However, the outlet also reported that sales elsewhere had been very poor.Seven shows on the tour, which would have been Lopez’s first North American run in five years, were quietly cancelled in March.

Entertainment Weekly reported that the cancellations were likely due to a “logistical issue” on the tour promoter’s end (via Mirror).The tour’s name was also changed from ‘This Is Me… Now’ (after her new album of the same name) to ‘This Is Me… Live’.In other news, Ayo Edebiri has said Jennifer Lopez was.
