Kelly Clarkson joined Jelly Roll on a powerful rendition of “I Am Not Okay” when the Beautifully Broken star appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Clarkson shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the pair singing with one another during sound check on Wednesday morning (October 16).
“I’m excited, and then as soon as she’ll walk in, I’ll be nervous. It’ll go from straight excitement to nerves,” Jelly Roll said. He and Clarkson recalled meeting for the first time at the Grammy Awards. The reigning CMA New Artist of the Year said he “fanned out,” and couldn’t believe Clarkson knew him.
“This song is so good. I’m so excited he’s allowing me to sing on his song, ‘I Am Not Okay,’ and it’s so, so good,” Clarkson said. “I’m just a huge fan. I love authenticity, and I love real messages. I think that…really matters.”
Jelly Roll released “I Am Not Okay” on his highly-anticipated new studio album, Beautifully Broken. The album and a surprise deluxe edition arrived on October 11. Jelly Roll, whose name is Jason DeFord, penned “I Am Not Okay” with Taylor Phillips, Ashley Gorley and Casey Brown. The album made its debut as Jelly Roll continues his headlining “Beautifully Broken Tour” with Warren Zeiders, Alexandra Kay, ERNEST, Shaboozey and Allie Colleen on select dates.
