Jelly Roll is giving back to first responders who have been battling the fires in Los Angeles for over a month.

The Grammy nominee partnered with Live Nation Saturday night at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California, for the "A Concert for All First Responders" to thank them for their efforts.

"I want you to know that you are here tonight because you are a hero or you are a loved one of a hero," he told the audience from the stage.

He continued, "And I knew the moment I was watching this go down all the way in Tennessee in my house, I thought if I got a chance to go to California I was gonna play music to everyone who worked their ass off for the last 2 months trying to keep the rest of this place safe. Thank y’all for having me tonight – this is awesome!"

The audience included almost 16,000 emergency personnel, including more than 1,000 incarcerated firefighters from across the state.

California has utilized inmates to combat fires for over a century, according to reporting from NPR.

During the two-hour event, Jelly Roll was joined by several guests, including Lainey Wilson, his "Save Me," duet partner, Nate Smith, Shinedown, Marshmello and Public Enemy.

"Music has the power to bring joy and healing, and we’re honored to partner with Jelly Roll to offer that to those who’ve served the Los Angeles community during the devastating wildfires and the rebuilding process," said Geni Lincoln, president of California, Live Nation Concerts. 

The concert for first responders came one day after Jelly Roll’s appearance at FireAid, raising funds for victims of the Los Angeles fires and featuring artists like Gwen Stefani and No Doubt, Dave Grohl, Billie Eilish, Katy Perry and many more.

Jelly Roll’s performance for first responders comes on the heels of the announcement of his acting debut on a show all about firefighters, CBS’ "Fire Country."

In a promotional video released Friday, the "Son of a Sinner" singer joined series creator Max Thieriot to deliver the news to fans.

"From the stage to the fire line, it’s time to see if I can keep up," Jelly Roll said. 

His episode will air in April, and Billboard reports that he will be playing a hospital orderly named Noah.

Jelly Roll also guest starred on "Tulsa King," in a cameo playing himself, making "Fire Country" the first time he’ll be playing a character.

It's been nearly two weeks since Billy Ray Cyrus stumbled onstage during a performance at President Donald Trump's inauguration celebration. Since then, fans and family members have voiced concerns about the "Achy Breaky Heart" crooner, questioning his health and stability. 

On Jan. 23, Billy Ray's adopted son, Trace, wrote a message on Instagram, expressing his family's worry and asking his father to seek help. 

A few days later, Billy Ray seemingly responded to Trace's public plea, saying he continues to pray for his children and their mother. 

BILLY RAY CYRUS EXPLAINS TRUMP INAUGURAL BALL PERFORMANCE THAT CONCERNED FANS

"Let this moment be the start of healing for us all," he wrote on Instagram. 

The public feuding is nothing new for the Cyrus clan. As a prominent family in the music industry, each member, including Billy Ray, ex-wife Tish, and their children — Trace, Brandi, Miley, Braison and Noah, — have experienced various forms of betrayal and heartache, all while navigating the chaos in the public eye. 

Here's a look at the Cyrus family and the drama that has unfolded throughout the years. 

From allegations of abuse to public rifts with his children, the patriarch of the Cyrus family has had his share of ups and downs. 

Billy Ray married Tish Cyrus in 1992. The musician adopted Tish's children, Trace and his older sister, Brandi, at the time. The couple later welcomed children Miley Cyrus, Braison Cyrus and Noah Cyrus before their divorce in 2022. The singer is also father to Christopher Cyrus with ex-wife Kristin Luckey.

After announcing his divorce from Tish in April 2022, Billy Ray got engaged to Firerose, whose real name Johanna Rosie Hodges, that August.

BILLY RAY CYRUS CLAIMS ESTRANGED WIFE BEGGED HIM TO TAKE HER BACK AFTER NASTY SPLIT

"Everyone knew that that relationship was over a long time ago," Billy Ray told People magazine of his split from Tish. "Everybody's turning the page. It's been a lot, but everyone knew that it was time for a change."

Billy Ray and Firerose married in October 2023. The following May, Billy Ray filed for an annulment, citing "irreconcilable differences" and alleged "inappropriate marital conduct" in documents obtained by Fox News Digital at the time. 

Toward the end, both claimed they were victims of abuse in their marriage. 

Earlier this month, Billy Ray sparked concern after a confusing performance at Trump's inauguration celebration Jan. 20. 

