Dannielynn Birkhead and Janet Jackson got together again.

Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter spent some quality time with Jackson after attending the legendary entertainer’s concert in Cincinnati Saturday.

“After hours of singing, dancing and sweating through the @cincymusicfest we got to hang with @janetjackson,” Dannielynn’s dad, Larry Birkhead, captioned an Instagram photo with the 15-year-old and Jackson, 56.

“She killed it, managed to include all of her hits, sing and dance in the heat and still find time for two of her fans. A great weekend. How cute is Janet 👀 ❤️?”

The father-daughter duo are apparently die-hard fans of the “All for You” singer.

In another Instagram post before the concert, Larry shared that he and Dannielynn could not decide who was the bigger fan.

“We are looking forward to it,” Larry wrote on Instagram before the show. larryanddannielynn/Instagram

“Heading out to Dannielynn’s second Janet Jackson concert (my millionth 😂)in Cincinnati as we sit here arguing which one of us is the bigger Janet fan. 😆,” he wrote beneath a photo of him and the teen sitting together on a couch.

“It’s going to be ‘Nasty’ outside in the 100 degrees weather, but we are looking forward to it. 🎶.”

Dannielynn previously met Jackson at a Kentucky Derby event while wearing one of the entertainer’s iconic outfits. larryanddannielynn/Instagram

This is not the first time the superfans have hung out with Jackson. In May, they all met up when Dannielynn wore one of the Grammy winner’s iconic outfits.

Dannielynn paid tribute to Jackson at the Barnstable Brown Gala during the Kentucky Derby by wearing the same black pantsuit that the “Rhythm Nation” singer wore to the same event in 2003.

“What a night! … Janet was so gracious and complimentary of Dannielynn in her outfit,” Larry captioned a post after the gala. “She made Dannielynn so happy and even graciously posed for a photo with us.”

Meeting Jackson is not the only thing that makes the Kentucky Derby so special for the Birkheads. Larry met Dannielynn’s late mother, Smith, at the event — and that is where their romance began.

Dannielynn was born in 2006, just five months before her model mom died of an accidental drug overdose at the age of 39.

Since Dannielynn was so young when Smith died, Larry revealed in a “20/20” special in 2021 that their daughter “doesn’t really know a ton of things about her mom.”
