Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
It wasn’t long ago that a Texas gig from Janet Jackson—Miss Jackson if you’re nasty—caused an uproar. That was back in 2004 at Houston’s Reliant Stadium as part of Super Bowl XXXVIII’s halftime festivities, when, in her performance with Justin Timberlake, Timberlake ripped off part of her outfit to expose her bare, nipple-ringed breast.
This time through the region, we can only assume the show will be a tad tamer. On this “Number Ones: Up Close and Personal” tour, Jackson is performing the greatest songs from her 30-year solo career; everything from “Rhythm Nation” and “Control” to “Again” and “All For You” seems to be covered on preliminary set lists.
Expect a tribute to departed brother Michael somewhere during her performance as well.
