Jessica Simpson Reacts to Her ‘American Idol’ Performance: ‘I Was Dying’

  • Jessica Simpson performed live on the American Idol season 23 finale on March 21, 2025, marking her first TV performance in 15 years.
  • Her comeback followed a 16-year gap since her last original work and came amid her recent separation from Eric Johnson after 10 years of marriage.
  • Simpson performed Nancy Sinatra's 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin'' with eliminated contestant Josh King, but online viewers widely criticized the act as 'cringeworthy' and a 'train wreck'.
  • She revealed that she was incredibly anxious before her performance, describing the feeling as raw and vulnerable, particularly when singing tracks from her latest extended play released this year.
  • Despite mixed reception, Simpson expressed gratitude for the opportunity, and her closest supporters, including her children FaceTiming her during the show, backed her return to music.
