Kelly Clarkson is a serious star for varied NBC exhibits by this level within the 2025 TV schedule, and whereas she’ll be lacking a part of the upcoming season of The Voice attributable to Brandon Blackstock’s dying, her latest present debuted on August 19. The pre-filmed sequence, known as Songs & Tales with Kelly Clarkson, options the OG American Idol winner going in-depth with varied music stars, beginning with the Jonas Brothers within the sequence premiere. They did not disappoint, and among the many tales they shared together with her was of when Nick was severely injured… proper earlier than the “Depart Earlier than You Love Me” music video.
Now, Nick Jonas’ harm wasn’t precisely a secret earlier than they arrived on the subject on Songs & Tales, however the three brothers telling the story proper to Kelly Clarkson put a a lot funnier spin on it than I would seen earlier than. The origin of the harm goes again to a 2021 NBC present known as Olympic Desires That includes Jonas Brothers, which concerned the brothers making an attempt out varied Olympic occasions. In accordance with Joe Jonas, the thought sounded enjoyable “on paper,” whereas Kevin Jonas joked that they have been completely “gaslit” about what they’d should do. Joe went on, detailing what occurred to Nick proper earlier than the “Depart Earlier than You Love Me” video:
In regards to the music video, should you watch it again, you will discover that Nick’s not shifting in any respect, as a result of the day earlier than that we have been filming one thing the place… we’ve lots of bizarre hats we have worn in our profession to date, and we have been competing in our personal Olympic-style video games…. Our final one was a motocross racing occasion, and Nick had a spill, and it was fairly unhealthy. It was fairly brutal. After which the following day, we shot the video, so you will see he actually can not transfer his physique
Problem accepted, Joe Jonas, as a result of I did watch it again! As someone who grew up as a part of the Backstreet Boys era somewhat than the heyday of the Jonas Brothers, I am not an professional on the trio’s work… however even I heard “Depart Earlier than You Love Me” and noticed the video after it got here out in Might 2021. Upon rewatching it after the premiere of Songs & Tales, I spotted what had been there all alongside however I would by no means seen: Nick barely shifting. Have a look for your self:
Watch On
The Jonas Brothers’ collaboration with Marshmello was successful, and the “Depart Earlier than You Love Me” music video got here collectively easily sufficient that I did not catch Nick Jonas shifting an entire lot lower than Kevin and Joe till this Songs & Tales episode. Because it seems, ending that shoot did not imply that Nick might simply go residence and relaxation. After Kevin famous that Nick had to make use of a cane for a bit attributable to his injured ribs, Nick himself defined:
We have been doing The Voice on the time. It was like three or 4 days later, I used to be on set… and Blake [Shelton] thought I used to be being dramatic.
Kelly Clarkson was additionally a Coach on The Voice throughout each of Nick Jonas’ seasons, so she recalled when he was injured on set. She additionally seemingly took a lighthearted shot at Blake Shelton… with some selection language, as a result of her phrasing was bleeped out within the NBC broadcast!
In case you missed the NBC broadcast and wish to try the complete episode, you’ll discover it streaming with a Peacock subscription beginning on August 20. Even should you’re not the world’s greatest fan of the Jonas Brothers, I would say that it is value a watch simply to see Clarkson harmonizing with the trio as a reminder of why she crushes her “Kellyoke” covers.
New episodes of Songs & Tales with Kelly Clarkson will proceed airing on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET, following the stay exhibits of America’s Obtained Expertise. Solely 4 episodes whole have been produced, however some large names will likely be showcased after the Jonas Brothers within the premiere.
