Janet Jackson Launches New Las Vegas Residency

Janet Jackson launched her highly anticipated Las Vegas residency at Resorts World on December 30, 2024, performing a setlist of over 40 songs that highlighted her extensive career, including classics and deep cuts. The show featured a mix of fan favorites, with the first half focusing on lesser-known tracks, while the second half showcased her biggest hits. Notably, during her performance of 'If', Jackson incorporated a provocative moment reminiscent of her infamous Super Bowl incident with Justin Timberlake, as a backup dancer groped her in a move echoing the past controversy. This bold reference sparked discussions about her legacy and the past scrutiny she faced, particularly during 'Nipplegate'. Jackson's residency is scheduled for ten shows running through February 15, 2025, marking her return to the Vegas stage since her 2019 residency. The event has drawn significant attention, not only for her music but also for her reflections on her career's challenges and triumphs.
