Kelly Rowland Breaks Down During "Dirty Laundry" Performance

 

Kelly Rowland was really feeling the music during her performance at the Fillmore Silver Spring in Washington D.C. on Sunday, May 26. The former Destiny's Child band member was giving the audience a taste of her new hit "Dirty Laundry" when she became overwhelmed by her emotions and had to stop singing.

About four minutes into the song, however, the singer gets choked up just as she sings the line "Turnin' me against my sister," in reference to pal Beyonce  and sits hunched over onstage with her head in her hands as she struggles to compose herself.

The audience quickly comes to her assistance, chanting her name until she's able to wipe away her tears and continue on with the song.
"Doing this song for me was so therapeutic," she said during the show prior to the song. "Honesty, like my mama always says, is always the best policy."

The powerful ballad, which Rowland released on her SoundCloud page earlier this month, addresses her past relationships with abusive boyfriends, as well as her jealousy of Beyonce's success.

Am sure you remember when Kelly said she used to be jealous of  Lady B "When my sister was on stage/ Killing it like a motherf--ker/ I was in rage/ Feeling it like a motherf--ker," she sings on the track.
