Nick Jonas Walks Out of Golden Globes 2026: Reason Why

Nick Jonas was burnin’ up with anxiety at the 2026 Golden Globes. 

After he was spotted stepping outside for some fresh air during the Nikki Glaser-hosted award show in Los Angeles Jan. 11, the “Jealous” singer provided insight into why he needed a break from the annual festivities. 

In a video shared to X Jan. 11, Nick—wearing a classic black tux with a matching bowtie and Fossil watch—stood alone outside of a tent at the Beverly Hilton hotel surrounded by palm trees and green foliage. And while he enjoyed his breather, he sipped from a glass bottle of water and rubbed his chin, seemingly deep in thought. 

Following the clip’s circulation, one user shared their guess on why he had to exit the ceremony, commenting, “Social anxiety got the best of him.”

And shortly after, Nick confessed that the theory held some truth—all while working in a cheeky nod to his new solo single “Gut Punch,” which was released Jan. 1. 

“Yeah,” Nick replied in a Jan. 12 message on X. “It hit me like a gut punch.”
