Jennifer Lopez is furious after being forced to cancel a string of concerts due to slow record and ticket sales, according to insiders, who snicker that the diva is too embarrassed to face the public.
Jennifer abruptly cancelled seven upcoming concerts, citing low ticket sales as the reason for her decision. “J.Lo’s feeling awfully vulnerable and embarrassed. Canceling these dates was the last thing she ever wanted to do. But it’s better than playing in a near-empty stadium or being ordered to cancel by concert bosses,” an insider told Globe Magazine.
“To her credit, Jennifer’s being proactive. But it doesn’t take away how crushed she is. She really made it her mission to beat younger talent and stars from her age group, but it backfired,” the informant went on.
According to sources, Jennifer is concerned that her star is fading and that she is struggling to compete with younger singers such as Taylor Swift, Billie Eillish, Ariana Grande, and Dua Lipa, as well as more mature singers such as Beyonce, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga.
In February, Jennifer's "Her This is Me...Now" tour, two movies, and an album were all released simultaneously. However, after an initial rush, the album peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard 200. She was forced to cancel several dates on her tour due to poor ticket sales.
“On top of this, she’s also dealing with marriages issues. Things with Ben [Affleck] aren’t good. They’re not getting along very well these days,” the tattler claimed. And now, her vanity tour is said to be hurting.
“This has been a wake-up call that she’s not indestructible. She likes to crawl under a rock. Mostly, she’s at home licking her wounds and moping,” the insider continued.
Meanwhile, in a display of unwavering style over comfort, Jennifer was observed navigating the streets of New York City in her characteristic high heels during a house-hunting expedition with her husband, Ben Affleck.
Opting for fashion-forward attire over more practical footwear options, Jennifer chose a pair of nude peep-toe pumps for the outing on March 30, elevating her presence in the bustling urban landscape, InStyle reported.
The singer and actress, known for her distinctive sense of style, complemented her shoes with wide-leg jeans featuring frayed hems and a camel-colored turtleneck sweater adorned with black stripes, coordinating seamlessly with her double-breasted wool coat.
Accessories such as a glossy black Birkin bag, brown-tinted sunglasses, and substantial diamond stud earrings completed her ensemble. Jennifer’s hair, highlighted in shades of caramel, was fashioned into a sleek top knot, enhancing her polished appearance with a bronzy contour and glossy lips.
Ben, on the other hand, embraced a more laid-back aesthetic. He was dressed in a Nirvana T-shirt beneath a plaid flannel shirt and a navy blue jacket, black jeans, aviator sunglasses, and Nike sneakers, contrasting Lopez's more glamorous look.
The couple's penchant for fashion was evident in their activities the day prior, with Jennifer again forgoing comfortable footwear for style. She wore pointy-toe stiletto boots in a rich Bordeaux shade, perfectly matched with her croc-embossed Birkin bag, underscoring her consistent commitment to her distinctive style flair, even during casual outings.
Reports indicate that Jennifer, known for her hit "Ain't Your Mama," has been searching for her dream home in some of the most upscale areas. However, Ben, the director of "Air," seemingly did not share the same enthusiasm for his partner's selections.
Body language expert Judi James analyzed the couple's recent house-hunting expedition during an interview with The Mirror. "J-Lo's rather sweet smile might suggest she's found the house of her dreams, but Ben's body language might suggest he's not totally suited to high-profile townhouse living where that chorus of clacking camera shutters would be a given 24/7,” she observed.
Judi further noted that Jennifer seemed composed and joyful as she navigated the property, implying a profound connection with the potential home and her marriage. However, this idealized perception seemed to wane when considering Ben's demeanor.
The body language specialist pointed out several of Ben's gestures that indicated his discomfort, including his lips being drawn in, a tongue poke that could be interpreted as a sign of rejection, and even an arm raised to shield himself from the press's intense scrutiny. These actions suggest Ben's possible reluctance towards the constant attention that comes with living in such a high-profile area.
