Jelly Roll Is Slated For Saturday Night Live Premiere
As Jelly Roll continues to conquer the world, the very busy country singer now has a gig on Saturday Night Live. It’s not just any episode either: it’s the season premiere of the show’s 50th season.
Jelly is currently touring the country on his “Beautifully Broken Tour” and did have to postpone one show to make the SNL gig and a couple of fans on Instagram were not happy with that.
Jelly was as excited as we would expect him to be and took to Instagram to post a note of his performance (actress Jean Smart is hosting) and share his thoughts. He wrote, “The premiere of the 50th season of SNL. BRB going to cry for a few hours and call every family member I have. Bringing therapeutic music to my favorite show ever. God is Good.”
Many fans commented on the post, including one who said, “How amazing you get to be there for such an amazing milestone show! What an honor! Crying for you myself The Universe works in mysterious ways, man & I’m so glad you believed in yourself enough to play it out & see it through.” Another fan wrote, “Well deserved.”

September 28 will be a big and busy day for the guy: earlier that day, he’ll be performing at New York’s Central Park as part of the Global Citizen Festival, which will also feature another rapper-turned-country singer with face tattoos, Post Malone.
Jelly Roll has been having the time of his life lately; after years of working on his music, he’s now a big celebrity. The sweet singer is always thankful for what he gets and just recently on Instagram, he posted his appreciation for being a CMA nominee for 2024 and a CMA winner last year.
He posted a clip of his speech at the show last year when he won for New Artist. He wrote, “This was one of those things that I felt the momentum shift and my trajectory change. Last year winning the New Artist award at the CMA AWARDS was one of the most special moments of my life. I couldn’t sleep for days I was so wired up and excited.”
Jelly added, “Now to come back this year nominated for Album of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year and (I can’t believe I’m about to type this) ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR is mind-blowing. I just want to thank the CMA’s for their consideration I don’t take these nominations lightly just like I have carried my New Artist of the Year as a badge of honor the last year. November 20th LIVE on ABC. See yall there.”
