Janet Jackson’s State of the World Tour, the continuance to her temporarily rescheduled Unbreakable World Tour, has already been lauded as one of the 51-year-old performer’s best musical excursions of her career, and it’s barely four shows in, as of this posting.
Be that as it may, the title of the tour is not one that most outside of the “No Sleeep” entertainer’s fan base are totally familiar with.
As it just so happens, the State of the World Tour actually gets its name from the fourth track from Jackson’s 1989 release, Rhythm Nation 1814, and the socially conscious song, “State of the World,” which was pushed to radio as the album’s eighth official single in February of 1991, according to Genius.
