Janet Jackson Shares Another Wardrobe Malfunction Story—This Time with Queen Elizabeth

Janet Jackson has shared an amusing anecdote that sheds light on her wardrobe malfunctions beyond the infamous Super Bowl halftime show incident with Justin Timberlake. In a recent video for British Vogue’s “Life in Looks” series, posted on Thursday, Jackson recounted a humorous mishap involving her “Rhythm Nation” costume.

During the interview, Jackson reminisced about a performance for the Queen of England where she wore her iconic “Rhythm Nation” outfit. As she performed, the unexpected happened: her pants tore. “I was performing for the Queen of England and we were doing ‘Rhythm Nation,’” she began. “Sure enough, as soon as I squatted, my pants split right in my booty crack.”

The revelation left fans astonished, especially following the recent discovery of Jackson’s famous family connections. “I couldn’t believe it happened,” Jackson admitted, describing her shock upon feeling “air back there” from the tear. The incident was so significant that it disrupted her performance. To avoid further embarrassment in front of royalty, Jackson adjusted her routine: “So I never turned my back to her, which some of the choreography was supposed to,” she explained. “I just faced forward.”

In addition to this wardrobe blunder, Jackson discussed other memorable moments, including the origin of the key she famously wore on a hoop earring. She explained that the key was a practical accessory she used while cleaning the cages of her family’s numerous pets. Furthermore, she delved into the creation of the “Scream” music video, a collaboration with her brother, Michael Jackson.

Jackson’s candid reflections on these behind-the-scenes experiences offer fans a new perspective on the challenges and quirks of her illustrious career.
