 22 through 10pm on that same day. 

Get those alarms set up!

What’s been said about the tour so far?

The first leg of J. Lo's  "This is Me ... Now the Tour" won't be until the end of June, which is when we will likely hear all about her performances.

That being said, the artist recently told USA TODAY that the album that accompanies the tour may actually be her last, so we expect her to put on a magnificent show.

"This was going to be the quintessential thing I have been searching for and wanted to say about lovem," Lopez said to the outlet. "I’ve been on this search for so long, since people first met me and my first record came out and even before that in my first movie role, where I’ve been on this journey trying to figure this thing out for myself. This (album) kind of closed the loop in a way."

In the meantime, Live Nation announced on Thursday (March 14) that in response to demand, Lopez has added second dates in Miami, Toronto and New York.

Lopez is hitting the road in support of her This Is Me… Now album — which debuted at No. 38 on the Billboard 200 — and the pair of companion films, This Is Me… Now: A Love Story and The Greatest Love Story Never Told , which were all released last month.

Tickets for the newly added dates are on sale now via a JLo Fan Club presale, as well as Citi and Verizon presales, with the latter two ending at 10 p.m. local time on Thursday (March 14).

Jennifer Lopez cancels handful of shows on first tour in 5 years, fans demand explanation

Jennifer Lopez has canceled shows in seven cities on her upcoming " This Is Me…Now The Tour ," her first tour in five years.

According to Ticketmaster's website , Lopez will no longer stop in Nashville, New Orleans, Raleigh, Atlanta, Houston, Cleveland and Tampa.

Ticketmaster's website says that the event organizer has canceled the event and that no action is required to obtain a refund. At this time, the reason for the canceled shows is unknown.

USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Lopez, Ticketmaster and Live Nation.

Some fans expressed disappointment in the comments section on the website.

"The concert in Raleigh was cancelled. and for several days now we have been waiting for at least some comments, but no one is giving them. This is disrespectful towards the audience! I can’t even buy a new ticket in another state now, because I don’t know which cities will cancel!" one person wrote.

Another commented, "The show in ATL was canceled. Why was this show canceled with no explanation."

In February, Lopez announced her upcoming tour in celebration of her new record "This Is Me...Now," which released in mid-February as a 16-track deluxe album.

Lopez has said that this might be her final album and she doesn’t suggest otherwise when asked to explain why she would be happy with “This is Me … Now” as her swan song.

“This was going to be the quintessential thing I have been searching for and wanted to say about love. I’ve been guy on this search for so long, since people first met me and my first record came out and even before that in my first movie role, where I’ve been on this journey trying to figure this thing out for myself. This (album) kind of closed the loop in a way,” Lopez previously told USA TODAY.

Jennifer Lopez says new album sums up her feelings, could be her last: 'True love does exist'

She added: “It captures this moment to really say the things I want to say about love, and that is that true love does exist and some things are forever. Please don’t give up on that because that’s all that matters in life … love.”

The upcoming tour will also feature Lopez's chart-breakers and classic hits from her discography, like songs "On The Floor," "Let's Get Loud" and "Jenny from the Block." Lopez's most recent tour in 2019, the "It's My Party" tour, sold out venues across the country.

Where Did It All Go Wrong for J.Lo?

Weak tour sales, a baffling album-movie-documentary, and general online mockery—why does everyone seem to have a problem with Jennifer Lopez?

Share All sharing options for: Where Did It All Go Wrong for J.Lo?

In February, Jennifer Lopez released a bundle of multimedia projects that were each part of a larger statement—arguably, a misguided one—about the power of love or something. One of those was This Is Me … Now , a very cheesy and otherwise unremarkable late-career pop album. The other was This Is Me … Now: A Love Story , a loosely biographical, somewhat egomaniacal adaptation of the album into a blockbuster musical full of astrological melodrama, flashy choreography, and celebrity cameos. Finally, a couple of weeks later, Lopez released The Greatest Love Story Never Told , a behind-the-scenes documentary that’s chiefly about the making of This Is Me … Now: A Love Story but is more notable for its awkwardly invasive glimpses into J.Lo’s famed romance with a dutifully supportive but quite visibly mortified Ben Affleck.

