“It was a really traumatic moment that shaped the pressure I put on myself to be perfect and to always be on.”
“Peter Pan,” he made a mistake that threw off his whole performance. “There was another time during a really tragic guitar solo debacle that happened on live TV,” he said. “I started off, it was fine, and as I walked toward her, I just went completely blank, and I hit a wrong note and blacked out basically and clocked that it was wrong and I couldn't stop.”
Nick Jonas and Kelsea Ballerini perform onstage during the 51st Academy of Country Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 3, 2016.Jonas says he was whisked away immediately after the performance and on a plane in the blink of an eye. “I looked at my manager and said, 'I think that was bad.' I was, like, in shock kinda,” he said.
Seven years later, Jonas still thinks about it. “In retrospect, I can kind of laugh about how big I thought it was,” he said. “But it did travel more than I wish it would have, and it did cause me to go to therapy.” Thankfully, Ballerini didn't notice a thing. “It was awesome. It was my first big kid award show performance and I was so excited to do ‘Peter Pan,’” she toldimmediately after the show back in 2016. “It's my favorite song I've gotten to release so far, and then to be able to share it with Nick—who is one of my favorite artists since I was like 12—it was just super cool.”Despite the mishap, the pair reunited for another performance in 2021.
