Alicia Keys is flattered by Janet Jackson‘s not-so-secret crush.
On Instagram Sunday, the 40-year-old “Underdog” singer posted a screenshot of an article from 2008 when Jackson, 55, revealed she had a crush on her.
In an interview with E! Online, Janet Jackson said that if she were to ever enter a lesbian relationship, it would be with Alicia Keys.
“I always knew I was BAE But when @janetjackson says it ????,” the 15-time Grammy winner captioned the snap.
The “Girl on Fire” singer then gave Jackson a shout out, promoting her Lifetime and A&E documentary Janet, adding, “Make sure you watch OUR Sis, THE ICON’s Doc ?????”
Jackson’s documentary, which premiered over the weekend in a two-night Lifetime and A&E event, features the star in candid conversation about everything from her personal relationships to her professional triumphs. Its release commemorates the 40th anniversary celebration of the pop icon’s debut album.
Janet — which was more than “five years in the making” and featured “never before seen footage” — was announced in March 2020 and was filmed around the time of the death of her father, Joe Jackson, in June 2018.
In the new doc, the famously private star pulled back the curtain on her complicated relationships with her later father Joe and brother Michael, her ill-fated marriages to James DeBarge and René Elizondo Jr, and her infamous Super Bowl halftime show in 2004 with Justin Timberlake.
Alicia Keys, original name Alicia Augello Cook, (born January 25, 1981, New York, New York, U.S.), American singer-songwriter, pianist, and actress, who achieved enormous success in the early 2000s with her blend of R&B and soul music.
Alicia Keys was born in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan, to Terria Joseph (née Teresa M. Augello), a paralegal who was also an occasional actress, and Craig Cook, a flight attendant. Her father is African-American and her mother, who is Caucasian, is of Italian and English/Irish/Scottish ancestry.
The song ‘Fallin’ made Alicia Keys famous.
This was the very first single off her 2001 debut album “Songs in A Minor.” It went on to win four Grammy awards, and to this day is one of Keys’ most popular hits, thanks to her relatable lyrics about falling for someone who might not be good for you.
Alicia Keys has written and produced for her five studio albums, in collaborations, for other artists and for film and theater. Keys began composing songs she would later include on her debut studio album, Songs in A Minor at age 14.