The Ringer ’s Streaming Guide

There’s a lot of TV out there. We want to help: Every week, we’ll tell you the best and most urgent shows to stream so you can stay on top of the ever-expanding heap of Peak TV.

This is all, taken together, as overproduced and exasperating as it sounds. Each project has been met with mixed-to-bad reviews and general mockery on social media. J.Lo herself admitted to Variety that she made and self-financed the musical, to the tune of $20 million, even though everyone in her creative orbit, including coproducer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and castmate Jane Fonda, warned her about the risk of further overexposure of her relationship with Affleck. But J.Lo persisted, and the result is a roundly uncanny production that’s distressingly reminiscent of Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Bad All by Myself but also James Cameron’s Avatar and also Paul Hunter’s music video for “Wild Wild West.” Fat Joe plays J.Lo’s therapist, and Jane Fonda plays Sagittarius, in the most cringeworthy release involving either Lopez or Affleck since—too fittingly, really— Gigli. Ticket sales for the tour to promote This Is Me … Now have been exceptionally weak; J.Lo has hastily rebranded the concert series as a greatest hits tour.

The overexposure of pop stars, to a fault, is routine. We know perhaps a bit too much about J.Lo’s pop contemporaries, too, and look: It’s not like Mariah Carey and Justin Timberlake haven’t also pushed their own post-peak vanity projects to weak receptions in recent years. But J.Lo has, for much of her career, been a curiously unsympathetic figure, a stone-cold climber whose missteps draw a great deal of schadenfreude and now something of a backlash.

Lopez has long been a more divisive figure than meets the eye. This was the crux of the drama a couple of months ago on Saturday Night Live , concerning host Ayo Edebiri, costar of The Bear , and musical guest Lopez, as the latter was promoting her aforementioned projects a couple of weeks before their release dates. A day before the taping in New York, TMZ resurfaced some old footage of Edebiri, as a guest on Laci Mosley’s podcast, Scam Goddess , saying Lopez “can’t sing” and describing her musical career as “one long scam.” These were jokes , in one sense—a comedic actor skewering a pop star in a harmlessly petty conversation on a podcast brought to you by Team Coco—but then, yes, actually, this has always been the shadow discourse about J.Lo. She can’t sing, and not in the normal way that a lot of pop stars slathered in Auto-Tune can’t sing; J.Lo goes so far as to hide behind uncredited vocals from other singers, from Ashanti (“I’m Real,” “Ain’t It Funny”) to Meghan Trainor (“Ain’t Your Mama”) . These criticisms are common enough that Lopez, commenting on the footage of Edebiri, told Variety that she’s indeed “heard similar things said about me throughout my career.” While Lopez would publicly insist that Edebiri’s comments were water under the bridge, Edebiri led off her SNL appearance with a sketch referencing her criticism of Lopez , in a half-kidding ritual self-humiliation. This was Lorne Michaels making the most of an awkward situation, sure, but also it felt like Lopez putting Edebiri in her place, even if she wasn’t directly responsible for the sketch’s development. Lopez also made a point of telling Variety that Edebiri apologized to her “with tears in her eyes.”

Such is the role Lopez never sought but has played on and off for decades now: J.Lo as pop villain—or, if not quite villain, a sort of hapless foil. Her famous feud with Mariah Carey in the early 2000s gave us the iconic quote from Carey after she was asked about J.Lo: “I don’t know her.” This was a rivalry born out of Carey’s divorce from her label boss, Tommy Mottola at Sony, who reportedly led the label to aggressively promote Lopez and scornfully sabotage the career of his ex-wife. Mottola and the tabloids pitted these two women against each other, and while the rivalry never escalated into any direct confrontation or explicit denunciation, J.Lo has always come across as the loser—a woman out of her depth.

