Jennifer Lopez assured fans that her Las Vegas residency will showcase the culmination of her achievements as a musical artist.
"I'm excited about it. You know, I feel like I've been preparing for this my whole life," Lopez told Billboard.
The recording artist said that the upcoming show will feature "all of the different things" that she did musically, and "performing on stage and award shows, and touring," Billboard reported. The aim is to hold an event "in one place where people from all over the world" could attend and "who wouldn't normally come to a tour," the news outlet added.
"It's really an exciting prospect for me to create the quintessential Jennifer Lopez experience in Vegas," the singer further explained to Billboard. "It's just an opportunity that is overwhelming and at the same time the most exciting thing that has happened to me in a long time, so I'm giving it all I have."
As for what fans should expect from Lopez's show in Las Vegas, she said that the event will feature her performing her biggest hits, with elements of funk, hip-hop, and old-fashioned glamour included as well.
"I am going to do what I think everybody has come to know me for," the 46-year-old songstress revealed, as quoted by Billboard. "It is going to be glamorous and beautiful and the costumes and all of it. The production is something that I haven't gotten to do yet. So it's going to be me in my element doing what I do at the highest level and it's exciting."
In an interview with ET, Lopez said that concertgoers will enjoy her Vegas show, regardless if they are a fan of her music or not.
