lRising country music star Jelly Roll revealed that he busted his award after a huge win at last year’s CMAs. He’s up for three awards this year, but what happened after his big win last year? Keep reading for all the details.
Jelly Roll Makes SNL Debut
Late night sketch show Saturday Night Live returned last weekend with a star-studded episode. Actress Jean Smart was the show’s host. Fan favorites Maya Rudolph, Dana Carvey, and Andy Samberg made surprise appearances as Vice President Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden, and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, respectively.
Jelly Roll was the musical guest to kick off Season 50 of SNL. He performed his hit songs, ““Liar” and “Winning Streak,” from his forthcoming album. Beautifully Broken comes out on October 11.
How He Busted His New Award After Huge CMA Win
Jelly Roll’s rapid rise to stardom was unexpected. After years as a rapper, he transitioned to country music in 2022. He’s already had several number one hits and won numerous awards in the last two years.
He was named New Artist of the Year at the 2023 CMA Awards. Days after appearing on SNL, Jelly Roll was a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The talk show host brought up a huge mishap at the awards show. He played a clip from a local Nashville station that captured the moment Jelly Roll dropped his award and broke it backstage.
Jelly Roll joked, “First of all, when it first dropped, you could’ve heard a mouse pee on cotton. I mean, it was dead silent, and right after you could’ve heard a cricket fart, you heard a bunch of people go ‘Aww.’”
How did the huge blunder happen? Jelly Roll might sell out stadiums, but he chalked the incident up to nerves. “I was just so excited and so nervous that I had the sweatiest, shakiest palms,” he said. “And that thing is — I’m already not a physically fit man — and that thing’s heavy. That thing was really heavy.”
He added, “This is the story of my life though, Jimmy. I finally get my life together. I win the biggest award — best new artist — I was one of the oldest people to ever win it…Then I came backstage and fumbled the ball. Just fumbled the ball!”
Jelly Roll wanted to keep the broken award because it fit his ‘beautifully broken’ aesthetic. But it was actually a prop award and not the real one with his name engraved on it. It’s unclear if he still has the broken award.
Watch the 2024 CMA Awards on Wednesday, November 11, to see if he wins more awards.
