Jelly Roll made a huge splash at the 2023 People’s Choice Country Awards , earning recognition as a breakout star.
However, fans were left wondering why he was absent from the 2024 awards, especially since he was nominated for several categories.
Let’s see why this beloved artist was missing from the spotlight. Here’s what happened:
The 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards took place on September 26, and it was a night filled with excitement.
Jelly Roll, who was nominated for an impressive seven categories, was mentioned during the ceremony by none other than MGK (Machine Gun Kelly).
MGK took home the award for Crossover Song of 2024 and gave a shout-out to Jelly Roll in his acceptance speech, which only highlighted his absence even more.
Fans might have expected to see him strutting down the red carpet or performing live, but instead, they were left wondering: where’s Jelly Roll?
Well, the answer is pretty straightforward—he was hard at work!
Jelly Roll is currently on his Beautifully Broken Tour , which kicked off last month to great fanfare.
On the night of the awards, he was performing at the TD Garden in Boston, bringing his energetic show to life for a packed audience.
Touring can be a grueling job, and Jelly Roll’s commitment to his fans is evident in his dedication to his performances.
After Boston, he’s set to hit stages in New York and New Jersey, so we can see that his busy schedule played a big role in his absence from the awards .
While some might see award shows as the pinnacle of success, Jelly Roll seems to prioritize connecting with his fans through live music, and that’s a big part of what makes him so relatable.
While fans missed him at the PCCAs, there’s good news on the horizon!
Jelly Roll is not only nominated for several categories at the upcoming 2024 CMA Awards , but he’s also branching out into acting.
He recently landed his first acting role, playing himself in an episode of the hit series Tulsa King .
How cool is that? It’s a new chapter for him, and fans are excited to see how he brings his larger-than-life persona to the screen.
In season 2 of Tulsa King , Jelly Roll makes a memorable appearance that brings an authentic country touch to the series.
The country rapper, known for his breakthrough hit “ Son of a Sinner ” and multiple award wins, appears as himself in the second episode.
During a humorous scene at Bodhi’s dispensary, Even Higher Plane, Jelly Roll interacts with Dwight Manfredi (played by Sylvester Stallone) who amusingly mistakes him for a janitor, calling him “Jellyfish.”
The playful moment culminates in Jelly Roll performing his emotional track “ I Am Not Okay ” inside a recording booth newly installed at the dispensary.
Jelly Roll’s music is a perfect fit for Tulsa King ’s Western vibe, with another of his songs, “Get By,” being used in the season’s promotional trailer.
His lyrics, which explore themes of hardship and strength, align with Dwight’s personal struggles, making his cameo and music an impactful addition to the show.
Moreover, Jelly Roll is gearing up for the release of his 10th studio album, Beautifully Broken , set to drop on October 11.
The album will feature hit singles such as “ I Am Not Okay” and “ Liar ,” along with the newly released track “ Get By ,” which has also been selected as the anthem for the 2024 College Football Season by ESPN.
In line with his ongoing philanthropic efforts, Jelly Roll has pledged to donate the net proceeds from pre-orders of the album on his website to organizations that support mental health and addiction recovery.
Reflecting on the purpose behind his music, he shared in an interview that he now focuses on creating songs with meaning, like the track “Winning Streak.”
He emphasizes that financial gain is no longer his motivation.
Even though Jelly Roll wasn’t there to steal the show, the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards was still a star-studded event.
Hosted by the ever-charismatic Shania Twain , the night was filled with amazing performances from artists like Kane Brown, Miranda Lambert, War and Treaty, and Kelsea Ballerini .
Each performance brought its own flavor, keeping viewers engaged and entertained throughout the evening.
The awards showcased a mix of both established artists and rising stars , celebrating the diverse and rich landscape of country music today.
From heartfelt ballads to upbeat anthems, it was a night to remember for country fans everywhere.
As we look forward to more appearances from Jelly Roll, whether it’s at the CMA Awards or in future tours, fans can rest assured that he’s on an exciting path.
His ability to connect with audiences through his music and now in acting makes him a unique and beloved figure in the industry.
So, while he may have missed the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards, we know that Jelly Roll is just getting started.
With more performances and appearances coming up, fans have plenty to look forward to.
Here’s hoping for more Jelly Roll magic on stage and screen in the near future!
