Multi-Platinum Pop Star, 45, Suffers \u2018Malfunction\u2019 During Music Comeback<\/a> originally appeared on Parade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jessica Simpson made her return to the stage on the Today Show and suffered a technical malfunction during her live performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s insane because I\u2019ve had a malfunction here and everywhere \u2013 but it\u2019s OK,\u201d Jessica, 45, told the Today Show hosts as she pointed to her earpiece during the Wednesday, July 23, post-show interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pop star joked that her outfit may have been uncomfortable while performing as she laughed, \u201cI think my boobs stayed in, so that\u2019s good!\u201d<\/p>\n

While rocking out in the Today Plaza in Rockefeller Center, Jessica performed her new songs, including \u201cUse My Heart Against Me\u201d and \u201cBlame Me.\u201d The fashion designer also took the crowd back to 2005 when she sang her version of \u201cThese Boots Are Made For Walking.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new tunes were part of her album, Nashville Canyon, which was released in March. The project was a milestone moment for the Dukes of Hazzard actress, as it was the first album she released since her 2009 holiday album, Happy Christmas.<\/p>\n

Jessica was in high spirits during her post-performance interview on the Today Show, and shared that she created her new music after her world was \u201cflipped upside down.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cWith You\u201d singer announced she separated from husband Eric Johnson in January after nearly ten years of marriage. The estranged couple share three kids, Maxwell “Maxi” Drew, Ace Knute and Birdie Mae, who watched their rockstar momma perform for the first time on the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey know me singing Christmas songs, but they have never seen me on the stage,\u201d Jessica explained. \u201cSo I was like, \u2018Let me get New York out of the way and then y\u2019all can come.\u201d<\/p>\n

The doting mom gushed that her children are her \u201cbiggest supporters\u201d while she has listened to a \u201ccalling to use her voice again in a whole different way.\u201d<\/p>\n
