The Permanent Mistake Jenna Bush Hager Almost Made After A Nasty Breakup

Hoda Kotb was shocked at the news of Jenna Bush Hager’s potential tattoo, and the “Today” studio audience laughed. Hager explained the reason for the tattoo was because of the Destiny’s Child song of the same name. Notable lyrics in the song include, “I’m a survivor / I’m gonna make it / I will survive / Keep on survivin’,” which is definitely a great mantra to have post-breakup, even if you don’t get it permanently placed on your skin.

Hager was relieved that the tattoo parlor she and her friend Tracy went to that night was closed, or else she would’ve gone home with fresh ink. Some eagle-eyed “Today” show fans thought Hager might have a secret back tattoo in April 2022. In a clip posted to Instagram when she and Kotb danced to the stage, there’s a point in the video when Hager is facing away from the camera. The tattoo in question some commenters asked about was nothing more than the wires on her microphone pack.
