Jennifer Lopez cancels multiple “This Is Me... Now ”tour dates
Lopez is set to embark on her first arena tour in 5 years in support of her "This Is Me... Now" self-funded movie.
Some Jennifer Lopez fans will have to wait a little longer to be introduced to the woman J.Lo is now.
According to a message on Ticketmaster's website, the pop star and actress has canceled several concert dates on her upcoming This Is Me... Now tour dates, including planned stops in Nashville, Tenn., Raleigh, N.C., Atlanta, Ga., Tampa, Fla., and New Orleans, La.
The canceled dates were all planned to take place across a consecutive eight-day stretch from Aug. 22-30. EW has learned that a logistical issue through the promoter forced the last several dates to be canceled, but that there's potential to work something out for the affected cities in the future.
EW has reached out to representatives for Lopez and tour company Live Nation for comment on the cancellation, as Ticketmaster's note indicates only that, "Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event."
The cancellations follow the high-profile release of Lopez's accompanying cameo-filled, self-funded streaming movie project and its parent album This Is Me... Now, a sequel to her 2002 album This Is Me... Then that, like its predecessor, chronicles Lopez's love life — particularly her marriage to actor Ben Affleck.
While the streaming film (and a subsequent documentary about its creation) made headlines and courted viewer eyeballs according to Amazon streaming lists, This Is Me... Now the album marked one of Lopez's least successful outings to date. It debuted and peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and fell off the ranking entirely the following week, though it did reach No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart.
Refund information is available via Ticketmaster. See the full list of Lopez's canceled This Is Me... Now tour dates below.
