Jennifer Lopez brings her happy era to Vegas stage

Jennifer Lopez is back on stage and more radiant than ever, insisting her singing career has “never” felt like work. 

The 56-year-old superstar is bringing The JLo Show back to the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas this month, and she tells Extra she’s in her “happy era.”

“I’ve never looked at it as a job. It’s just what I love to do,” she said, gushing about her loyal fans. 

“I feel fortunate that I have these amazing fans who’ve supported me for so many years. There’s so much love that I feel I always want to give back to them. 

It’s just been an incredible blessing in my life. I don’t know what I would do without it.”

J-Lo also reflected on her journey through love and heartbreak, following her divorce from Ben Affleck in January 2025 after two years of marriage. 

Sharing a heartfelt Instagram post from her January Vegas residency, she revisited her 1999 hit If You Had My Love.

When Jennifer first performed her song, she was just starting out, full of hope and innocence. 

Over the years, she’s sung it through heartbreak and joy alike, but now she delivers it with a sense of strength and confidence. 

She makes it clear that her love isn’t something given lightly and it must be earned through respect and genuine care.

Anaconda actress didn’t shy away from joking about her marriage to Ben during her first Vegas show. 

Reflecting on her 2016 residency Jennifer Lopez: All I Have, she quipped: “It’s been 10 years since my last residency… and I’ve only been married twice since then. That’s not true! It was only once, felt like twice. I’m kidding.” 

She added with a laugh, “things happen… and then get rid of them,” playfully kicking out her leg to the crowd’s delight.
