Why Janet Jackson Fans Paid Tribute to Her During 2024 Super Bowl
02/12/2024 10:50 pm EST
The beat goes on
Instead of watching the game or the halftime show, Jackson's fans encourage one another to stream her music all day. Some even throw Janet Jackson-themed parties instead of Super Bowl parties, where they dress as their own rendition of Jackson, listen to her music, and dance.
A major milestone
Jackson has been performing since she was 5. But many consider the Super Bowl Halftime Show to be a peak of one's career.
Duties resume
As a way to honor Jackson, some fans don't watch the Super Bowl at all. The halftime show is not excluded, regardless of who is headlining.
A musical mash-up
Despite the drama that ensured, Jackson's performance was grand at the Super Bowl XXXVIII Halftime Show in 2004. She performed a slew of hits, including "All for You." Jessica Simpson gave the intro. Nelly and Diddy hit the stage for solo performances. The show took place in Houston, Texas.
An overwhelming day
Jackson wasn't the only thing on music lover's minds. It was a big day for R&B icons, as noted in one X user's post.
The bluprint
Jackson continues touring, and is currently on tour for the celebration of the anniversary of her album Together Again. While she probably won't hit the Super Bowl Halftime Show stage again, she's selling out shows worldwide.
