Jennifer Lopez Says 'World of Dance' Finished Filming Right Before Lockdowns Started

Jennifer Lopez is returning for another season of World of Dance next week and luckily, the entire season has finished filming.

The 50-year-old entertainer is opening up about wrapping production on the NBC dance competition series right before the lockdowns started.

“I knew after the Super Bowl, I was going right into World of Dance and right after World of Dance, I was going to take a break,” Jennifer told Variety. “It was Tuesday or Wednesday and we were supposed to be finishing on Sunday, but they came to us and said, ‘We have to finish by Friday. The building is closing down.’ I was like, ‘What?’ It was that week when things got really real.”

Jennifer added, “Then they said, ‘We’re going to do the finale without an audience.’ It was all so new. We did the finale and then I got on a plane and came home and that’s where I’ve been ever since.”

Earlier this week, Jennifer made headlines when she posted a selfie on Instagram and people noticed a mysterious face in the background.
