At the 2024 Grammys, Jelly Roll shared a heartfelt connection with Taylor Swift, rooted in a playground she donated to his hometown of Hendersonville, Tennessee. “I used to push my daughter Bailee on that swing set Taylor donated,” he told People. But when he finally met Swift at the event, Jelly was too nervous to fully explain, stammering, “You built the swing set somewhere… my daughter, I pushed her on it.”
Despite his jitters, Swift warmly embraced the moment, leaving Jelly awestruck. His wife, Bunnie XO, captured the interaction, joking, “When your hubby meets his crush finally.”
That night, Swift won Album of the Year for Midnights, while Jelly celebrated his Best New Artist nomination. Both are back in the spotlight for the 2025 Grammys, with Swift up for Song, Record, and Album of the Year, and Jelly contending for Best Country Song and Solo Performance.
Since the Grammys, Jelly Roll’s star has risen with his No. 1 album Beautifully Broken and a 2025 stadium tour with Post Malone.
