Janet Jackson Channels 'The Velvet Rope' For 'State Of The World' Promo

[Nikki B.]

 

Janet Jackson’s â€˜State Of The World Tour’ kicks off tonight in Lafayette, Louisiana!

 

Serving a surge of excitement to fans, the superstar shared a thirty-second clip to further amplify buzz for the shows – her first concert series since 2015’s â€˜Unbreakable.’

 

In the clip, the mother-of-one quotes a powerful line from one of her famous eras, â€˜The Velvet Rope.’ She wrote:

“You must remember that you were born with blood of Kings & Queens and can’t be stopped, stay strong…â€

 

 

 

 

We also see a new headshot of the Pop royal. Glazed over in an earthy red filter, the â€˜Rhythm Nation’ singer sports a slicked back hairstyle and a much more chiseled face. She certainly worked her hardest shed the weight put on pregnant with her now 8-month old son Eissa.

The video was an ace touch ahead of tomorrow’s kick-off.

 

Unlike previous eras, this trek isn’t being launched on the back of a new album. At least, as at writing. So one has to wonder whether this retrospective promo hints at a nostalgic, themed setlist. The answer awaits today.

 

The 56-date tour will run through until December 17th in Atlanta, GA.
