The two played Ballerini's song, "Peter Pan," and it appeared that Ballerini and Jonas were enjoying each other's company on the stage. Prior to the performance, Ballerini confessed that Jonas was her teen crush, telling The Tennessean, “I thought I was going to marry him when I was 13 years old, so it’s very casual that I’m on stage with him.”
But Twitter saw something very different. Viewers are saying that Jonas not only fumbled a lyric of the song, but he also messed up the chords during his guitar solo.
Yikes.
That sound you heard was Vince Gill and Keith Urban wincing when Nick Jonas blew that guitar solo. #ACMs

He didn't sing the right words. It's "place," not "thing." Awkward...trying to cover it up with riffs...NAH NICK. #ACMs
