Jennifer Lopez may lose money due to lack of tickets.

After canceling the tour, she changed the name of the tour to This Is Me… Live The Greatest Hits. According to Billboard, this is a way to attract the audience to focus on her entire career, instead of the original plan for a new album to be released after 10 years.

“This decision was inspired by Taylor Swift and Madonna, two stars who had successful tours last year. Jennifer changed as a way to ask for help, learning from Taylor Swift. She saw how well Swift did with The Eras Tour – a tour that takes fans through their musical career journey,” a source told Daily Mail.

Daily Mail said that it is not too surprising that Lopez asked for help from Taylor Swift, the star who holds the record for the female singer with the highest tour revenue of all time (more than 1 billion USD).

Explaining the lack of tickets for Jennifer Lopez’s show, brand expert Hayley Knight said that in addition to ineffective PR, it is also a matter of fan loyalty.

“Unlike Taylor Swift, Madonna, Britney Spears or Beyoncé, J.Lo does not have a large loyal fan base. The audience may know and listen to her music but it is not enough to attract them to buy show tickets,” expert speak.

This Is Me… Live The Greatest Hits marks Lopez’s return after 5 years, since a 2019 tour that earned more than 50 million USD. Before that, J.Lo’s comeback album did not make much of an impression on the audience. The album debuted at number 38 on the Billboard 200, causing her to miss the top 20 of the music chart for the first time.
