The 27-year-old appeared in good spirits, holding an oversized multi-colored patchwork clutch from her line of handbags.
Encouraged by the response to her first country music single, Come On Over, and confident where her own heart lies, Jessica recently told the The Tennessean that she planned to stick with country music.
"I'm planning on making country [music] for the rest of my life, and I don't want to go back to that other world," she said.
Recalling how she botched up her "Nine to Five" tribute to Dolly Parton in front of a black tie audience that included Parton and President Bush in 2006, following the breakup of her marriage with Nick Lachey, Jessica told the newspaper:
"I was going through a heartbreak, and I was scattered and shouldn't have been on that stage.
"There's no way to convince anybody that you're comfortable onstage if you're not." But after stepping into the studio to record a country song, she declared: "I'm back!"
