‘Must be all the sin in the air’

“And I look like three miles of bad road. Why? My face always goes on strike in Las Vegas. I don’t know. I walk through the casinos and my eyes burn. It must be all the sin in the air," Jewel joked.

The ‘You Were Meant For Me’ songstress also revealed that she had forgotten to bring her facial cleanser with her.

She shared, “I’m 49 years old. How do I not pack cleanser?” before mentioning, “Ya’ll, I’m staying at this hotel and there are so many cowboys. I love seeing it."

“It’s like the ghost of Christmas past […] I spent decades of my life at the NFR. It’s a trip to be here. It brings back so many memories,” she added.
