All of our favs are on tour this year and though our wallets may never recover, it will be worth it.
Starting things off is THEE pop Queen, Janet Damita Jo Jackson, whose “Together Again” tour opened this weekend at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida. The 56-year-old icon is embarking on what may be one of her final tours and making it super-special for her supporters along the way.
For one big fan of Jackson, Sheinelle Jones, the tour has already been a dream come true. Jones, who works for TODAY
, wore the singer’s historic “Rhythm Nation” outfit for Halloween, and was invited by Jackson, herself, to take part in the moment, which was captured on video by the show.“I would love for you to join me (on stage),” Jackson said to Jones. “You should.”
And that she did.
“You didn’t have to ask me twice. I am hours away from hitting that stage and living my best life,” she said before the concert. With a short amount of time to learn the choreography before joining Jackson onstage for “Together Again,” Jones said she was determined to get it just right, spending two hours in her room rehearsing.
“You’ll be fine,” Jackson told Jones as
she left her with the dancers to learn the choreography. And when the time came, Jones was ready to deliver. “Suddenly, my nerves melted away and I just embraced the magic of the moment and the next thing I knew I was dancing with Janet Jackson,” she said.Jones realized she was living the dream of so many Black girls who grew up idolizing the “Control” singer. “To take that little girl who was dancing and making up moves in my basement and to be on stage with her, it’s crazy,” Jones said.
We stan a queen who loves her fans as much as they love her!
