Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

Jelly Roll had some serious fun in Las Vegas over the weekend, attending Super Bowl XVIII and watching the game with some friends. He shared his activities with fans, posting to his Insta Stories.  He posted many slides from the weekend, including one crowd shot of him on the field after the game surrounded by friends.

The country music sensation had a full schedule performing at the Wynn’s Big Game weekend on Sunday (2/11) along with Marshmello and friends.

After his work was done, Jelly Roll took to the tables. He posted a photo of himself playing blackjack to his Insta Stories. He wrote over the image of him and some friends at the table, “About last night. Blackjack with the fellas.”

In another slide, Insta Stories, Dr. Phil posted a photo with Jelly Roll at the UFC “Fight Night” in Las Vegas. The doctor wrote, “Great meeting you @jellyroll615.”

Then, of course, there was the Uber Eats commercial featuring Jelly Roll and other celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer. In the commercial, Jelly looks into a mirror and asks himself, astonished, “What happened to my face? Are these tattoos? They are everywhere.”

Jelly walked the GRAMMY Red Carpet last week (2/4) and spoke with Entertainment Tonight, who asked about his mother, Donna. Jelly said, “She’s watching. She wanted to come, but I was worried about her having a wheelchair and coming out on the carpet and stuff.”

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

Jelly then Facetimed his mom, live on the Red Carpet, telling her that everybody was “asking about ya.”

In the same interview, Jelly talked about bringing his daughter Bailee and wife to the Red Carpet and how it makes “a dream even better.”

As for the nominations, Jelly noted that being recognized by the academy and being here to represent Nashville and country music is what he came to the GRAMMYs to do. He added that he didn’t come to win; he came “to represent.”

Jelly Roll: 5 Songs You Need To Know From 'Whitsitt Chapel'

  • "The Lost"

    An album cut that Jelly co-wrote with Miranda Lambert. In January, Lambert posted to Instagram that she made a new songwriting friend, Jelly Roll. By the looks of it, the two had a great time writing songs. Miranda posted a couple of photos to her Instagram, one with her, Jelly Roll, and a songwriter named Telenitry. She wrote, “Made a new friend this week! Jesse was right when he said we go together like biscuits and gravy! Loved writing a tune with @jellyroll615 and @telemitry.” See that post here.

  • "Halfway to Hell"

    While this song has not been released as a single to country radio, it’s well-known by fans and got a massive response when Jelly performed it at his “Backroads Baptism Tour.” The song kicks off the album, starting with a clip of a church preacher preaching, “Just save you because he gave his only begotten son.” As the music starts, the preacher continues to preach; Jelly begins the song with the lyrics, “I’m a county jail revival / I’m a bottle and a Bible / I’m a rolling stone disciple / With a cross across my face.”

  • "Save Me" (with Lainey Wilson)

    Little did Jelly know when he recorded this song with his friend Lainey Wilson that the collaboration would be nominated for a GRAMMY in the Best Country Duo/Group Performance. The song was also recently nominated for Musical Event at the 2023 CMA Awards. In early December 2023, the song hit the top of the country music charts. They also performed the song at the ACM Awards in May of 2023.

  • "Need a Favor"

    The first number-one country song from this project, but his second number one country song overall. The first number one was “Son Of A Sinner,” which was his first country single release before he released Whitsett Chapel. The powerful and relatable lyrics include, “I only talk to God when I need a favor / And I only pray when I ain’t got a prayer / So who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior, oh / If I only talk to God when I need a favor? / But, God, I need a favor,”
