On Monday, Jennifer Lopez bid farewell to 2024 with a post on Instagram, sharing some of the highs of the year set to an orchestral version of her song “Waiting for Tonight.” The star’s various interviews from the year were edited together to create a meaningful voice over as well, sharing her perspective on a year that included a lot of change and a divorce filing from her husband of two years, Ben Affleck. J.Lo did not include the actor in her montage, but it’s clear the breakup was on her mind.
“I’m going to take all of the things that I do and put them all on it,” Lopez began over clips from her This Is Me… Now project. “It’s not just personal, it’s like my whole heart.”
Lopez shared clips from promoting the movie Atlas in May, and from the red carpet of the Met Gala.
“I am very proud of how I handle all the things,” she said. “All the things.”
A lot of the clips were from her most viral moments this year, including playfully sipping her cocktail brand Delola from the bottle, sharing her “ham and cheese on a roll” bodega order, showing her hair post-workout, and her role as Dr. Judy Robles in the film Unstoppable.
“In my low moments, I’ve learned to just feel the feelings and then let them go,” Lopez said. “That makes the story so triumphant. You can come out the other end and literally become Dr. Judy.”
She continued, “What a journey this has been. I honestly feel that the best is yet to come…I can sit here with my heart and soul intact and still feel really full of love…It’s going to get better and it always does. It’s a beautiful life in that way.”
She concluded the post with, “Let’s go bitch,” and the written message, “See you in 2025!”
