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.
