And she’s already crushing it on stage.
She’s swapped her block for ours (for a few days, at least).
That’s right, Jennifer Lopez is currently in Dubai ahead of her one-night-only show at the Autism Rocks Arena on November 17, and seems to already be enjoying everything the city has to offer.

The If You Had My Love hit-maker landed in the Middle East just a day or two ago, judging by a video shared by her baseball-player beau Alex Rodriguez.
The sports star posted a short clip to Instagram, where Lopez can be seen practicing for her upcoming performance in the background.
“I’m here in Dubai, it’s about 85 degrees [Farenheit], it’s perfect,” said Rodriguez, before revealing one significant side-effect of the journey.
“It took 12 hours to get here—my head is spinning, I’m so jet lagged.”
But there was little downtime for the star, with Jenny from the Block headlining the Dubai Airshow Gala Dinner on Wednesday night, performing for the event’s 3,500 VIP guests.
The star turned to one of her favourite labels, Versace (yes, the one behind her iconic leaf-print gown from the 2000 Grammys), for her on-stage ensemble.
We’re really feeling the silky shirt and layered gold chains.
Lopez kicked off the night with a rousing rendition of Get Right, and shared a short clip on her performance on social media.
Anyone else feeling really jealous they weren’t in the audience? Yeah, us too.
Earlier in the week, Lopez and Rodriguez enjoyed dinner at Nobu in the Atlantis, with the restaurant’s founder, Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, joining the pair for a photo.
Lopez herself also shared an image from the night, as she looked out on the city’s skyline while donning a vibrant Versace dress.
She also dined at Fairmont-based eatery Catch earlier in the week, after working up a sweat at a local yoga studio.
Lopez checked out a class at Grosvenor Business Tower’s Bay Yoga Centre, along with some of her entourage.
“We are still so thrilled with the energy they left behind in our studio!” the studio posted after the star’s session. “Best way to get energized and kill jet lag is Bikram Yoga!”
The Waiting For Tonight crooner also offered a sneak peek at what lucky ticket-holders can expect at her show, as she showed off a little choreography before departing the States for Dubai.
Just the 14 million views for that one in 48 hours, while we struggle to get 100 likes on our well-staged food photos for the ‘Gram.
Her head-turning social media snaps have been noticed by one particular Dubai resident, a certain Lindsay Lohan, who’s keen to catch up with the star while she’s in the city.

“Wanted to connect with you in Dubai since I live here but you don’t follow me so I cannot DM you,” the Mean Girls actress tweeted to Lopez (the chart-topping singer hasn’t yet replied).
