Jax has had a wild year with the success of her breakthrough "Victoria's Secret" and her iHeartRadio Music Award for TikTok Songwriter of the Year.
But Z100 JingleBall has a way of creating full-circle moments, and for a New Jersey girl like Jax, the chance to play Z100 JingleBall and the JingleBall All Access Lounge presented by Splash in the same day is almost too much to comprehend.
"Everyone I ever knew is here today," she tells Maxwell & Crystal. "...I think [playing JingleBall] was probably my number one goal in life, like I swear to you this is so epic for me. I could just like move away into the woods now."
Jax isn't here to take all the credit, though. She says her family's support has been crucial at every step of the way.
"My actual family, I think they look like they're about to faint right now, they are so overwhelmed," she adds. "They've been such a huge part of my work and journey. Just like, my dad's been lugging amps around since I was [little] just to like get people to hear me sing. We've always gone to the [Madison Square] Garden. ...He used to literally say, 'If you play JingleBall, if you play the Garden, you did it; there you go.' It's really happening."
The only thing left (at least for today) is to get through her performance on the big stage with one thing in mind: "Don't fall."
