The pop and R&B legend has been serving us hit after hit for over four decades. With more than 100 million records sold worldwide, dozens of chart-topping singles, and numerous awards including multiple Grammys, American Music Awards, and MTV Video Music Awards, Janet’s career is nothing short of legendary. She will be performing live at the ceremony in Las Vegas on May 26. This will be her first televised performance since 2018 and fans, aka the entire internet, are already buzzing.

Hosted by Jennifer Lopez and with Kendrick Lamar leading the nominations this year, the AMAs are shaping up to be one for the books. The ICON Award celebrates artists who have made a global impact on music and pop culture and if anyone fits that bill, it is the Janet Jackson.

Since the Rhythm Nation era that redefined socially conscious pop to the heartfelt anthem Together Again, Janet’s influence on music, fashion, and performance is unmatched. She has inspired generations of artists with her powerful voice, stellar choreography, and fearless creativity, all while staying true to her style and evolving with the times.

So yes, she is still that girl and she is about to remind the world exactly why.
