He added, “She’s Facetimed me ten times today already. She’s fired up.”

Jelly posted a message to fans on his Insta Stories after the GRAMMYs. He wrote, “Just so we are clear – Victoria Monet deserved that award. She is incredible. She has been writing hits for everyone else for a long time, and she deserves every bit of that award.”
He added, “We come back next year stronger with more nominations – I’m inspired.”
In the next slide, he posted a photo of himself with Monet, congratulating her. The following slide showed a black-and-white photo of him hugging Taylor Swift.
Jelly Roll also posted a video clip to Instagram after the show. He told his almost 3 million followers, “Yo, I just got rained on; I just left the GRAMMYS; it was the coolest thing ever. I met Jay-Z, I met Stevie Wonder, I met so many people… I met Taylor Swift, what?” He then pointed out that it was the first time he had ever worn a designer outfit. His GRAMMY attire, a tan coat and pants, were by Louis Vuitton. Jelly closed with, “This is superfly. I felt handsome all night.”
