It’s been tough times for Janet Jackson, but is the tide about to turn?
The diva hit headlines last week when she cancelled the European leg of her ‘Unbreakable World Tour’ – much to the dismay of her fervent fans in the region.
She has since returned to Los Angeles for what many assumed was rehearsals for her upcoming show at the Dubai World Cup.
However, it seems there was a specific reason behind Janet’s jetting into the US last week, one that will no doubt excite fans.
Find out below…
Per a variety of sources, it appears the 49-year-old filmed a new music video with dynamite director Dave Meyers.
Peep the clues below…

Fingers crossed it’s true; we’re especially hoping that said vid for the delicious ‘Dammn Baby.’
Since the onset of the ‘Unbreakable’ era, there’s been mass desire to see Janet do what she is most renown for – dance.
As such from a BPM perspective, ‘Dammn’ really is the best bet to excite the masses. The boat was jarringly missed with ‘BURNITUP!’ – although we’d have no complaints if the Missy Elliott number was brought to life visually at some point for the mere fact it still slays.
Whatever the case, Janet clearly has some damage control to do. Stay tuned as we follow how it all plays out.

I just read this on twitter today…this exact same damn post. #Plagerist!!
Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100: #6(-2) Formation, @Beyonce [4 weeks]. *peak #4*
☕
LMAO when was her last No. 1? In 2008! Almost 10 years ago. Dear, lord. She’s only 34, has all that hype and support surrounding her and can’t produce a No. 1 hit since she was 26.
Where’s your single @
SCREAMING!!!!! And here I thought it would be #1. She can’t even go #1 on the Bubbling Under Charts. What kind of queen? ?????
Unbreakable tour $8 million gross (30 shows cancelled) Rebel Heart Tour $150 million+ gross (0 shows cancelled)
riding tricycles high and drunk on stage really pays off i c
Still selling out arenas in 5 continents while Janet can’t even book a stage in Europe LMAOOOOOOOOOO
POOR F****** RAT SHES SO OVER NOBODY EVEN WANTS TO SEE HER IN EUROPE ONLY 15% OF THE TICKETS SOLD
Rebel Heart didn’t and won’t gross even close to $150 million. Unbreakable grossed $15 million in the USA. Japan wasn’t reported, but was sold-out, so it’s above $20 million. The largest shows are yet to come. Patience. / 20 European shows were postponed, not canceled.
After Europe Madonna was way over the $100 million according to Billboard
Once you add the Asian and Australian dates (which haven’t been reported yet) she will go go over the $150 million
AND LOL AT YOU THINKING NON STANS WILL WANT TO RISK BUYING TICKETS AGAIN WITH HER UNRELIABLE ASS
SHE ALSO F***** HERSELF OVER BECAUSE NO TOUR PROMOTER OR INSURANCE WILL EVER WANT TO TAKE A RISK SINCE SHE HAS A HISTORY OF CANCELLING SHOWS
Tranet, it won’t go above $150 million. She needed 62 shows to get $100 million, and you are expecting that 20 shows that aren’t reported will gross over $50 million? Where’s logic there?
Yeah but Madonna is falling apart at the seams and making a fool of herself. I just read the other day that she had fallen down (again) onstage and was asking who in the audience wants to F- her. She’s losing custody of her son whom by the way doesn’t even want to be associated with her.
Madonna desperately needs to just stop in quietly go away and be a mother to the kids that want to leave her. Janet is doing much better for herself personally. Despite concert sales, Madonna is a mess.
Hope she enjoys it. It only cost her her kid
Nice try Tranet! Your stats are dated. That 8 million figure for Janet was only for a mere 9 concert dates. She did over 30 shows so far and that total hasn’t been reported yet.
lol that you think Janet is on tour for money. She said its only for Fans, Family and Friends meaning “DUH” Janfam, Family and close Friends.. Janet is not looking at numbers she’s just here for her supporting fellow humans ..
come on queen do burn up or dammn baby!
Well, good luck to her. Personally speaking, I am completely over the “Unbreakable” era now and think it’d be best for her to either release a part 2 of the album with new singles & HIGH-OCTANE PROMO or just continue the tour and then take a backseat and rest.
.
I’m still annoyed that I won’t be seeing her come the end of the month but “it is what it is” when it comes to Janet and it’s been that way the last 11-13 years.
#UnreliableTour
Unbookable tour LMAOOOOOO
