“Hey u guys, I’m so excited to announce my new Vegas residency, ‘Metamorphosis’!” she wrote on Twitter. “A celebration of my journey and the 30th anniversary of #RhythmNation!”

“’Metamorphosis’ peels back the layers of the immensely private life of Janet Jackson, sharing her transformation from a young girl with issues of self-esteem to global Icon,” the announcement for the residency read, per Variety.

It continued: “Fans will follow her path to self-love, empowerment, motherhood and activism, amidst the challenges faced along her personal journey. She encourages her audiences to find their own light within themselves through her ‘Metamorphosis.’”

Jackson’s residency announcement comes ahead of her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, slated to take place on March 29 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. It was Jackson’s third time receiving a nomination for the honor.
