Nick Jonas needed professional help after one particular performance.
The 30-year-old Jonas Brothers star opened up about needing to talk it out in therapy following an awards show performance that he described as “tragic.”
In a recent appearance on the Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard podcast, Nick revealed that he needed to have therapy after what happened when he and Kelsea Ballerini were performing on stage together in 2016. He shared:
“Then there was another time during a really tragic guitar solo debacle that happened happened on live TV.
In retrospect, I can kind of laugh about how big I thought it was. But it did travel more than I wish it would have, and it did cause me to go to therapy.”
He went on to explain that when the Jonas Brothers were broken up, he joined Kelsea for a performance at the 2016 Academy Of Country Music Awards. When it was time for his solo, Nick messed up:
“Til this day and hours after unpacking it, I can’t really figure out exactly what happened, but I was rushed to a car and rushed to a plane right after it and I looked at my manager and said, ‘I think that was bad.’ I was like in shock kinda. Like it was a really traumatic moment that shaped the pressure I put on myself to be perfect and to always be on.”
Nick called it his “worst moment.”
