Jamie Lynn Spears, or JLS as Bobby Bones calls her, said she was "so proud" of her sister Britney's MTV VMAs return.

"She was confident and happy and to me that is success so I was really happy to see her up there and she looked phenomenal."

And then she said something that made us all say, "same."

"(It was) extremely nerve wracking. I was very nervous and she was nervous. It was a big deal for her," Jamie Lynn said. "She gets more nervous than I think people could ever imagine and then they put her on after Beyoncé and I was like ‘Why would they do that?’"

In between feeling all nervous for her sister (and let's be honest, we were too!), JLS has her own things to stress about like new music and her daughter Maddie going back to school. Yup, valid.

She says her song "Sleepover" was an attempt to embrace her fun side and oh hey, send an awesome message to little girls everywhere: "I want young girls to know you can be fun, flirty, confident, but you still can be in control."

OK, GIRL. YES.
