Nick Jonas revealed the one performance blunder that shaped his life. During the Jonas Brothers' appearance on the podcast, the 30-year-old «Waffle House» singer opened up about the performance mishap that sent him to therapy.«Then there was another time during a really tragic guitar solo debacle that happened on live TV,» Nick says. «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.»Nick went on to explain that when the Jonas Brothers were broken up, he joined Kelsea Ballerini for a performance at an awards ceremony and when it was time for him to go into the guitar solo… he messed up.«I come out for my thing, I rehearsed it a million times, I'm feeling really confident about it, not even really thinking about it like it's a thing that's going to be problematic,» he says. «I started off, it was fine and as I walked towards 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.»He continued, «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.»Although the «Jealous» singer says the experience led to some healing, he also called it the «worst moment.» After playing a little coy about the exact performance, Nick revealed it was during the Academy of Country Music Awards.