In a statement to People magazine the next day, he said, "I wouldn’t have missed the honor of playing this event whether my microphone, guitar and monitors worked or not. I was there because President Donald J. Trump invited me. 

"I had a ball at the Liberty Ball last night, and I’ve learned through all these years when the producer says, 'You’re on,' you go entertain the folks even if the equipment goes to hell. I was there for the people, and we had a blast. That’s called rock n' roll!!!"

Tish's relationship with Billy Ray had its flaws throughout their marriage. The Cyrus family matriarch and Billy Ray had previously gone through two divorce filings before officially calling it quits in 2022. 

In April 2022, Tish filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences."

"It is after 30 years, five amazing children and a lifetime of memories, we have decided to go our separate ways — not with sadness, but with love in our hearts," Tish and Billy Ray said in a joint statement to People at the time. "We have grown up together, raised a family we can be so proud of and it is now time to create our own paths.

"We will always be family and look forward to a continued and loving shared experience as friends and parents. We have not come to this decision lightly or quickly, but with so much going on in the world, we wanted to provide some clarity and closure, so we can remain focused on what is important, With Love and Hopec… Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus."

Tish, who has been daughter Miley's manager for years, tied the knot with actor Dominic Purcell a year later. The wedding sparked rumors of a family feud when fans noticed her children, Noah and Braison, weren't in attendance. 

Noah, who was reported to have casually dated Purcell before Tish, and Braison allegedly spent their mother's wedding day together at Walmart, where Noah wore a Billy Ray shirt and posted a cryptic message about loving her father to her Instagram story. 

Miley, 32, and Billy Ray starred on the Disney Channel teen sitcom "Hannah Montana" for four seasons, from 2006 to 2011. 

In a 2011 interview with GQ, Billy Ray said the show "destroyed" his family. 

"I'll tell you right now — the damn show destroyed my family. And I sit there and go, 'Yeah, you know what? Some gave all.' It is my motto, and guess what? I have to eat that one. I some-gave-all'd it all right. I some-gave-all'd it while everybody else was going to the bank. It's all sad."

When asked if he "wished ‘Hannah Montana' never happened," he said, "I hate to say it, but yes, I do. Yeah. I'd take it back in a second. For my family to be here and just everybody be OK, safe and sound and happy and normal, would have been fantastic. Heck, yeah. I'd erase it all in a second if I could."

Miley found success as an award-winning recording artist, winning her first Grammy in 2024. However, the family drama continues to affect her in various ways. 

"The divorce between her parents has put a strain on her relationship with her dad, and it's been hard to connect with him in the last year," a source previously told E! News. "She hopes they can eventually work on their relationship."

MILEY CYRUS' FAME FROM BILLY RAY'S DAUGHTER TO DISNEY, ‘PUSHING SEXUAL BOUNDARIES,’ TOPLESS PHOTO DRAMA

In her Hulu special, "Endless Summer Vacation: Continued (Backyard Sessions)," Miley made a rare comment about her dad and explained how fame affected them. 

"I think that’s where me and my dad’s relationship to fame and success is wildly different," she said. "Him feeling loved by a big audience impacted him emotionally more than it ever could me. When he feels special or important, it’s like healing a childhood wound, and I’ve always been made to feel like a star. It makes me emotional [to think about]."

Trace, a musician who lives in Nashville, has had his share of public struggles with addiction. Now over a year sober, Trace made a plea to his father after his inaugural performance sparked concern. 

"Since my earliest memories all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever," he wrote on Instagram after Billy Ray's performance. "I wanted to be just like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life. Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognize now. It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you."   

Trace continued, saying he and "the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away.

"We haven’t talked in a while but I’m over a year and half clean from alcohol. Guess what? I feel amazing," he added. "I don’t know what you’re struggling with exactly but I think I have a pretty good idea & I’d love to help you if you would open up and receive the help. You know how to reach me. Till that day comes I will continue to pray for you."

Noah, the youngest of the Cyrus family, has never been one to shy away from speaking her mind. 

In 2022, shortly after her parents' divorce, the singer-songwriter released a song titled "Noah (Stand Still)" with the help of her father. 

Billy Ray expressed his joy at his daughter's strength and resilience after releasing the song, and Noah responded by calling her dad "my hero and inspiration."

Noah's relationship with her mother, Tish, has not been as smooth.

Noah was seemingly caught in a love triangle after Tish married Dominic Purcell, who Noah reportedly had a casual relationship with before he began dating Tish.

