Simpson also recently expressed her willingness to return to the dating scene during a chat withJenna Bush Hager. The 45-year-old mom of three responded to Hager's question about dating by saying, "Yes, I'm single—very into it. I'm ready!"

In that interview, Simpson acknowledged that "everyone" has opinions and shared that she just doesn't care.

With all the recent attention comes opinions, and there are plenty. However, it seems the "Irresistible" singer has found herself again after a massive case of nerves during her performance earlier this year onAmerican Idol,her first TV performance in 15 years, which had her questioning whether she's still got it.

On Sunday, July 27, the singer and actress shared a carousel of photos on Instagram that were taken on the same day as her Today performance. The only thing bolder than her bright floral maxi dress is the caption she shared.

She captioned the photo, "The only validation we need is the kind we give ourselves."

Simpson's fans came through with plenty of support with one writing, "Perfection as always. Love you sooo much."
