Pop icon Janet Jackson brought her ‘State Of The World Tour’ to an end tonight in Atlanta.
The 56-date US trek kicked off in September and played to packed arenas across North America before its penultimate show at a sold-out Phillips Arena.
Along with her trademark troop of dancers and detonation of high-octane choreography, Miss Jackson also brought out longtime friend Missy Elliott. Together the pair surprised with a performance of ‘BURNITUP!’ from the diva’s chart-topping comeback album ‘Unbreakable.’
Keeping with the theme of the unexpected, the 51-year-old megastar dusted off fan favorite ‘So Excited’ – slaying every move.
Peep clips below…

Also, check out her farewell speech – during which she stressed that this is the end of the “US leg.” Will international markets finally get to see this living legend in action? Time will tell.
Following the show, Missy express heartfelt thanks:

I’m sorry I don’t take her music seriously ???
Hi hater! ??
girl. you miserable. Please go find a man. Janet Jackson’s tour was the best show i have seen in years.
Janet still kills it….I mean that State of The World Tour had so many memories and it took you on this emotional roller coaster from her song “What About” dealing with domestic violence to “Together Again” Celebrating the lives of those who lost their life to H**/A*** to those people who have died from other causes…It was indeed a celebration of life and no one in the building where sitting down…she had everyone up and dancing…and We can’t forget the songs that we all grew up on, dancing to Alright, Rhythm Nation, Control – it was indeed a Great Show…and Janet still has the moves….s*** as ever.
Still not missing a Janet post! Always here before I am! These stanemies….
Actually, I would like you to explain why? One may not like her, each to his/her opinion, but Janet always had substance and paved the way for a lot of female artists.
Most of the fools who dislike her, really love her…they just stan for whores like beYAWNce, and GRANDMAdonna….they feel if they say anything good about Janet, they are cheating on those who they stan for. The truth is, Janet does not have to get naked on stage to sell tickets and be as whorish on stage and beYAWNce and GRANDMAdonna. Janet has always been conservative on stage, fully clothed and s***…She has never p**** popped on stage and did all that pole dancing s*** that beYAWNce and GRANDMAdonna does.Janet came out wearing a tight pair of jeans and a turtleneck with some boots and was s*** as hell.
The world take her music seriously B I T C H
And why do you think we care about your opinion. You must be somewhat loony. You clicked on an article about JJ and then went on to leave a message that you don’t care about her music. You must be very lonely. How are the cats?
and I’m sure she doesn`t give a damn…If you listen to her music from past albums up to now you would get the message….get a life.
Wow janet.
Janet really does this s*** she came back and finished the tour and at 50 danced too.
Go janet you are and will always be the blue print.
Queen Janet.
One of a few living legend we have left. She’s definitely a blueprint for many females in this era today.
Definitely coming 2 Europe 2 see Janet!!! Gotta renew my passport asap
I need more!!!! … Guess I’ll be heading overseas! Janet is not escaping me!
I want to see ME on tour soo bad! Congrats Ms.JJ! I went to the original leg of the tour! Slayed!! ❤️❤️
The finale was E-VER-Y-THING!!!! From Missy, to Preston (makeup) and Gil (creative director) joing the dance on So Excited to Samuel Jackson stanning out (check his IG). It was all that a fan could ask for. European fans, if and when she comes your way dont miss this one. First class showmanship all the way. And her dancer Denzel is soooooooooo s***….
I was there and it was epic honey!!!
Queen Janet

No “Son of a Gun”??! Shame on you Gil!! “Burn it Up” doesn’t come close to doing what that song did.
This woman is the blueprint
