Youre asking me about my theories?
Everything they do is a callback or foreshadowing.
So, while its exciting and new, the familiarity is what has the world transfixed.
Except the truth doesnt actually affect the way were obsessing.
(Were SZA and Kehlani actually dating that one night Twitterreally wanted them to be?
Did Kylie Jenners spoiler-y nails actually lead toTikTok predictingher second pregnancy.
And again, irrelevant to the fun!
The theories will persist.)
3 on the Billboard Hot 100 with help from the video.
Instead of casting Affleck again, director David LaChapelle had J.Lo re-createFlashdancefor the music video.
Well never know if Alex Owens got into the ballet conservatory, but J.Lo does get her prize.
Its what allowed her to become the crossover superstar she is today.
And it started with Affleck playing Im Glad as he proposed to her.
Lopez never performed the song live.
That is, untilGlobal Citizenin September 2021.
Just a little love song, she told the crowd.
Sure, maybe they just love balconies.
The One
Big surprise.
The fourth track on the album is also a Ben Affleck love song.
Easy to see how J.Lo might have manifested herself a rebound two decades in the making.
I write this song to let you know / That you will always be to me, she sings.
My lust, my love, my man, my child, my friend, and my king.
(Girl, what???)
Its a rare J.Lo track where someone else is the object of desire.
She gets to indulge in her fantasy instead of being someone elses.
She remains, to this day, the hardest-working person Ive come across in this business.
Jen on Ben:Ben is funny!
He still looks pretty good, too.
Jen on Bens back tattoo:Its awful!
she, well, admittedly didnotcompliment him, onWatch What Happens Live With Andy Cohenfive years ago.
It has too many colors.
His tattoos always had too many colors.
Foreshadowing
I would do it all over again, I think.
I really would even the relationship part, Lopezsaidback in 2016.
Shes the real thing, he told the New YorkTimesin 2020.
I keep in touch periodically with her and have a lot of respect for her.
So many candles, and vases, bouquets.
And my song Glad was playing …
I walk in and I was just, like, overwhelmed.
I wasnt expecting it, and I was just like, Oh my God.
she recalled in their infamous interview with Diane Sawyer, confirming the engagement.
The public had a similar reaction.
So its a good thing she kept it, right?
If the relationship is for the cameras, wouldnt they want to capitalize on it?
In the meantime, the couple has bedazzled their paparazzi photos with many other nostalgia-inducing gifts.
The Watch
Its not the items themselves they can be any material item money can buy.
Before there was The Ring, there was The Watch.
But J.Lo is playing into it, too.
Her Instagram has liked countless Bennifer posts from the many fan accounts she follows.
Can something be staged when the world is your stage?
Would we even care otherwise?
Despite the cameras on carpets, their glamour comes off as natural.
Yachts
Bennifer loves boats.
They remain unaware, if unbothered about giving fans exactly what they want.
Who wouldnt chase that high, just to feelitone more time?
Now, theyre even more indulgent despite knowing there are cameras.
