Janet Jackson Flaunts Her Weight Loss And Accepts An 'Icon Award' At The American Music Awards

The 59-year-old attended the American Music Awards on Monday, May 26th, and was a highly anticipated honored guest, as she was given the Icon Award. The award is given to musicians who have made an influence on pop music, which many pop culture enthusiasts would agree Janet has done.

 

In addition to accepting the award, the singer performed a medley of some of her hit songs, like "Someone to Call My Lover" and "All For You." She wore a white tank top, denim jeans, and a cropped white jacket that showed off her cinched waist. After her performance, she made a speech where she admitted that she didn't see herself as an 'icon,' but as someone whose notoriety "came as a result of hard work and dedication" and a love for singing and dancing, as reported by CBS News.

 

When the awards ceremony came to a close, internet users began discussing all of the celebrity appearances, especially Janet's. They also couldn't help but notice how amazing she looked, which could be due to her recent weight loss.

Fans React To Janet's Slim Appearance At The AMAs On Social Media

Once pictures and videos of the famous Jackson family members were posted on social media following the pop music award ceremony, people began commenting on her thinner frame and glowing skin.

 

On Instagram, the AMAs posted a video of her accepting her Icon award, where fans flooded the comment section with compliments. "How good does she look?!" wrote a fan.

 

"She looks amazing," added another.

 

"Congratulations, Janet," commented a supportive fan. "You are the best!"

 

"Janet is looking good!" added another.

 

The singer has noticeably lost weight over the last few years, with some reports stating she's lost around 60 pounds. While she hasn't gotten too specific on what she's been doing to shed some excess weight, she's been open about dealing with body image issues and finding a healthy balance with clean eating and exercise.

 

No matter how she's transformed her body, Janet's fans are extra supportive of this chapter of her life, praising her for her great looks and achievements in music.