Noah is now in a new relationship, engaged to fashion designer Pinkus.

Braison Cyrus has mostly stayed out of the public eye. However, recently he's been in his dad's corner. 

"I've spent this past year getting to know my dad better than I ever have," Braison, who is working on his dad's forthcoming album, said in a press release. "I’ve heard stories, jokes and songs that I don’t think anyone else has.

"It’s an opportunity to tell my dad’s story through music, and I’m fortunate to be able to take it. Music, stories and family are the most important things to my dad, so to bring the two together is a full-circle endeavor."

MILEY CYRUS SAYS BILLY RAY SEES FAME ‘WILDLY DIFFERENT’: ‘I’VE ALWAYS BEEN MADE TO FEEL LIKE A STAR'

However, Trace recently called out his little brother for seemingly enabling his dad.  

One fan recently inquired about the relationship on Trace's Instagram page, writing, "Braison is posting your dad is happy and healthy. I'm confused"

Trace responded by writing, "Birds of a feather flock together."

Brandi, the oldest of the bunch, has mostly remained by her mother's side throughout the years. 

During an appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast in 2024 with Tish, the two firmly disputed Billy Ray's past comments about how "Hannah Montana" ruined their family. 

"Absolutely not," Tish said when asked if she agreed with Billy Ray's assertion that the Cyrus family had been "destroyed" by the show.

"Not at all," Brandi agreed. "I mean the family’s not destroyed, first of all. We’re doing great."

"No, I just think he was having a moment," Tish said. 

Post Malone's gone country, and it's challenging "traditional country stereotypes," according to one music expert.

The star's genre shift landed him five of eight Grammys nominations. The artist is up for best recording package with his album "F-1 Trillion," and best country album. 

His song featuring Morgan Wallen, "I Had Some Help," was nominated for best country song and best country duo/group performance. Meanwhile, the rapper's country collaboration with Beyoncé, "Levii's Jeans," was nominated for best pop duo/group performance.

"F-1 Trillion" also features a handful of big-name country artists, including Wallen, Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson and Jelly Roll.

RAPPER-TURNED-COUNTRY ARTIST POST MALONE CREDITS DAUGHTER FOR SAVING HIS LIFE

The singer's decision to align himself with country stars already at the top of the charts "generally fast-tracks" a transition, according to branding expert Doug Eldridge.

"When compared to 'country western' of 40 years ago, modern country is more up-tempo and pop-infused but still built around a core group of relatable issues: love, loss, faith, family and America," Eldridge told Fox News Digital. "It's arguably never been a better time for Malone — or anyone else — to dip their toes in the warm waters of country music."

COUNTRY MUSIC WORLD STANDS BY MORGAN WALLEN DESPITE ROLLER-COASTER YEAR

Post Malone debuted his country album, "F-1 Trillion," Aug. 16, days after he performed for the first time at the Grand Ole Opry. The singer was introduced by country star Brad Paisley, who is featured on Post Malone's single, "Goes Without Saying."

However, Post Malone's country reinvention has been "in the making for years," according to industry expert Lyric Mandell, co-founder of artist development and media management firm Tutti Agency.

"Since 2015, Post Malone has hinted at his eventual dive into country and folk music, once tweeting that he would fully embrace the genre by the time he turned 30," Mandell explained to Fox News Digital. 

"Now, just under 30 and true to his word, he continues to lean into personal narratives that have always defined his music, like struggle and nostalgia, while leaning into country music’s emotional core and killer collaborators. The transition doesn’t feel forced because it isn’t; it’s a logical next step rather than a trend-chasing pivot that has been in the making for nearly a decade.=

"From a media theory perspective, Post Malone’s shift mirrors the shifting landscape of country music, where artists like Jelly Roll and now Post Malone are challenging traditional country stereotypes," she added. "The genre is embracing a rawer, more diverse group of artists who blur the lines between country, rock and hip-hop. This shift creates the perfect conditions for Post Malone’s crossover to feel both innovative and organic."

Post Malone hasn't completely changed his tune. He worked alongside pop star Taylor Swift in 2024 to release "Fortnight," which has also been nominated for multiple Grammys. The duet is up for song of the year, record of the year and best music video.

"Genres suck," Post Malone previously told The New York Times. "It’s easier to catalog music that way. But at a certain point — and the cool thing is that it’s moving towards this — why can’t you mix all this together and make something that’s truly unique to you?"

