Jessica Simpson performed Thursday at the Indiana State Fair, appearing as a headlining act for the first time in three years.
It was a low-pressure setting at the Hoosier Lottery Grandstand, where an estimated audience of 4,000 gathered. In 2004, Simpson attracted a crowd of 6,000 for a vapid pop show at Verizon Wireless Music Center.
Despite the skepticism over her move into country, Simpson said the genre is where her heart is and that she’s in it for the long haul.
“I grew up listening to country, so the transition has felt comfortable for me,” the Dallas-bred singer/actress told The Indianapolis Star in a recent interview. “The country community has made me feel so welcome.”
Simpson’s latest pop album, 2006’s “A Public Affair,” reached No. 5 on The Billboard 200 and scored a hit with the title track.
The 28-year-old performer has gone from gospel singer, to pop singer, to actress since launching her career in the late ’90s. She’s also keeping busy on the fashion/beauty front with a new perfume, “Fancy,” due this month and a line of “Jessica Simpson” brand dresses set to debut next spring.
