What started as another night in the crowd quickly became a moment this longtime Jelly Roll fan will never forget.
Lauryn has attended around seven of the country music superstar’s live shows over the past few years, but she has been listening to his music since 2017. Over the weekend she once again found her way to the very front row of his concert at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford, NH and this time, Jelly Roll took notice.
He paused the entire set as soon as he spotted her familiar face in the audience and acknowledged her dedication.
“This lady right here, make sure she never buys a ticket to a show again. This is like the 6th show I’ve seen her at,” Jelly Roll said as he pointed her out.

While his comments may have initially sounded like a warning, Jelly Roll was actually rewarding the fan for her loyalty. After recognizing her from multiple stops on the tour, he promised she’d be able to attend any shows she wanted to in the future at no cost.
“You will never buy another ticket to my concert, ever,” he restated. “We will take care of that tonight. This is like the fifth time I’ve seen you on this tour. Thank you this is so awesome,” he told her.
The Tennessee native jokingly added that he would have to change up his set list just so that she doesn’t continue to hear the exact same show every time.
@laurynrou I am OVER THE MOON thank you so so so much @Jelly Roll I know my best friend who passed on 12/24/21 is always with me. I spoke to her and said “if you’re with me tonight please get him to sign my book” I full on believe this is a sign from her. I cried. I thought I was going to puke and pass out. Best night of my life. #concert #jellyroll #fyp #repost #love ♬ original sound – Lauryn Roussel
Following the heartfelt interaction, Lauryn tells Country Now that a security guard took down her contact information and later texted her details on how to contact the team before future shows and be added to the guest list.
“I honestly thought I was going to pass out. He is one of my favorite artists and I’ve been to a ton of shows of other artist and not a single one has done something like this,” she explained.
As if the moment wasn’t memorable enough, Jelly Roll also signed a poster she had brought with her to the concert, something she’d been hoping would happen after years of attending his shows. This experience carried an even deeper meaning for Lauryn as she believes it was a sign from her late friend who would have been attending all these concerts right by her side if she was still around today.
“People will call me crazy and it’s not for everyone, but I saw a medium a few months back, I did not tell her a single thing prior and she had said something about someone is always with me and it’s the person I used to do a whole bunch of things with (my best friend) she even brought up Jelly Roll in the reading,” she recalled.

Lauryn goes on to explain that while getting ready for the memorable Jelly Roll concert she decided to speak to her best friend who has passed on and asked for her help in achieving her goal for the night.
“I said to my best friend, ‘if you are going to be with me tonight help me get a signature’ that’s all I’ve been looking for for all these shows was his signature. He turned around and gave me these lifetime passes and still signed my poster.”
She added, “I feel as though J brings me closer to my best friend and she is forever missed and if she was here she would be at all these concerts with me.”
Jelly Roll’s Little Ass Shed Tour continues tonight (June 23) with a show in Syracuse, NY. In between his own tour and festival dates, the genre-bending star also has a few more shows with Post Malone as part of The Big Ass Stadium Tour Part 2.
