The queen is back! Superstar Janet Jackson commenced her much-anticipated State Of The World tour on Thursday (Sept. 7) night in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Only eight months after giving birth to her son, Jackson came to slay, as she performed some of her classic hits that were remixed with some newer tracks. From performing smashes like "What Have You Done for Me Lately," "Control," "Rhythm Nation," "I Get Lonely," "All For You," "Nasty," Jackson tore the stage down and everyone in the audience loved every minute of it.
The star knew exactly what she was doing, as soon as she took to the stage. "You know I came to snatch a couple of wigs," the singer/dancer said to her adoring fans -- and she did.
Yup @JanetJackson said what y'all thought she was playing?😂🤣 this what she do! Snatch edges for a living🤷🏽♀️ https://t.co/9R1Kwmh5O3

One of the many special moments of the concert was when Jackson remixed certain songs. For instance, she combined "What Have You Done for Me Lately" with Cardi B's "Bodak Yellow" and everybody lost their minds. See that below.
