“You’re so beautiful,” Jackson wrote. “Can’t wait to meet you in person. Love and blessings.”

Taylor was overcome with emotion that her favorite artist took the time to call her. Her husband, NBA player Iman Shumpert filmed the touching moment.

Luckily, Teyana made it to the Detroit leg of the tour to see the ‘Control’ singer kill it on stage.

As promised, Janet extended the invite for Taylor to hang out with her backstage. When they finally met the tears flowed as Teyana hugged her idol for the first time.
