Janet Jackson Surprised a Superfan Dad and His Reaction Was So Endearing
Janet Jackson surprised a fan after his two sons got him tickets to watch her perform during her Las Vegas "Metamorphosis" residency.
KB Strawder Jr. and his brother shocked their dad on Father's Day with this gift but little did he know that he would be meeting Jackson too.
Janet Jackson, 53, gave a fan a surprise he will most certainly never forget.
It all started when KB Strawder Jr. and his brother gave their dad tickets to go see Jackson during her "Metamorphosis" Las Vegas residency show for Father's Day. Strawder Jr. posted the video on Twitter of his dad opening the gift, jumping off the couch and screaming "Oh my goodness!" after he realized what was happening.
Fast forward to the weekend of August 9, when the time finally came for Strawder Jr., his brother, and his dad to watch Jackson perform at the Park MGM hotel and casino. After enjoying Jackson's show, they all headed backstage and that's when the magic happened.
"I've been a fan for years. Janet and I are the same age...It was fantastic. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was full of energy. Great music. Just a great time altogether," the dad says in a video Jackson shared on Instagram.
What he doesn't realize is that Jackson was standing right behind him listening to his candid thoughts about her performance the entire time.
"That's really sweet. I'm glad you liked that whole thing," the mother of two-year-old Eissa says as she embraces the overjoyed father from behind. After letting out a gasp from hearing her voice, the dad is absolutely speechless as he turns around and hugs her.