J.Lo got her start as a Fly Girl on In Living Color and as the breakout star of Gregory Nava’s charming biopic Selena. This was the 1990s. These were, in retrospect, the only years when Lopez was so uncontroversially beloved, before her disastrous involvement with Puff Daddy, before her cold war with Mariah, and before her multimedia reach, far exceeding her grasp, could culminate in something as unwieldy and off-putting as This Is Me … Now: A Love Story. Much of the cynicism about J.Lo over the years, up to its latest climax, concerns her particular proportion of fame and talent. There’s the sense that even the heights of her own career don’t quite compare to those of her contemporaries or earn her the same sort of everlasting goodwill. Mariah Carey was arguably the most formidable female pop singer of her generation, with a fearsome command of five octaves, while Jennifer Lopez was a great dancer with a relatively weak singing voice, evident to anyone who has ever intently listened to the chorus of “Waiting for Tonight.” This contrast was always a bit damning, even if the underlying rivalry was false and, in any case, wasn’t J.Lo’s fault or problem. But J.Lo is a talented entertainer, undeniably, even as she struggles to narrow her ambitions in response to that pesky, inevitable question: talented at what, exactly?

This Is Me … Now: A Love Story possibly would’ve worked better as a back-to-basics dance showcase for Lopez, a savvy capitalization on the goodwill from her impressive performance alongside Shakira at Super Bowl LIV. But, of course, it had to be an overwrought showcase for J.Lo as an actor, singer, writer, producer, and lover, too. “Bennifer” is a tabloid romance for the ages, sure, but also the most consistently overexposed aspect of J.Lo’s legacy and one that’s dramatically at odds with her posturing as “Jenny from the block,” when she is, at this point, so clearly and thoroughly a creature of Hollywood, subject of so much resentment, exactly as Fonda warned her.

Apparently, fans don’t want JLo now. So her tour producers are hoping they’ll want JLo then.

The struggling North American “This Is Me…Now” tour – Jennifer Lopez ‘s first in five years — is transforming into “This Is Me…Live/The Greatest Hits.” It’s apparently hoped that the promise of familiar material will goose ticket sales, which already saw seven tour dates canceled.

It has been 10 years since Lopez’s last studio LP, 2014’s A.K.A. , and 22 years since 2002’s This Is Me … Then gave her two of her biggest hits in  “Jenny From the Block”  and “All I Have.” 

The two films are This Is Me…Now: A Love Story, and a documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told. ”

The projects were part of a self-financed, $20 million multimedia project that includes the tour and the two films.

Fresh off her triumphant turn celebrating Motown's history at Sunday night's Grammy Awards, Jennifer Lopez announced on Wednesday (Feb. 13) that she is hitting the road this summer. The 24-city North American It's My Party: The Live Celebration tour, Lopez's first outing in more than six years, will kick off on June 7 with a show at the Talking Stick Resort Arena Phoenix, Arizona.

Lopez made the announcement on Ellen, revealing that there will be guest appearances from the stars of NBC reality competition World of Dance, where she serves as both executive producer and judge. This will be Lopez’s first trek since 2012’s Dance Again World Tour, which was in support of her album Love? and featured Enrique Iglesias as her co-headliner on the American tour dates. Since then, she has headlined a successful Las Vegas residency called All I Have, which concluded last year.

As a bonus, the show will allow the singer/dancer/actress to celebrate her 50th birthday all summer long on the Live Nation-produced tour, which will also feature the "World of Dance Experience," during which audiences will get surprise dance guest performances from the stars of Lopez's NBC show World of Dance. Tickets for the tour will go on sale soon.

Entertainment | so far, jennifer lopez is one of 2024’s big ‘losers’ and maybe ‘everyone hates’ her, fans may be fascinated with j-lo’s ‘persona’ and rekindled romance with ben affleck, but they haven’t rushed to buy her new album or scoop up tickets to her north american concert tour.

By many measures, Jennifer Lopez should be in a great place in the first half of of 2024.

After all, the 54-year-old singer/actor/dancer/influencer/entrepreneur isn’t just one of the most famous women in the world, she’s back together with the love of her life, Ben Affleck, rekindling her romance with the actor in 2021 after they dramatically called off their engagement 20 years earlier.

But, career-wise, 2024 has proven to be a challenge for Lopez. In the past few weeks alone, she has faced such headlines as “Why does everyone suddenly hate Jennifer Lopez?” And, on “The Town” podcast this week, entertainment industry experts Matthew Belloni and Lucas Shaw both agreed that she was one of the “losers” so far of the year.

