Joe Jonas Reveals He Was Most Nervous Meeting This Beloved Rock Icon

Joe Jonas took over iHeartRadio HQ in New York City where he performed an intimate and acoustic set and opened up during a special Q&A, and he spilled the beans about the most nervous he's ever been performing — and it involves President Barack Obama's daughters and Rock and Roll Royalty, Sir Paul McCartney.

During his set, Jonas performed DNCE's "Cake By The Ocean" and two of his solo songs, "What This Could Be" and "Heart By Heart." Then, he shared his experience when Jonas Brothers were asked to perform at The White House during his interview with iHeartRadio's Emily Curl.

Jonas recalled, "We got a call from the White House, and they said, 'Hey, President Obama would like you to fly in and perform for his kids.' And we were like, 'Yeah!' So we flew in, I think overnight, and they do a scavenger hunt." He added, "The last room, we were sitting there waiting for them to performing. So, we were pretty nervous for that one."

Joe went on to recall, around the same time, they met Paul McCartney as he was honored at The White House with the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. Jonas explained, "I think during the same administration we performed honoring Paul McCarty. So we did [the scavenger hunt] first. And then a couple months later, like, 'Oh, now honoring Paul McCartney.' We come back and perform one of the Beatles songs, and Paul McCartney's one of the people I was very nervous to meet — he's very cool. And one of my favorite memories; We met Paul McCartney the night before. So this happened before performing for the kids and we met. So we're in a line, a meet-and-greet line, and there's all these incredible musicians are there to perform, Jack White amongst a few others. And so we're walking down this line, we're shaking hands, and I'm like, I see Paul. And then I look at President Obama. I'm like, 'Whoa.' And Paul goes, 'Pretty cool.' But that was probably the most nervous of my career performing that night."

Elsewhere in the interview, Jonas opened up about his new album, Music for People Who Believe in Love. Joe explained that he wrote his new album with a really trusted group of close friends, and that the first track came from a session that he wrote with his brothers Nick & Kevin for a Jonas Brothers session. He loved one of the songs so much he begged them to let him have it — and Nick finally agreed!

Joe also shared that with it being the Jonas Brothers' 20th anniversary, he feels so grateful they still get to do what they do and share their stories on stage with fans that have been there from the beginning.