The move "reflects a broader trend of genre-bending" in today's music industry, Mandell said.

"For him, this transition doesn’t feel like an abrupt evolution or total reinvention, but rather a natural shift. His music has always been rooted in the storytelling traditions that are fundamental to both genres."

Post Malone's country reinvention began in his personal life. The rapper moved from Los Angeles to Utah in 2019.

"I love living here in Cottonwood Heights," Malone previously said in a video shared by the city. "It’s the most amazing place ever, and I have had such a great time over these years, and I love you guys, too."

The singer has become a part of the community, performing at the NBA All-Star Game in Salt Lake City in 2023. Post Malone also helped design a Raising Cane's restaurant in Utah's Midvale.

Jennifer Lopez shimmered as she walked the red carpet at the premiere of her latest film, "Kiss of the Spider Woman," at the Sundance Film Festival, wearing a sheer black gown with a sparkly spider web design on it.

The singer and actress accessorized the Valdrin Sahiti gown with black velvet high heels, a black velvet clutch and a few rings on her fingers. Her makeup included a nude lip with dark eyes, including bold eyeliner and lashes, paired with an elaborate updo reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour.

She posted multiple photos from the evening on social media, sharing with her fans in one of the captions that "this project has been such a labor of love" and that she's excited for her fans to see it.

"You really looked so beautiful!" one fan wrote on a different post featuring the red carpet look. "I have never thought of spiders as being beautiful, and yet, here we are. Wow," another wrote, while a third told her "you never miss."

While co-hosting on "Today with Jenna & Friends," Ballerini gave some insight into her relationship with her boyfriend Chase Stokes.

"I often hear, ‘They make me a better person.’ I like ‘bigger,’" Ballerini said. "I feel like when you get into a relationship, when you’re really ready for it, you’re already better. You should be a really healthy, good, whole version of yourself going into it."

She posed for photos with many of her guests, which included fellow '90s child stars, friends and other Great American Family actors, including Candace Cameron Bure and Jesse Hutch.

Bure was all smiles as she posed in a sequined two-piece set composed of a long sleeve top and a matching high-waisted skirt. Hutch kept it casual in jeans, a black shirt and a black suit jacket over it.

Steuart Smith's Parkinsonism diagnosis forced the Eagles guitarist into retirement, Fox News Digital can confirm.

Since his diagnosis, the 72-year-old musician has experienced "performance issues."

"It is with profound regret that, due to performance issues associated with my recently diagnosed Parkinsonism, I find that I must bow out of my role with the Eagles while I can still do so gracefully," Smith told Fox News Digital in a statement. "It's been a great quarter of a century, and I had hoped to be able to finish out this year with the band, but I must now do what’s best for all concerned."

Parkinsonism is an "umbrella term" used to describe symptoms of "slowed movements, rigidity (stiffness) and tremors," according to the Cleveland Clinic. While Parkinson's disease accounts for 80% of all Parkinsonism cases, other conditions – multiple system atrophy or corticobasal degeneration – can also cause the symptoms.

THE EAGLES' FAREWELL TOUR: LOOK BACK AT ICONIC BAND'S ‘LONG GOODBYE’

Founding member Don Henley reacted to Smith's retirement in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.

"The Eagles will be forever grateful for the extraordinary talents that he brought to both our recordings and live performances," Henley said.

"Steuart will be greatly missed, but he will always be a part of our musical family. We know our many fans join us in wishing him well."

Smith's retirement comes as the band is halfway through its residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, according to Variety.

Guitarist Chris Holt replaced Smith beginning Jan. 17, the outlet reported. Smith performed with the group for the first part of the residency, Sept. 20 through Dec. 14.

Smith joined the Eagles in 2001 as he took over the majority of Don Felder's role in the rock band. Felder was fired from the band after years of tension between guitarist Glenn Frey and Henley, along with a 14-year hiatus.

The decision to fire Felder was made by Frey and Henley. The musician responded by suing the band for wrongful termination and the group eventually settled outside of court.

Before teaming up with the Eagles, Smith was known for his work with Rosanne Cash, Shawn Colvin, Rodney Crowell and Wynonna Judd.

The band currently consists of Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Vince Gill and Deacon Frey.

Bob Mackie sometimes wishes he could turn back time.

The costume designer, who first dressed Cher in 1967, has created some of the singer’s most iconic looks over the years. However, there is one outfit that still makes him blush decades later.

