In an exciting recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, music sensation Kelly Clarkson joined forces with rising star Jelly Roll for a heartfelt performance of his new track, I Am Not Okay. The collaboration took place during a sound check on October 16, 2024, where Clarkson shared a behind-the-scenes look at their musical chemistry.

Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, expressed a mix of excitement and nerves at the prospect of performing with Clarkson, stating, “I’m excited, and then as soon as she’ll walk in, I’ll be nervous. It’ll go from straight excitement to nerves.” The two artists reminisced about their first meeting at the Grammy Awards, where Jelly Roll admitted he was starstruck, saying he couldn’t believe that Clarkson even recognized him.

Clarkson, a long-time admirer of Jelly Roll, praised the authenticity of his music and the powerful messages embedded in his lyrics. She shared her enthusiasm for being part of the song, saying, “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. I’m just a huge fan. I love authenticity, and I love real messages. I think that… really matters.”

The track I Am Not Okay is featured on Jelly Roll’s much-anticipated studio album, Beautifully Broken, which was released alongside a surprise deluxe edition on October 11, 2024. The song was co-written by Jelly Roll, along with talented songwriters Taylor Phillips, Ashley Gorley, and Casey Brown.
