Jennifer Lopez performed “This Land Is Your Land” and “America the Beautiful” at the 59th inaugural ceremony for President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris earlier today! It was a beautiful performance that also included a few words in Spanish: “Una nación, bajo dios, indivisible, con libertad y justicia para todos” which translates to “one nation under God, indivisible, with freedom and justice for all.” As a Latina, it was amazing to see her perform on stage at such a historic event. I’ve been a fan for over 20 years and I am still in awe of everything she continues to accomplish.
Month: January 2021
Jennifer Lopez is on the cover of the February issue of Elle! Jennifer spoke about JLo Beauty, her upcoming projects, performing at the Super Bowl, her upcoming wedding and more. Here’s a short excerpt:
If it seems like Lopez is always working, that’s because she is. In the past few years, she shot Hustlers, performed in a sold-out summer tour for her fiftieth birthday, filmed Marry Me, and sang and danced her heart out alongside Shakira at the 2020 Super Bowl. She’d always intended to take last year off. “I didn’t plan to be trapped at home,” she says, laughing. “But I had planned to be home, and it’s been good.” Still, just because she’s been at home doesn’t mean she hasn’t been working. The video for her single “In The Morning” will drop on her Triller channel on February 13th and hit YouTube on the 15th. And at the beginning of this year, she finally launched her long-awaited beauty line, aptly titled JLo Beauty, a tightly curated collection of eight products: a cleanser, a serum, a sheet mask, a night cream, an SPF moisturizer, an eye cream, a bronzer/complexion booster, and a dietary supplement.
“Wherever I go, the number one question people ask is, ‘What do you do for your skin?’ ” Lopez tells me. At the launch event for her line, Lopez reiterated this sentiment to a group of beauty editors. “Even my closest friends are like, ‘Come on, bitch, what are you doing with your skin?’ ”

The music video for “In The Morning” is here! In a concept developed by Jennifer, the gorgeous music video is an abstract visualization of the struggle we face in our everyday lives. In love, in heartache, in chaos and in tragedy. It opens with her gracefully sinking to the bottom of the ocean. She is then awakened by a small glimmer of hope, represented by a butterfly, and she begins to gain her strength. At that moment, she begins a metamorphosis, transforming into a mermaid rising to the surface. Surrounded by butterflies, she realizes there’s more growth and evolution to be had. Little by little she starts to grow her own wings transitioning to an angel and then her final form, a dove, free to fly.
Jennifer had this to say about the video on Instagram: “And I loved you even more than I loved me …🧚🏽♂️ I am soooo excited for you to see the official video for #InTheMorning ☀️☀️ It’s full of symbolism about a dark one-sided relationship and the realization that you can’t change anyone else … you can only change yourself!!! Grow your own wings and walk away from anyone or anything that doesn’t truly value all you have to offer. 💚💙🧡”
The video was directed by Jora Frantzis, who also directed the music video for Medicine. Make sure you add “In The Morning” to your streaming playlists.
