However, she admits she has yet to figure out her stage show. "I don't know what kind of show I'm gonna do there," she confessed.

"It's a different kind of venue than Planet Hollywood was, and I don't know. I'm gonna have to think about it."

When she announced the residency in 2015, Jennifer said: "I've been preparing for this moment my entire life.

"The show is going to be a multifaceted high-energy Jenny from the Block party, mixing all aspects of what my fans and I love – dance, hip hop, Latin, and pop. It's going to be the show I've always dreamt of creating."

Jennifer's Las Vegas residency announcement came shortly after she hosted the AMAs for the first time in 10 years.
