The Live Nation-produced tour is Lopez’s first tour in five years and it will support both the album and the accompanying Amazon Original short film, This Is Me Now: A Love Story, also out on Friday. Tickets for the tour will be available starting with a JLo fan club presale beginning Feb. 20 at 9 a.m. local time, with Citi and Verizon presales beginning at 10 a.m. local time on Feb 20 through Feb. 22 at 10 p.m. local time; click here for more information on Citi presale and here for Verizon Up details. The general onsale will begin on Feb. 23 at 10 a.m local time here.

In an interview this week, Lopez said her first studio LP since 2014’s A.K.A. is “the best album that I’ve ever made… The most honest and true – it took a long time for me as a musical artist to get there. I’m really happy and proud of this in a way that I don’t think I ever have been before.”

Lopez’s ninth album is a sequel of sorts to her 2002 This Is Me… Then collection, which she released when she was first dating Ben Affleck, to whom she is now married. “They’ve followed me on that journey and watched me make mistakes and go in and out of relationships and wondered what was going on,” JLo said about her fans.

Lopez and Affleck split in 2004, then reunited in 2021 and tied the knot in a surprise Las Vegas wedding in July 2022 – 20 years after the original album’s release. The new album also features a sequel to a track from the first This Is Me album, “Dear Ben Pt. II,” plus the previously released dance-y single “Can’t Get Enough.”

Father John Misty Has Jokes and Response Track After Kendrick Lamar Treads on Album Release Day

FJM widely released "God's Trash" in wake of K.Dot's surprise drop of his "GNX" album on Friday.

Father John Misty saw all the jokes and the conspiracy theories on Friday (Nov. 22) about how his album release schedule has eerily been synched up with Kendrick Lamar‘s music drops over the past 12 years and he responded in the only way he knows how: with a diss track and jokes.

Okay, not a diss track in the Drake sense, but rather the first wide release of the shaggy folk rocker “God’s Plan,” which he originally issued on Bandcamp last month and which fans gleefully suggested was a soft rock shot fired at the Pulitzer Prize-winning MC. FJM uploaded it to his Instagram on Saturday with no commentary and lyrics that didn’t provide much direct linkage to Lamar. “A man’s life, God’s trash/ There’s no law but the old law, baby/ Pettiful, nothing dies/ Said by ass-drawn kamikaze/ Year zero in the summertime,” FJM sings on the track; he reposted it on X, adding three coffin emoji.
