Janet Jackson Will Perform And Receive ICON Honor At 2025 American Music Awards
Janet Jackson is set to receive a long-overdue and well-deserved honor at the 2025 American Music Awards. Broadcasting live from Fontainebleau Las Vegas this Memorial Day, the music icon will be presented with the coveted ICON Award and grace the stage with a rare performance of some of her most timeless hits — marking her first televised performance since 2018. The ICON Award is one of the highest honors at the AMAs, reserved for artists whose impact on music and culture is both lasting and legendary. Only two artists have received the award before — Rihanna in 2013 and Lionel Richie in 2022 — making Janet's recognition all the more meaningful. At 58, Janet Jackson remains a formidable force in entertainment, since her breakout in 1982. Her accolades speak volumes: five Grammy Awards, 10 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles, and seven No. 1 albums. She's also earned a Golden Globe, an Oscar nomination, multiple MTV and Billboard Music Awards, and a well-earned spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, an honor presented to her by Janelle Monáe in 2019. Adding to the excitement, Janet will kick off a new leg of her Las Vegas residency, JANET JACKSON: LAS VEGAS, just days before the AMAs. The six-show run at Resorts World Theatre begins May 21 and wraps May 31, giving fans an up-close chance to experience the legend. The 2025 American Music Awards will air live at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT on CBS and will stream on Paramount+. And while Janet's spotlight is well-earned, the night will also be a celebration of the current music landscape. Kendrick Lamar leads this year's nominations with 10 nods, followed by Post Malone with eight, and Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Shaboozey with seven each. Fan voting is now open at and on the official @AMAs Instagram until Thursday (May 15).
