Janet Jackson Channels ‘The Velvet Rope’ For ‘State Of The World Tour’ Promo

Published: Wednesday 6th Sep 2017 by TGJ Staff

Janet Jackson’s ‘State Of The World Tour’ kicks off tomorrow 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 ‘Unbreakable.’

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

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

We also see a new headshot of the Pop royal. Glazed over in an earthy red filter, the ‘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.

Watch the teaser below…

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 tomorrow.

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