Janet Jackson was awarded the Icon Award at the 2025 American Music Awards in Las Vegas, marking her first television performance in seven years. She performed "Someone to Call My Lover" and "All for You" in an elaborate show, expressing gratitude during her acceptance speech, highlighting her family's values over fame, and inspiring future artists. Jackson's last studio album, Unbreakable, was released in 2015, and she continues to engage with fans through tours and album reissues.
I mean no disrespect in any way, but I don't consider myself an icon. My family, myself-our dream wasn't ever to be famous. We weren't raised like that.
This would have only happened in America. The one thing that I hope for is that I've been an inspiration to others and artists to follow their dreams and succeed.
Because of you and God, I'm standing right here. I wanna thank the AMAs for this honor, which I am humbly grateful.
I want to say, keep God in every part of your life because that's where he wants to be.
