“It’s such an important message that I think a lot of people will relate to when they hear it,” Clarkson said. “Is it easy for you to be so vulnerable and put it out there?”

“I think vulnerability is kind of my superpower,” Jelly Roll revealed. “I was a typical angry, alpha, always aggressive boy for a long time and I almost had a mean spirit about me and that didn’t do me any good. I had no emotions, I was just very flat with everyone in life.”

Clarkson was touched by the story.

“I think that’s an important message because I think a lot of people don’t believe in change, and I think it’s very real,” she said. “If someone wants that, I think it’s a very real thing that can happen. And (your story) is a beautiful testament, almost more than your music.”
