Last year pop star Janet Jackson alienated a large section of her fan base after wading into politics to side with Donald Trump [click here if you missed that].
In totally unrelated news, Janet's new Las Vegas residency is struggling to sell tickets...
From The Sun
JANET Jackson is struggling to sell tickets to her Las Vegas residency, and about 60% of seats are still available for Wednesday night's premiere performance, The U.S. Sun can confirm.
The iconic pop star and sister to the late Michael Jackson previously completed a sold-out, 10-day residency from December through January of this year at Resorts World.
The Vegas hotel signed on to bring Janet, 59, back for shorter run in February that stretched over Valentine's Day, and then again this week from May 21 through May 31 with six shows.
But with the big opening night just one day away, ticket sales on AXS show a majority of seats in the 5,000 person venue still available.
The other dates do not look much more packed than the premiere.
Prices range from just above $50 to $444 a seat, according to the ticketing site.
A rep for Janet did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Good. She's part of the reason we're stuck with Trump. I hope she never makes another dime. Come @ me and see if I give a dame.
Why are you pushing low iq information to my people? In no way did Janet side with Trump. All she did was question Kamala's race claim. It's a valid question when you consider she claimed Indian before.
There used to be a time when it was acceptable to question that kind of thing.
Good
Awwwww. Poor Janet.
Yeah I don't remember hearing about her siding with Dump. Unless I missed something. She seems to be out of touch with the real world. It happens when rich ppl don't keep up with the real world and forget where they come from. LOLO
Didn't know she was in Vegas. Just need better marketing. At least.
She did not endorse a presidential candidate.
True she didn't endorse either one but she only spoke negatively about one, too.
@12:08 Kamala never just claimed to be just Indian, that was a Trump yt supremist trick that they always have used to separate us. Kamala has always claimed her black side. She joined a Black sorority the AKA's and went to a Black college, and has always attented and supported African American patronizing ✅️
For Janet to have a mixed race child and then question someone else's multi -racial background is her being beyond a HYPOCRITE She has a mixed race child, almost all the Jackson klan has mixed race kids, and Micheal has 3 whole white ones they still trying to pass off as Black. 🤷🏽♀️
She absolutely was backing Trump. It's a free country her choice. Just like it's a choice for people NOT buy tickets to her show. I'm done with her. These celbs think they can do fuc*ed up sh*t, release a song and we just forgive and forget. Nah...there is NO separation of artist and music for me. The artist MADE the music and the artist and the music can get the boot. Karma rolling right in on her. Good.✅️ Let Maga buy the tickets since that's who she was shucking and jiving for. Her Nelly, Snoop, Coonye all of them can kick a million rocks🪨. Especially her because she knew EXACTLY what she was doing yet has a mixed race child at home. When someone hurts her child's feelings over acceptance and race , know she had that coming too✅️ Make America Great Again by NOT buying these tickets 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She had a sucessful tour in 2024. Why travel to see her in Nevada when she performed in practically every region of the country over the past 12 or so months? I could see it if she was perhaps retiring. Everbody that I know who saw her show did so in other cities. I don't believe the reason behind low ticket sales has to do with politics.
Janet ain’t never been able to carry a note, just a good performer with the last name Jackson. Nor has she EVER embraced being blk. But she don’t mind spending yall ninjas money 🤣. Folks finally seeing her for the yt lady she wants to be.
She's been touring for years. She'll be fine. Not like you brokeys who need public school medicare and social security
These celebrities gonna learn to stay out of politics when they still have mouths to feed. That's why I'm confused as to why at her big age of almost 60 she's still touring so much anyway. I can see doing the occasional "did ya miss me?' type tour here and there but she's been going non-stop. And a residency is guaranteed money for celebs who got lots of bills but Janet only has one kid and a billionaire EX-husband. She must be bored, broke or need her ego stroked.
Funny how i dont see any "sit down and raise your child" comments... hmmm but yall say that to the other female performer....
I agree she should go raise her kid -- they all need to. Mariah did it but she wasn't broke. Janet doesn't have that option because the billionaire Arab ain't having it and they don't play that. She'll be walking around here without a head if she dared to try and take that boy from him.
12:43, that was my thought. She tours a ton and already had a Vegas residency. It ain't about politics, anybody who was dying to see her, already has. And this isn't like a normal concert, Vegas requires flight, ticket, hotel, transportation, and food. Folks can barely afford food, nobody is trying to go see her for the 3rd time.
That’s the way love goes
irresponsible reporting
1:07 PM
Sounds like we have Yt trash that has invaded the RWS. LOLO
Fake news, she just added me dates.
Trump is not to blame for this lol. She has LACKLUSTER performances all over YT and the internet and her true fans have already supported it. Her Vocals are not stronger and her dancing is giving retirement home vibes. Janet is TIRED and it shows
1:07 you sound like an uptight, small peen having man.
There was a time i woulda tried to go, but…nahhhhh. No thanks after her Kamala antics.
Now, hmm…where is Madonna? She won’t let herself age properly but I think I’d go to Vegas for her hits only tour.
Trump supported the Jackson Family.
Janet needs a headliner - Katt Williams
People just don't have money for all this ish. Katy Perry is also struggling to sell tickets and Resorts World is PISSSST because she gets the payout no matter if the seats are sold out/mostly sold out or not. As it's already been mentioned, Vegas is an expensive place. Flight + hotel + Ubers + super expensive resort food and drinks??? No ma'am. I'm good. I'll catch your free performance on TV. It ain't that serious -- and yes, especially after the "she's not black" statement like 12:43 said. She knows better because she has a mixed race kid and the entire Jackson family needs to sit down because with the exception of about 3 of them, they don't really identify with their blackness either. So yeah 🤷🏽♀️
My issue with Janet commenting about Kamala Harris is she did shade her. I didn’t vote for her many reasons but did Janet vote? She doesn’t even live here anymore. She did lose support because why say anything. What exactly was Janet supporting if Trump wasn’t the favor of the two candidates. Didn’t make any sense to me.
Kamala Harris prosecuted her brother as district attorney in California. Janet talked slick because she never forgot.
^ Exactly. Janet intentionally sabotaged Harris’s chance at POTUS because of her hurt feelings. And here we are with Snitch giving us Black history lessons because our history is being taken from us. Gotdam, gotdam.
Thomas Sneddon prosecuted Michael Jackson not Kamala Harris. try again.
It's irresponsible for snitch to speculate about ticket sales but it wasn't irresponsible for Janet to speculate about Kamala's race when it was being used against her in an important election? give me a break.
@7:43. THAT PART💯👏🏽
Janet! Aknowledge your 40+ year old De-Barge daughter
