Jennifer Lopez’s $90 million Las Vegas residency deal with the MGM Grand is in jeopardy due to poor concert ticket sales and album performance. While insiders say Lopez was set to receive $1 million per show for 90 dates in 2025, the MGM Grand is now concerned about her lackluster tour success before transitioning to a Vegas residency. Some suggested that Lopez should only receive $600,000 to $650,000 per show for fewer performances to salvage the deal.
Despite rumors of an impending Las Vegas residency, no official agreements were signed with MGM Grand. This potential residency would not be Lopez’s first in Vegas, as she had a successful run at Planet Hollywood in 2016. However, as discussions continue, it remains uncertain if the deal will go through. Page Six reached out to Lopez and MGM Grand for comment, but there has been no response from either party.
Currently, Lopez is rehearsing for her upcoming greatest hits tour, “This Is Me…Live”, starting in June. Originally named “This Is Me…Now” after her latest album, Lopez rebranded the tour in April to encompass her entire discography, potentially appealing to a wider range of fans. Reports speculated that the change in focus from new material to her established hits may have influenced the rebranding decision.
Amidst tour preparations and potential residency negotiations, Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship has been in the spotlight. However, sources have not indicated that any personal issues contributed to the tour rebranding. In March, Lopez faced criticism for canceling seven tour dates without explanation, and her latest album debuted at a disappointing No. 38 on the Billboard 200 chart. These setbacks have raised concerns about her future in the music industry.
Earlier this year, Lopez alluded to the possibility of retiring from music after her current album. She expressed uncertainty about releasing another album in the future, emphasizing her satisfaction with her latest project. Lopez described her recent album as a quintessential Jennifer Lopez project, hinting that it could potentially become a collector’s item. Despite the challenges in her music career, Lopez continues to focus on her upcoming tour and potential Vegas residency deal.
As Lopez navigates the challenges in her music career, including tour cancellations and album performance, the fate of her Las Vegas residency with the MGM Grand remains uncertain. While she rehearses for her upcoming greatest hits tour, speculation swirls around the future of her music endeavors. Lopez’s willingness to pivot and adapt her tour branding in response to changing circumstances demonstrates her resilience in the face of setbacks, leaving fans and industry insiders eager to see what the future holds for the multitalented entertainer.
