Jennifer Lopez has insisted she “can’t wait” to get back onstage after cancelling her last tour.
In June, the superstar announced that she had decided to call off all 30 dates of her North America trek, titled This Is Me… Live.
But during a conversation with Nikki Glaser for the fall 2024 issue of Interview magazine published on Wednesday, Jennifer claimed she plans to get back into performing soon.
“I can’t wait to get back out there. I have the most understanding and loving fans in the world. Some fan bases can be spicy. Mine are just a bunch of lovers,” she smiled. “I was so devastated to let anybody down, but I just needed to be with my kids and myself and really dig down deep into things that were happening in my life. And I’m glad I did, because it was a really difficult time for me. Probably the hardest time of my life, but it was also the best time because I got to do that work on myself.”
Jennifer has experienced a tough few months, having filed for divorce from husband Ben Affleck in August. The pair, who rekindled their relationship in 2021, wed the following year.
However, J.Lo revealed she has new projects in the pipeline.
“I appreciate it and say thank you to everybody for understanding that, and I’ll be out there entertaining you and shaking my a*s sooner than you know,” the 55-year-old continued.
Elsewhere in the conversation, Jennifer reflected on some of the risks she’s taken in her career.
In particular, the entertainer noted that she was warned not to join American Idol as a judge back in 2011.
“I’ll do things that could be risky because I believe that they’re going to turn out O.K. When all of my advisors were like, ‘Don’t do this, you’re going to be reduced to just a reality star.’ It was looked down upon. ‘Don’t do that or nobody will ever hire you for a movie ever again,'” she recounted. “And I was just like, ‘No. I don’t think that’s what’s going to happen. I think I have something to contribute.’ I love music and I love mentoring people, and I wanted to share the things that I knew about the business.”
