The versatile musician Janet Jackson has again come at the top of the media reports. She has risen to the forefront of the public with her new vibrant performances, video moments, and sociocultural awards. By carrying out many activities from Las Vegas to TikTok, Janet is definitely leaving the imprint of her attributes on the public in a very convincing way.
[conversational style] So, let’s see what are the main points that have captured people about Janet Jackson at the moment.
Las Vegas Residency Extended Into Summer
First of all, this year, Janet Jackson has expanded the schedule of her Las Vegas residency and the particular venue is still Resorts World Theatre. In addition, May 2025 has been set as the period whereas the new shows were reflected on May 21, 24, 25, 28, 30, and 31.
Resorts World Theatre kicked off ticket sales on January 17, and apparently, the demand is huge. Aside from that, the fans have been eager to witness many of Janet’s hit songs performed live. Her concerts provide a mix of music, dancing, stage, and fashion design that is one-of-a-kind, these picturing the music star as a complete entertainer.
Not to mention engaging the new people to her legacy, she has been introducing her old fans to the new era of festivals that are her shows.
Cincinnati Festival Appearance Canceled
To crack the concept, the Cincinnati Music Festival organizers in a press release on March 20, 2025, disclosed to the world that Janet Jackson would be unable to grace the stage and perform at the festival as initially scheduled.
Very recently, the revelation of the sad news has come from official sources that there were personal problems causing the whole thing to be canceled. The festival board is now on the lookout for a new guest performer at the festival on the July 24th, 25th, 26th period.
Her fans are quite sad but are still sending out positive vibes for her to make a comeback one day. No replacement act has been set.
Nominated for Songwriters Hall of Fame
In January 2025, a nomination for possible induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame was given to Janet Jackson. As other known personalities in the music industry like Eminem, Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow, and N.W.A were also among the nominees when the performer’s name came up, she became one of them.
This honor reflects her long career of successful songwriting. From “Rhythm Nation” to “That’s the Way Love Goes,” Janet has written or co-written many of her most iconic hits.
According to fans and music historians, it is not even up for debate that she has made a significant impact on pop, R&B, and dance music.
Pop Knows Who Reigns Supreme—Or Not?
On April 4, 2025, singer Lizzo revived the “Queen of Pop” debate by revealing that in her opinion, Janet Jackson was the actual Queen of Pop.
While Lizzo was making a point in an interview, she aimed at the fact that at the time of Janet’s breakthrough, there was no artist like Madonna or Britney Spears. With her comments, a lot of people got involved in a big argument on the internet.
Lizzo’s mention of Janet as the most powerful female figure in a field mostly dominated by men spurred fans to support her, while at the same time more people became vocal in their demands for Janet to be officially recognized for her role in creating the modern pop music style.
On the one hand, the debate is still ongoing. Yet, it seems pretty obvious that one could not talk about the music royalty without including Janet’s name.
“Someone to Call My Lover” Rises Again Due to TikTok
The song “Someone to Call My Lover” by Janet Jackson has unexpectedly become a topic of interest again. A new generation is exposed to her music after TikTokers started using the song as background music for short dances or lifestyle videos.
Most Gen Z users admitted that they had a very vague or no idea of the song’s existence or even the full range of Janet’s work. Others were surprised at the volume of music she had already put out.
Even though it was entertaining to certain fans that the reactions were used, many have taken it as an opportunity to impart the younger generation about Janet’s impact on pop and R&B.
Will New Music and a Gig Be on the Cards Soon?
News of a new Janet Jackson album has been in the air for months now. Her fan forums and Reddit threads have been full of posts where her followers talk about how she has dropped little hints about new songs or a world tour during her previous interviews.
Up to the present moment no official album title or release date has come to light. However, just after she reappeared and her music hit the headlines, her fans are optimistic about an announcement shortly.
Janet Jackson no longer being the legend of the past, she is the power of the present as her spirit is still alive. She can inspire the audiences in various ways, be it Las Vegas act, a song that went viral, or an award from her peers.
Being accompanied by the new performances and a continually expanding fanbase throughout generations, 2025 can be seen as one of her strongest years so far.
