Janet Jackson accidentally exposed herself to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
During her performance for the former British monarch, the pop singer revealed she suffered a wardrobe malfunction.
"I was performing for the Queen of England and we were doing ‘Rhythm Nation’. Sure enough, as soon as I squatted, my pants split, right in my booty crack," Jackson, 58, shared with British Vogue.

"I couldn’t believe it happened, I thought ‘Oh, my God.’ And then I started feeling air back there, so I knew it had really happened."
The "All For You" singer explained once she realized her outfit mishap occurred, Jackson adjusted her choreography to only face forward, to avoid the queen seeing her wardrobe malfunction.

Jackson’s comments come after she experienced a major outfit mishap during the 2004 Super Bowl.
During the halftime show, singer Justin Timberlake famously ripped Jackson’s costume, revealing her right breast, which was bare except for a nipple ring. The legendary songstress immediately found herself blacklisted by CBS and MTV and barred from the Grammy telecast.
The "malfunction" happened at the very end of Jackson's performance when Timberlake joined her onstage. It wasn't until Timberlake sang his last line — "I'm gonna have you naked by the end of this song" — that he pulled back a piece of Jackson's outfit and exposed one of her breasts on live television.

"Honestly, this whole thing was blown way out of proportion. And, of course, it was an accident that should not have happened, but everyone is looking for someone to blame and that's got to stop," she said.
"Justin and I are very good friends, and we will always be very good friends. We spoke just a few days ago. He and I have moved on, and it's time for everyone else to do the same."