The 84-year-old admitted to Page Six that when Cher slipped into her skimpy sheer bodysuit for 1989's "If I Could Turn Back Time," he urged the star, "Please don’t tell anyone I had anything to do with this because I don’t really approve." Mackie stressed it was Cher who wanted to strip down and make a bold statement for the music video.

CHER WAS UNSURE OF FUTURE WITH GREGG ALLMAN, FILED FOR DIVORCE AFTER 9 DAYS OF MARRIAGE: BOOK

"This is not family viewing," he told the performer, 78.

Cher shot the video on board USS Missouri in front of cheering sailors. The outlet noted the video, which showed Cher’s tattooed bottom, sparked controversy.

"Playing the bass guitar is her 12-year-old son [Elijah Blue] – there with her whole being out and everything else!" Mackie recalled to the outlet.

Mackie first dressed Cher when she was a guest on "The Carol Burnett Show." At the time, he was immediately charmed by her.

"She was adorable," said Mackie. "She looked like Audrey Hepburn’s younger sister at that point. Her hair in little pigtails, a little yellow sundress."

When he dressed her up, Mackie said he saw potential.

"I thought I could do anything on her — she'll look amazing," he said. "She could be anything she wanted to be."

Still, Mackie said he was not on board with Cher wearing what he called "the seatbelt outfit," which was paired with a leather motorcycle jacket. He noted that Cher wanted to rock the look "badly."

"There were certain pieces that I was talked into doing," Mackie previously told Fox News Digital. "Even now, I’ll go, ‘Oh my God, why did I say OK to that?’ But when it comes to design, it’s all about your client. You try to please them but also try to protect them and enhance their look. 

"The one particular piece we always laugh about is Cher when she was on the big battleship for the song ‘Turn Back Time.’ She’s out with all these sailors in this sheer biker outfit with a big strip up the crotch."

Mackie said the look was "so vulgar" that he did not tell anyone he had anything to do with it.

"I remember shaking my head and going, ‘Oh, no,’" said Mackie. "Cher wanted to wear it, but oh, it was too much! And then she had her 12-year-old son playing bass in the band, which made it even worse than all those sailors around her."

According to Mackie, even Cher got "very cold feet" – at first.

"She actually put on her biker jacket because she felt so naked," he said. "But it became a popular video, to say the least. She has more confidence than anybody, but on that day, she kind of lost it on that one. She wasn’t used to being around that many sailors all screaming and hollering for her."

Mackie felt the leather jacket made the costume look "more vulgar from the waist down."

"It was just sheer with just one little crotch piece in black," he said. "But people are still talking about it, I guess. [And] Cher is completely comfortable in these kinds of outfits. That’s why they work. She doesn’t pose or do any of that. She just wears them like they’re normal clothes, which still makes me laugh."

Mackie told Variety that the costume was sold at auction for $75,000. That did not stop Cher from wanting to rock it once more. For a tour, she went on to rent it for a year.

Morgan Wallen is heading back on tour after wrapping up the legal drama that unfolded from his Nashville, Tennessee, chair-throwing incident.

Wallen named his fourth studio album, "I'm the Problem," and the title track is set to be released Jan. 31. The 31-year-old singer-songwriter will jump back into touring with a 19-show stadium tour to support the new album.

"We made so many lifelong memories on the ‘One Night at a Time World Tour,’ and I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for my fans and the way they showed up each night," Wallen said in a statement. "As I've been working on new music, it has inspired me to get back on the road and share these new songs with each of you on the 'I'm the Problem Tour.' See y'all there."

Wallen will have a rotating lineup of guests for the tour, including Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and Koe Wetzel.

COUNTRY MUSIC WORLD STANDS BY MORGAN WALLEN DESPITE ROLLER-COASTER YEAR

In the 10 years since he released his debut EP and became a professional singer-songwriter, Wallen has broken records left and right and earned acclaim among his peers in the country music community.

Wallen, 31, hit his stride in 2024 and topped the Country Music Association Awards nominations with seven nods, including entertainer of the year, single of the year and male vocalist of the year.

Despite success on the stage, Wallen personally faced an uphill battle after he was arrested in April for throwing a chair off a rooftop bar in Nashville.

Wallen, who was charged with two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment, pleaded guilty, according to Fox 17. Judge Cynthia Chappell sentenced the country music star to seven days at a DUI education center, along with two years of supervised probation.

