Could a Jennifer Lopez Country album be in the works?
It sounds ridiculous, but hear us out.
Jennifer Lopez is not having a great 2024. Divorce rumors with Ben Affleck have circulated for months and only grown more convincing.
Add a couple of bad movie releases and some (hard earned) unpopularity, and maybe she’s looking for a fresh start.
Does Jennifer Lopez need to pivot to Country music?
Jon Peters produced Jennifer Lopez’s 1995 film, Money Train. Unlike 2024 releases Atlas and This Is Me … Now, that film was characterized as “acceptable” by the Los Angeles Times.
The actress and singer spent millions recently, going all out on a wedding and her $60 million house.
Now, so much of what she does seems to be blowing up in her face. She’s canceled her tour and, right now, a lot of people assume that she’s regretting a thing or two.

Jon Peters speaks to TMZ in in a new Hulu documentary, JLo & Ben: Missed Warning Signs.
He speculates that Jennifer Lopez could pivot in an unexpected way. And, in the process, walk in Beyonce’s footsteps.
Specifically … what if she took the Country music scene by storm?

J. Lo could get help hard launching her Country music career
According to Peters, Jennifer Lopez could partner up with Country legends like Shania Twain. He speculates that they would be delighted to work with her.
That is certainly possible! Influential celebrities, rather than servers or other employees who depend upon tips to survive, might actually enjoy her coming to town.
The idea would be for the singer to move to Nashville (however temporarily) and begin the project. She doesn’t have Country credentials, but she could borrow from those who do.

To be blunt, it’s unclear how well Jennifer Lopez could do in Country circles. She is from the Bronx.
Beyonce is from Texas — and in addition to racist backlash, she also found that fans who love her were not always willing to follow her into a different genre of music. Not if they don’t enjoy it in the first place.
Clearly, some people are big on the idea. But what matters most is whether Jennifer Lopez even has an interest in a Country career.
