Jelly Roll was all smiles as he arrived at the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards with his wife, Bunnie XO, and daughter, Bailee Ann, in tow.
Styled by Krista Roser, Jelly Roll and his family strutted their stuff down the red carpet in dazzling ensembles. For his look, the GRAMMY nominee donned a Sherpa-lined Louis Vuitton outfit paired with a white t-shirt and sneakers. Bunnie XO opted for a dazzling diamond-covered nude gown, made custom by Karla Gil. She completed the look with a stunning necklace by Jason of Beverly Hills. Meanwhile, 15-year-old Bailee Ann sparkled in a black leather ensemble with rhinestone fringe.
His Mom Was Going To Accompany Him
Jelly Roll was originally set to bring his mom to the show, however, she is now watching the show from home.
“She wanted to come, but we just couldn’t. I was worried her having a wheelchair, getting her in and out of the carpet and stuff, but she’s watching from home,” Jelly Roll explained to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet. “I mean, she’s FaceTimed me 10 times now already.”
A Two-Time Nominee
Jelly Roll attended the GRAMMYs as a two-time nominee this evening, with nods for the all-genre Best New Artist category as well as a nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for his collaboration with Lainey Wilson on the song “Save Me.”
Upon learning of his GRAMMY nominations, Jelly Roll was unable to contain his emotions and promptly took to social media to share his priceless reaction. The “NEED A FAVOR” singer, still overwhelmed, admitted that he hesitated to post his response initially, but his wife Bunnie XO encouraged him to do so, as revealed in his Instagram post.
“I’m embarrassed to post this, but my wife says honesty and rawness got me this far… I’ll post a more complete thought about this when I get my head together. I just never would’ve imagined,” he captioned the video.
Emotional Reaction
In the emotional footage, the acclaimed artist shed tears while conveying the news of his nominations to his fans. “The greatest honor that an artist can ever hear is that they’ve been nominated for a Grammy,” he said, later adding, “I got to hear that this morning.”
Jelly Roll went on to share that he had to record the video message multiple times due to being overwhelmed with emotions that left him nearly speechless.
“I haven’t cried like this since my daddy died. I love y’all, man… so f–kin’ much,” shared Jelly Roll.
