Jennifer Lopez's $90 Million Las Vegas Residency Could Be At Risk Due To Low Ticket Sales
In light of poor ticket sales for the upcoming 'This Is Me... Live' tour in conjunction with low album sales, MGM Grand is reportedly questioning their decision to give Jennifer Lopez a Las Vegas residency deal in 2025.
A source shared with the 'New York Post' that "MGM is watching her not doing well on the road. They are very nervous. It is very rare that you have a poor tour and then go to Vegas."

The 'This Is Me...Live' tour has yet to kick off, but seven shows have already been cancelled — a potential red flag for a singer who was reportedly offered one million per show, for 90 concerts.
The same source shared that a compromise could be the most agreeable solution, offering Lopez, 54, somewhere between $600,000 to $650,000 for fewer shows.
Her low-performing tour isn't the only factor in MGM's reported reconsideration. The 'Enough' actress' most recent album, 'This Is Me...Now,' debuted at No. #38 on Billboard's top albums list. In February, she told "Entertainment Weekly" that she doesn't "even know if I'll ever make another album after this."
While questions continue to loom about the future of Lopez's music career, her acting career is seeing successes. The mother of two starred in the Netflix movie 'Atlas' that premiered on May 24. The film received the top ranking in over 50 countries.
Her relationship with actor Ben Affleck have also made headlines as of late. A source told 'Page Six' that Affleck, 51, "feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he's come to his senses now and understands that there is just no way this is going to work."

Lopez does have a history of successful Las Vegas residencies. Her previous Sin City shows grossed $101.9 million at Caesars Palace's Planet Hollywood, Newsweek reports, between 2016 and 2018.
