Nashville, TN – Country music sensation Jelly Roll recently opened up about a profoundly impactful moment at the CMT Awards, highlighting a heartfelt interaction with fellow artist Cody Johnson. During a recent interview, Jelly Roll recounted the experience of winning his first award and the subsequent embrace he shared with Johnson. “When I won the first award, I came down the steps and the first person I seen was Cody Johnson,” Jelly Roll shared, reflecting on the genuine nature of the encounter. “And he gave me a hug like we grew up together.” Johnson's words of encouragement left a lasting impression on Jelly Roll. “He said, ‘Man, I’m so proud of you, dude. Like, this is so good.’ The first person I seen in that moment could have looked at me like, ‘Why is this dude here?’ But instead, it was this just genuine Texas cowboy that was just lit up like a Christmas tree for me.” Jelly Roll emphasized the unexpected depth of the moment. “I never would have guessed how just impactful that moment was. And that picture. I think about that picture all the time because somebody caught us in that moment, we turned around and took a picture real quick.
