Jessica Simpson rolls with wardrobe malfunction on 'Today' show
The multi-hyphenate "A Public Affair" singer, 45, rolled with the punches when she experienced a minor wardrobe malfunction while performing on the "Today" show's Citi Concert Series Wednesday, July 23.
While performing a medley of her '90s and 2000s hits "I Think I'm in Love with You" and "With You," her pale pink satin corset-style top appeared to slip down on the left side, showing a pink bra.
"Of course, I have, like, a malfunction here and everywhere. But it's OK. I think my boob stayed in, so that's good," she told the "Today" hosts afterward.
Simpson, whose last musical project was a Christmas album in 2010, released the first half of her two-part EP, "Nashville Canyon, Part 1," in March. Her set melded songs new and old, from "Fade" off her upcoming September EP release to 2005's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'."
"It was incredibly healing" to write new songs, Simpson told co-host Jenna Bush-Hager. "I was in Nashville; it was a crazy time for me. My life literally flipped upside down, and I really just had to focus on my purpose."
She was "trying to inspire myself to get back up there, have the courage to do it in the face of heartbreak and the face of life completely changing," Simpson added.
"Music saved my life. Nashville saved my life. All the songwriters, my band, everybody."
In January, the singer and businesswoman revealed in a statement shared with USA TODAY that she and her husband of 10 years, Eric Johnson, were "living separately (and) navigating a painful situation in our marriage."
They share three children: daughter Maxwell Drew, 13, son Ace Knute, 12, and daughter Birdie Mae, 6.

Bill Hader reveals why he turned down 'SNL50' appearance
Where was Bill Hader at "SNL50"? The comedian is getting real about his absence. In an appearance on "Late Night With Seth Meyers," Hader revealed he was invited to participate in the 50th anniversary special of "Saturday Night Live," which aired in February, but he turned it down. According to Hader, who starred on "SNL" from 2005 to 2013, Andy Samberg asked him to star in a pre-recorded digital short about how everyone suffers from anxiety while working at "SNL." Ironically, he declined because of his anxiety. "When he told me about it, I was like, 'I don't know if I want to do that,' " Hader said. "He's like, 'Why?' I'm like, 'Because I'm anxious! I don't want to do it.' He was like, 'Come on, man! What do you mean?' " Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox Hader's role in the short wound up being played by "SNL" star Bowen Yang instead. "He was great," Hader told Meyers. "But, no, that was true. I was really shaky and everything. I was really anxious." The digital short began with Samberg calling Yang, who says he's not going to go to the "SNL" 50th anniversary special because the show gives him anxiety. Samberg then launches into a song about how "everyone who ever worked at 'SNL' had anxiety." Hader's absence on "SNL50" was notable, given that the special brought back many of its most famous performers throughout the years, from Bill Murray to Eddie Murphy. A representative for the "Barry" star previously told Variety that he did not attend the live show because of a "long-standing scheduling conflict." 'It doesn't seem real': Bill Hader 'in shock' after Los Angeles home survives wildfires Hader has opened up about his struggles with anxiety in the past. Speaking to GQ in 2018, he said that "doing that show was really hard for me," and the outlet reported that Hader used to "stand backstage hyperventilating and staring at the floor." See the pics: Ali Wong and Bill Hader go red carpet official at DGA Awards "It was this funny thing of being trapped by this thing that was hurting you," he told GQ. "I had to go to a therapist and do meditation − all these things to try to calm my nerves. It was becoming really detrimental for my performing." In his Aug. 5 "Late Night" appearance, Hader recalled how he would be "trembling" and "anxious" when going out on stage at "SNL" − in contrast to Meyers, who would be calm and collected even if something went wrong. Hader wasn't the only "SNL" alum who skipped the 50th anniversary special. After fans wondered why Dan Aykroyd didn't make an appearance, the comedian recently told Entertainment Weekly he preferred to watch the show at home. "I knew if I was there, I'd be in a dressing room, I'd be working," he said. "I wanted to see it live. I'm a fan of the show today, and I watch it all the time. I love these new players; I think they're just great. I just wanted to see and live nostalgically with my family in my own home, eating my own popcorn."
