Even the biggest stars can get overwhelmed at industry events.
Nick Jonas is sharing the real story of why he was seen taking a breather alone at the 2026 Golden Globes Awards on Sunday (January 11), per People. A video shared by Parade caught the Jonas Brothers musician enjoying a moment for himself away from the hustle and bustle of the major awards ceremony, standing outside of the event, looking around and sipping on water. The short clip has since gone viral and drawn many comments, including one fan account on X that said "social anxiety got the best of him."
Jonas candidly responded to the statement, confirming it to be true with a reference to his latest single "Gut Punch," replying, "Yeah... it hit me like gut punch." The single, which dropped January 1 and features on his upcoming album Sunday Best, details Jonas' battle with self-doubt.
Fans were loving the honesty and were quick to reply with their own words of encouragement.
"You're doing amazing sweetie!!!! We all got the social anxiety blues," one user wrote, while another sympathized, "It's okay! It gets the best of us all sometimes."
Jonas wasn't the only one with nerves. Even his wife, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, explained on the red carpet that events like the Globes can be anxiety-inducing; however, she shared that having her husband there puts her more at ease. The pair were even see playfully bickering about their "guilty pleasure" TV habits while on the red carpet.
