This is a correct use of “looking forward to.” Here is a tip. If you looked forward to something in the past, but it lost its magic for you, you can say, “I stopped looking forward to…”

So for example you can say, “I used to love business travel; I looked forward to every trip. But after two years of traveling almost every month, I stopped looking forward to my trips.”

Why? Well, the answer is very predictable: “Lets dance”, released in the same 1983, was so boring, so commercial, that I was afraid that the career of the king of seventies was over in 1980, with the magnificient “Scary Monsters (and super creeps)”.