The reason for the “loser” designation? People are not rushing to buy Lopez’s first album in 10 years, “This Is Me … Now” or to buy seats for her North American concert tour this summer, they said.

The album peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in February, then disappeared, Forbes reported . Meanwhile, Lopez may have 253 million followers on Instagram, but Belloni, Shaw and others say that doesn’t translate into people clamoring to scoop up tickets to her tour. The tour launches June 26 in Orlando, Florida, and Lopez performs at Chase Center in San Francisco on July 16.

But so far, the concert is facing “weak” ticket sales, which forced Lopez to cancel seven dates last week and to rebrand the tour to apparently broaden its scope, changing it from “This Is Me… Now” to “This Is Me… Live | The Greatest Hits,” Variety reported.

“This is super embarrassing,” Belloni, Puck’s co-founder and The Hollywood Reporter’s former editor, said on “The Town.” Belloni talked about the big “roll-out” Lopez had undertaken to get the public excited about the album and the tour. In addition to a social media blitz, she also released two films, with Lopez sharing that she self-financed her three-part media extravaganza — the album and two movies — for $20 million.

The first film, “This is Me … Now: A Love Story,” is a romantic musical tour of her album. The second has the rather self-important title, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” and is a behind-the-scenes documentary about the creation of the album, with a focus on Lopez and Affleck finding their way back to each other. Lopez is depicted as getting “candid” about her personal growth, her struggle to find a suitable romantic partner and her much publicized habit of cycling through relationships, engagements and marriages. At one point, she acknwoledges that people are probably wondering, “What is this girl’s (expletive) problem?”

But even with Lopez’s big media roll-out, interest in her album and concert are definitely nowhere near Taylor Swift levels, even if some critics would say that Lopez has those expectations. Unfortunately, after rebranding her tour to make it appear to be more of a “greatest hits” event, “it’s still not selling,” Belloni said.

“I asked a big music industry person, like, what the hell is going on with J-Lo,” Belloni continued. “The response was she way overshot. Great person, great work ethic, nice team but they over-reached.”

It’s also debatable whether she has any hit songs, Belloni said, adding, “She was never as big as she was in her own mind. This is a sad situation.”

Shaw, who covers entertainment business news for Bloomberg News, asked, “When is the last time J-Lo had a song that anyone cared about. From a music perspective, I feel like she peaked 20 years.” He compared her to an artist like Shakira, who consistently puts out new music. He said that the public is less interested in Lopez as a musical artist and more interested in her “as a persona.”

On that note, Shaw and Belloni both observed that Lopez is back in demand for her acting, saying that her 2023 Netflix action thriller, “The Mother,” was a hit for the streaming service.

Her new documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” also has generated buzz because of its focus on her relationship with Affleck, who has become her fourth husband. Since they married in 2022, Lopez and Affleck have been proved to be surprisingly engaging creative collaborators, including on his popular Dunkin’ Donuts commercials . The couple also have put themselves out to the world as exemplars for mid-life romance and for a celebrity brand of blended-family parenting.

The film has garnered plenty of positive reviews but it also have given more ammunition to Lopez’s detractors, prompting Los Angeles Times writer Alex Zaragoza to ask in an essay , “Why does everyone suddenly hate Jennifer Lopez?”

TikTokers came down especially hard on a moment in the film when Lopez is seen in her home gym after a work-out, letting out her hair and shaking it out with her hands, Zaragoza reported.

“I like taking my hair out like this,” Lopez said a 13-second clip from the film that went viral. “It reminds me like, when I was 16 in The Bronx running up and down the block. Crazy little girl who used to be (expletive) wild. No limits, all dreams and (expletive…”

To TikTok users, the moment was seen as a failed attempt by the megastar to prove her humility and force a connection to her roots as a regular “Jenny From the Block” from the Bronx, Zaragoza said

“I understand that you’re trying to milk this whole ‘I’m humble, I’m from the hood,’” one TikTok user said in commenting on the clip. “This story doesn’t really work for you anymore… This whole story of her trying to seem relatable and more, you know, ‘normal,’ it’s not really gonna work for you. Just stop.”