"Earlier today (12/12/24), Morgan Wallen appeared in Davidson County Circuit Court with Judge Cynthia Chappell presiding where he entered a conditional plea pursuant to Tennessee’s Diversion Statute that does not result in a conviction," Wallen's attorney, Worrick Robinson, said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital at the time. "The plea agreement with the Office of the District Attorney requires Mr. Wallen to spend 7 days at a DUI Education Center, be on probation for 2 years — one year for each of the misdemeanor charges for reckless endangerment — pay a $350 fine and court fees. Upon the successful completion of his probation, the charges will be eligible for dismissal and expungement.

"Mr. Wallen has cooperated fully with authorities throughout these last eight months, directly communicating and apologizing to all involved. Mr. Wallen remains committed to making a positive impact through his music and foundation."

Wallen tossed a chair off the sixth floor of the Eric Church-backed bar Chief's in Nashville on April 7.

The "Whiskey Glasses" singer was "cooperating fully" with the investigation, a rep for the musician told Fox News Digital at the time. He was originally charged with disorderly conduct — a misdemeanor — and three counts of felony reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon.

The legal drama occurred while Wallen was performing on his "One Night at a Time" tour.

Jewel is defending herself after fans voiced their disappointment over her decision to perform at the MAHA Inaugural Ball for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Following her surprise performance of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" for Kennedy and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, at the ball, many fans took to the comments section of her recent Instagram posts to share that they were upset with her decision to perform at the ball.

"Incredibly disappointed. Jewel is MAGA. Unfollow," one fan wrote in the comments section of a post shared by the singer-songwriter on Monday. "You are a huge disappointment. I was a fan for decades but now will never listen to your music again or pay any money to see you perform live," another follower added.

In a video posted to her Instagram on Friday, the 50-year-old shared her reasons for choosing to perform at the ball.

JEWEL'S ADVICE ON OVERCOMING HEARTBREAK, HARDSHIPS: 'IT'S WHAT WE DO WITH THE PIECES’

"As many of you know, I am a mental health advocate. If there’s anything that I’ve learned in the past 20 years, it’s that mental health affects everybody’s lives across party lines," Jewel said at the start of the video. "I reached out to the last administration, spoke with the surgeon general about the mental health crisis that’s facing our nation. I don’t know if you guys know the stats, but it is bleak."

The performer went on to say that she believes there are many things we as a society can do to help, adding, "I believe I can help, and if I believe I can help, I have to try."

Jewel has been very vocal about her passion for increasing awareness surrounding the mental health crisis among children and adults in the country and working towards making mental health resources available to everyone who needs them.

Her passion led her to become the co-founder of the Inspiring Children Foundation, a non-profit which helps children at-risk in Las Vegas. Jewel also co-founded Innerworld, a virtual reality-based free wellness center which offers mental health tools.

"If I wait to try until I agree 100% with the people that might be willing to help me, I’d never get off the bench. I don’t think that’s how activism works, waiting until everything’s perfect enough to participate," she continued in her video to her fans. "It’s actually because things are so imperfect that we have to find ways to engage and to participate. And we have to act now. We cannot wait another four years."

Jewel echoed this sentiment in the caption of her post, where she explained that "we need people from all walks of life" to work together when it comes to advocating for a greater emphasis on "mental health and other critical issues, so we can find a way forward together."

While Jewel admits she does "not agree on all the politics," she thinks there are those in the new Trump administration who "are willing to help on this issue." 

"If I can help shape policy, make sure mental health is in the conversation… If I can help put resources or mental health tools into the hands of the most vulnerable who need it, I’m going to try and I’m going to fight," she said. "And I understand that my words were overly simplistic. Half of our country feels hope right now, and I honor that. And half of our country feels disenfranchised and scared and vulnerable, and that is unacceptable."

Later in the video, the Grammy-nominated artist apologized to her fans for any pain she may have caused them by performing at the ball, addressing her LGBTQIA fans specifically, telling them that "you've made my life a better place."

Jewel further noted that she will "never stop fighting" and thinks that "having hard conversations" is the only way to create change. She said she hopes that someday "we can push through our hurt and move toward understanding on both sides."

"I want to be a ray of light in this world. I try hard to be a ray of light in your lives," Jewel said. "I know that in times of darkness we must grow light, and so I will wake up again tomorrow and try again. And I will count on each of you to do the same."