I get to see my best friend tonight RIHANNA. The day that I’ve waited ever so patiently has finally come. Sidenote, I hope she brings out a guest. How dope would it be if Drake came out and performed Work and Take Care! That would be amazing! #Miami #SummerSixteen #WeGonBeLit #NavyTilIDie
Oh I’m sorry Janet for being so rude on your post. You’re awesome and I would love to see a new visual with some killer choreography.
LAAAWWWD… I know I’m waiting another 2.5 months but I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HER both on the 25th & 29th.
.
I hope you have an AMAZING time and ROCK OUT to all that rock-star charisma and personality that Rih. will be throwing our from that stage, Baby and let us here @TGJ know how she performs the ANTI songs live! 😉 😉 😉
I sure hope its #BurnItUp cuz that right there is a Jam!
Nope it’s not Burn it up it’s gonna be Damnnn Baby!
I’m ready to dance. Bring the beat Janet!!
Hope it slays.I wish she did more to make this era the success it deserved to be..at least we got a great album
FLOP
Janet has a genius PR team this go round. Every rumor and headline (cancer, cancellations) started with her camp as a way of gaining/keeping exposure and staying relevant while on tour. There is no such thing as “bad publicity” if you have a plan.
Has anyone not noticed she hasn’t granted a single sit-down interview with the media outside of what has been spoken “from her lips”?
#strategy
Can’t wait.
and you never will
Smh Madonna stans are so insecure but then again not all of them.
smh Janet……. Idk if a video will revive my hope in this era, and all the shenanigans pulled with this tour…
My biggest dissapointment this era is purely the fact that Janet released an amazing album and then disappeared. I could care less about sales but I sure would have loved her to do promo just so that I would get to see her around. The 10 second Facebook clips just didn’t cut it. Im seeing her in May *fingers crossed* and I’m afraid that may be the last time she’ll even bother touring…or doing anything public for that matter.
It looks like I’m finally getting exactly what I wanted this era … my ‘Dammn Baby’ video! I know Janet will not disappoint! All I need next is Janet to pick the right “singles” to focus on (‘2 B Loved’, ‘Take Me Away’ and ‘Night’ would be perfect for Europe). When I say “singles”, I simply mean the select few songs she’d like to draw attention to (by uploading those songs to vevo or by performing these specific songs at award shows). If she’s feeling inspired enough, I’d looove a short film of visuals for the entire ‘Unbreakable’ album. This is all Janet really need to do to complete this era for me! I think it’s the best strategy for her, she’s a visual artist. It can be done all on her terms and she’s not being forced to compromise the art she wants to offer directly to fans.
Ooowee!! I hope it is Dammn Baby! It would be also cool if she was shooting multiple videos to link a couple of her songs like she did with the Rhythm nation album… can’t wait to see!
lol at every body going in on Janet Jackson and the Unbreakable Album and Tour.. When in fact Beyonce Tour release was all copied off of Janet Jackson Unbreakable Album and Tour lol
So she most be during something right if two artists are now still coping off of Janet .. Even Tori Kelly Tour is called Unbreakable
I don’t want a new video unless it comes with a revived effort to promote and to perform like deep down Janet knows she can do. It doesn’t seem like she’s really invested in this album and that is a huge huge mistake.
Lets be real!!!

Nice song
Im so happy about this! Let’s Not Forget thatJanet’s Team said this albu had a 3 year promo plan, I was praying that Janet would take the time off to do a video, it;s unlawful that Burn It Up did not get the full video treatment as its a massive success with dancers, I still have hope but I have a feeling the videos ill be for Damnn Baby or The Great Forever and either way I’m happy with that 🙂
her next single is confirmed to be “The Great Forever”, she’s filming a video for that song.
Her tour was great; saw it live in Hawaii!!!! Epic!
Yall some haters, janet doesn’t need to be #1 on Billboard, she already did it. She aint trying to prove s*** to yall, and if yall don’t like her then why click a link with HER name on it? Simply cause yall dont have real productive s*** to do, but sit & critique, n yall even do that s*** for free.
Shooting a new video for what? Pointless. That album is done. There are no hits on it. There’s no interest in it. Just retire and live off your husbands and MJ’s money. There’s no place for Janet in the pop world anymore.
