Jennifer Lopez has officially come back in a big way. The 55-year-old singer and actress kicked off her first tour since 2019 on July 8 at Tafisa Park in Galicia, Spain, marking the return of her much-awaited Up All Night Live in 2025 tour.
Lopez, 55, hasn’t toured since 2019’s It’s My Party world tour. While fans were thrilled when she initially announced her This Is Me…Now tour in early 2024, disappointment followed after she canceled the North American leg citing “personal reasons.” At the time, media outlets speculated the cancellation was linked to her rumored split from husband Ben Affleck—a theory later confirmed when their divorce was finalized in late 2024.
The canceled tour became a symbol of Lopez’s retreat from public life to prioritize her emotional and spiritual health. In a candid Instagram video posted earlier this year, she told fans, “I had to step back and rebuild—from the inside out.” This period of introspection was deeply tied to the release of her film and visual album This Is Me…Now: A Love Story, which documented her complicated relationship with love, identity, and fame.
The Comeback Tour
Fast forward to July 2025: Lopez launched the international leg of her tour in Galicia, Spain, to a roaring crowd. Clad in a sparkling silver bodysuit and gold-sequined cape, she looked every bit the commanding performer the world has missed. Critics praised her voice, choreography, and stage design, calling the show “a masterclass in reinvention and resilience”.
The tour spans 19 cities across Europe and Asia, including Madrid, Budapest, Warsaw, and Dubai, with plans to extend into North America in Spring 2026.

Lopez’s tour shares its name with her 2024 concept album and Amazon Original musical film. Both projects dive into Lopez’s emotional journey through heartbreak, fame, and rediscovery. Critics initially dismissed the film as self-indulgent, but audiences praised its rawness and cinematic flair.
In an interview with Variety, Lopez said, “This isn’t just an album or a film. It’s a document of my life—the real story behind the glamour.”
Her latest performances include cinematic interludes pulled directly from the film, giving concertgoers an immersive emotional and visual experience. It’s not just a show; it’s a window into Lopez’s mind and heart post-divorce.
The Fashion: Iconic and Intentional
JLo has long been known for her fashion-forward choices, and the 2025 tour is no exception. Styled by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, her outfits are designed to convey power, sensuality, and vulnerability. One ensemble—a sheer crystal-embroidered catsuit—drew comparisons to her famous green Versace dress from the 2000 Grammys, signaling her full-circle moment as a global icon unafraid of reinvention (Vogue).
Her wardrobe isn’t just eye-catching—it’s thematically rich. Each costume change aligns with a different emotional chapter of the show, from heartbreak to healing to celebration.
Why JLo Still Matters in 2025
With 80 million-plus album sales and a film box-office haul north of $3 billion, Lopez exemplifies longevity. Her strategic pivot into production, beauty, fashion, and streaming content (via Nuyorican Productions and deals with Netflix/Amazon) keeps her profile strong. Even after her divorce, she’s maintained a commanding presence on social media and in global pop culture.
Final Thoughts
Jennifer Lopez’s This Is Me…Now tour is more than a spectacle—it’s a deeply personal journey played out on a global stage. With high-octane performances, emotionally raw storytelling, and unapologetically bold visuals, JLo is reminding the world that her story isn’t finished—it’s just entering its next powerful chapter.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering her music for the first time, Jennifer Lopez’s 2025 comeback is a pop culture moment that demands attention.
