In a recent segment on Today, Jackson, 56, gave a behind-the-scenes look at the racks and stacks of clothing it takes to get her ready for one of her tour performances.

As Jackson's Together Again Tour is her first time on the road in four years, the pop icon pulled out all the stops for her on-stage style.

Taking Today into the wardrobe room – which has multiple rows of hanging racks, numerous plastic containers, over one-dozen drawers and more shoes than one can count – she spilled some details about the garments she performs in.

After being asked, "Is it heavy?" while holding onto a glitzy gold catsuit, Jackson said, "No, this is light, Valentino did this for me. This is light, this is my opening catsuit." She then shifted gears to a purple hooded cape she wears over the piece, saying, "[Valentino] did this cape, Pier Paolo [Piccioli] did this, this is heavy, it makes me feel very, very, very powerful."