Zaragoza wrote that authenticity and personal narrative have long been a part “of the fame machine,” and performing authenticity “is a razors-edge walk for anyone in the spotlight.” The writer noted that audiences will turn on a celebrity as soon as they become “too annoying, too present, too cute, to anything, particularly if you’re a woman.”

Jennifer Lopez is having a moment.

The “On The Floor” singer, 54, launched her new album, This is Me... Now , with a self-financed, $20m multimedia campaign that has been impossible to escape.

There was the experimental film, This is Me… Now: A Love Story , about the rekindling of her romance with Ben Affleck . And then there was her Amazon Prime documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told , about the making of the record and the film.

She’s also taking the album around North America on a tour that has recently been rebranded as a Greatest Hits show following “weak” ticket sales.

All this content hasn’t quite generated the kind of headlines that Lopez would have been hoping for.

Her album received middling reviews , her film was widely panned and her documentary has been the subject of countless viral takedowns on social media.

In a similar vein to the “Hathahate” phenomenon of the early 2010s (when Anne Hathaway was the subject of intense online criticism), Lopez appears to have become the internet’s latest punchbag.

Why has the internet turned on J-Lo?

Lopez is no stranger to online mockery. In 2021, she was accused of being “tone deaf” for attempting to spark a viral challenge about the 20th anniversary of her single “Love Don’t Cost a Thing”.

Recreating a memorable moment from the track’s video on Twitter, Lopez tossed her expensive jewellery, sunglasses and clothes onto a beach.

“The #LoveDontCostAThingChallenge STARTS NOW!!!!,” Lopez captioned the video. “Can’t wait to see your renditions.”

Needless to say, the challenge did not go down well with followers who were struggling to make ends meet during the global pandemic. As one fan aptly put it: “Can’t nobody afford to be throwing their stuff on the beach.”

The backlash was not dissimilar to the criticism she has faced since the launch of her latest album in February.

The influx of biographical content has led people to accuse the star of “creative narcissism”. As entertainment journalist Hunter Harris wrote in her popular newsletter, Hung Up : “The [documentary] is 90 minutes of J.Lo speaking candidly and emotionally about the gargantuan effort it takes to, at every single moment, choose to be J.Lo.”

In one of the documentary’s most reshared moments, Lopez tousles her hair in the mirror while reminiscing about her upbringing in the Bronx.

“I like taking my hair out like this,” she says. “It reminds me, like, when I was 16 in the Bronx, running up and down the block. Crazy little girl who used to f***ing be wild and no limits, all dreams.”

In response to the clip, one TikToker named photosbyangela claimed that she and Lopez had gone to the same Catholic high school, and accused Lopez of “lying” and of using the Bronx to “look human”.

“We both attended an all-girls high school in an Irish and Italian neighbourhood, so you weren’t ‘running up and down the block,’” she said.

The controversy inspired people to dig into Lopez’s past interviews to find other occasions where she has riffed off her Bronxite status. In one, a 2022 Vogue 73 Questions home tour, Lopez shared her go-to bodega order – a “ham and cheese on a roll with an orange drink”. “If you know you know,” she added.

Unfortunately, many people did not know and questioned the authenticity of her order. “What the f*** is an orange drink?” asks one TikToker’s mother , who he says lived in the Bronx.

In the midst of all this, Lopez’s critiquing of other female actors in a 1998 interview with Movieline resurfaced online.

On Oscar-nominated actress Selma Hayek, Lopez said: “We’re in two different realms. She’s a sexy bombshell and those are the kinds of roles she does. I do all kinds of different things.”

Cameron Diaz was “a lucky model who’s been given a lot of opportunities I just wish she would have done more with”.

And on Oscar-winner Gwyneth Paltrow, Lopez said: “I swear to God, I don’t remember anything she was in. Some people get hot by association. I heard more about her and Brad Pitt than I ever heard about her work.”

Lopez has apologised profusely since then for her remarks, claiming she was “misquoted and so taken out of context”.

Unfortunately, such context rarely finds its way to a viral post. With This is Me… Now: A Love Story , Lopez has opened herself up to a raft of new soundbites that might come back to haunt her.

With a nationwide tour on the horizon, it could be some time before Jenny From the Block finds some respite from social media.
