‘That’s my goal when people come to my show,’ she said. ‘I always want people to leave and be like, “That’s the best show I ever saw!” One last hurrah!’
While talking about her artistic feats, the brunette bombshell looked incredible in a plunging, hot pink number paired with long mermaid hair.
And about her albums, she said she was not thinking about making a ‘Now’ when she recorded and released ‘Then’.
In retrospect, however, she said it felt fated and ‘meant to be’ as both albums are dedicated to her husband Ben Affleck.
‘Sometimes you have these moments in life where you feel like, “Oh, this was meant to be somehow”,’ she said. ‘And I didn’t know that when it was happening then — when I decided to call it This Is Me… Then.’
‘I didn’t even realize it was capturing a moment in time where I fell in love for the first time in that way and wrote this whole album,’ she continued.
‘And it was very that thing, and I was like, “Oh, I’ll call it This Is Me… Then.” And then, you know, as fate would have it — 20 years later — here we are,’ she said, referring to her romantic reunion with Affleck.
She said she decided to make her new record —her ninth studio album and her first solo release in 10 years — because she was ‘inspired’ like she was before.
