Nearly 10 years since she launched her first Las Vegas residency across the street at the former Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood, Jennifer Lopez popped the cork on her new show, Up All Night Live, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace by popping out of a disco-ball inlaid champagne bottle.
Alongside the Lana Del Rey cover, Lopez also offered her own interpretation of Barbra Streisand‘s ‘Don’t Rain on My Parade’ and Elvis Presley‘s ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ alongside many of her own hits including ‘Jenny From the Block’ and ‘Let’s Get Loud.’ Ja Rule also made a guest appearance to perform ‘Ain’t It Funny’ and ‘I’m Real.’
@oldiesvibe Jennifer Lopez —“Dance Again” ✨🎶 Live in Las Vegas, Nevada. More than a performance it was a moment. J.Lo shared pieces of her life, her struggles, her growth, and reminded everyone why resilience matters. Then she turned pain into power and made the whole place move. Confidence, healing, and pure joy on that stage. A true reminder to keep going… and always dance again. 💃🏽🔥 #JenniferLopez #jlo #upallnight #oldiesvibe #fyp ♬ original sound - OldiesVibe
A parade of dancers, wind machines, nearly-nude bodysuits, winks about her past high-profile romances and a few clapbacks to the haters filled the more than two-hour set, staged for a crowd of 4,000-plus on Tuesday (Dec. 30). As Lopez belted out song after song, hit every dance move and blew through more costume changes than anyone could count, she left it all on the floor of one of the city’s most important stages. Every part of the show worked in tandem to usher in a new era for Vegas residencies, leaning more toward the theatrical than a greatest hits rundown.
During the show, Lopez humorously addressed criticisms of her dress. “‘Why’s she always dress that way?’” Lopez said from the stage. “‘Why don’t she dress her age?’ I was like, ‘Huh? What?’”
She added that her response to the question “Why is she always naked?” is “I said, ‘If you had this body, you’d be naked too!’”
