Jessica Simpson Pushes Through Wardrobe Malfunction on ‘Today’

Jessica Simpson isn’t letting a little wardrobe mishap get in the way of her comeback!
The singer, 44, suffered a wardrobe malfunction on the Wednesday, July 23 edition of Today when she took to the stage with new music after a 15-year hiatus.
During the show, she performed a medley of her past hits, such as “I Think I’m in Love with You” and “With You,” as well as her new release, “Fade.” As she sang, Simpson’s pink bra was exposed when her corset-style top appeared to slip down.
The singer kept her cool during the mishap and readjusted her outfit once she realized it had slipped down.

Following her performance, Simpson laughed off the incident while speaking to the Today hosts.
“Of course I had a malfunction here and everywhere, but it’s OK,” she joked. “I think my boobs stayed in, so it’s OK.”
Simpson also spoke about how it felt “insane” and “really beautiful” to return to stage for the TV performance after so long.
“Today it was like, ‘Okay, get out of your head. Get out of your head. Who cares if your shoe falls off? Who cares if you forget a lyric?’” she said. “Honestly, it’s just about being able to be up there and be vulnerable and that feels really beautiful.”

In May, Simpson stepped out for her first TV performance in 15 years, singing at the Season 23 American Idol finale.
Earlier this year, Simpson released her comeback EP, Nashville Canyon: Pt. 1, and part two is slated for release on September 4, 2025.
The pop star alludes to her marriage troubles with ex-husband Eric Johnson in the lyrics of several songs.
Among these songs is “Leave,” which includes the lyrics: “What we had was magic / Now you made it tragic / Giving her what you gave to me / Now the well that you drank from’s empty.”

Simpson and Johnson separated after 10 years of marriage earlier this year. After dating for several years, the former couple tied the knot at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California in 2014. The pair share three children, Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5.
“Eric and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” Simpson, who began dating Johnson in 2010, told Us Weekly in a statement in January.  “Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”
