Lainey Wilson Cowboys Half-Time Show Performance!

Yesterday, as per Thanksgiving tradition, the Dallas Cowboys had their annual Thanksgiving Day game- which they actually won against The Giants- and every year, they have a full-on halftime show.

Last year it was the iconic Dolly Parton, who took to the stage in a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader uniform.

Mind you, she’s 77, and still rocked it:

Ok, so back to yesterday’s performance…

Lainey Wilson was the esteemed halftime show performer, and she did a fantastic job. Sadly, she wasn’t rocking the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader uniform, but she looked and sounded great, and was obviously singing live, which is a bonus.

The NFL blocks people from sharing their Youtube videos (rude), but here’s what I found on social media:

And Lainey even brought out Jelly Roll as a surprise guest!

Also, have I mentioned before how much I love the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders?

I care zero about the team, but the cheerleaders are badass. I have seen every single episode of “Making the Team” and I’m not even a little ashamed.

In all, I thought it was a great performance, and Lainey represented Country Music well, as always!

Jelly Roll and Kelly Clarkson “I Am Not Ok”

 

This is SO good!

Jelly Roll was on the “Kelly Clarkson Show” earlier today, and they performed his latest hit on Country Radio “I Am Not Ok” together with Kelly on the back-up vocals, and it just took it to a whole new level.

Seriously, though. Kelly just makes everything EVEN better.

Her voice is just on a whole different plane than most humans.

Also, Jelly Roll has a new album out featuring the song you just heard and 22 other songs. It’s called, “Beautifully Broken”, and came out last week.

I still have chill bumps from that performance, how about you?

Jelly Roll on “Saturday Night Live”!

Last night was the kickoff of the 50th Season of “Saturday Night Live” and Jelly Roll was the musical guest.

Dude is EVERYWHERE these days, and he is owning pretty much every performance.

Last night was no different, as he rocked his latest release to Rock radio “Liar” and a new song called “Winning Streak”:


Solid work.

Jelly Roll’s new album “Beautifully Broken” comes out October 11th, and you can get his tour dates at http://JellyRoll615.com

Jelly Roll Performs “I Am Not Okay” at The Emmy Awards

Did you watch the Emmy Awards last night?

Yeah, me neither.

I’m just catching the highlights this morning, and one of the big moments apparently was Jelly Roll performing “I Am Not Okay” for the “In Memoriam” segment where those in the industry who passed away in the past year were honored.

Jelly Roll and the symphony accompanying him did a really great job:


In all, a very moving performance, but there are some that are questioning the song choice… since it’s a song about depression and suicidal thoughts.

Jelly Roll tried to explain the meaning at the beginning of the performance, but I kind of get why some people are like, “why THIS song to honor those who had passed”?

I’m assuming most of those being honored didn’t pass away due to self-harm… unless I’m missing something over here?

Some viewers were just as confused as I am:

Oh, and my favorite… because I thought the same thing when the VO guys presented Jelly Roll:

Yes, it was a great performance, and very moving… but also kind of a weird choice.

 

What do you think? Did the song choice make sense? Or totally miss the mark?

 

 

Jelly Roll “Liar”

Jelly Roll just keeps putting out the hits, and his new single “Liar” is sure to keep that train a rolling.

Fans have been waiting for this release since he performed it at the Grand Ole Opry earlier this year, and the full single is sure to be another hit:

What I like about Jelly Roll is his relatablity and honesty, which comes through in his songwriting. All of us have been in a situation like he describes in “Liar”, be it addiction, an abusive relationship, or just simple self-loathing.

This song is standing up to whatever demons haunt you.

I honestly really like his music, and to those who are hating on Jelly being in Country Music, I ask why? Isn’t what makes Country Music special is the storytelling and relatability?

Jelly Roll has that on lock.

This song will be on Jelly Roll’s upcoming follow-up to his hit album “Whitsitt Chapel”, due out later this year.

Sorry, haters. Jelly is here to stay.

Jelly Roll “I Am Not Okay”

Calling it right now: This is Jelly’s Roll’s future fifth #1 Country Hit.

Jelly is currently #1 on the Hot Country chart with “Halfway to Hell”, and has just released his follow-up “I Am Not Okay”.

He debuted it during “The Voice” finale on NBC a few weeks ago, and his fans begged him to release it, so here it is!


Powerful stuff right there.

Like so many of Jelly Roll’s songs, it resonates with so many.

It’s a reminder that we ALL go through stuff, and it’s ok to not be ok.

You’re not alone.

Jelly Roll is on a MAJOR roll this year, and he’s just gonna keep it up from the looks of things.

Jelly Roll Debuts New Song at Grand Ole Opry

Jelly Roll is EVERYWHERE these days. On your radio, on your tv, and he’s basically taking over with his Country/Rock vibe and big (no pun intended) personality and amazing backstory.

He’s one of the few artists that gets regular airplay on Country, Rock, Top 40, and Adult Contemporary radio.

That in itself is a huge deal.

Well, last night, at The Grand Ole Opry, he debuted a new, unreleased song to see how it went over, and I have a feeling it’ll be on his next project.

Check out “Liar” below:

According to the fans’ reaction, it definitely has big hit potential.

Jelly is on a roll (Yes, bad dad joke) and shows no signs of stopping.

Cody Johnson and Jelly Roll “Whiskey Bent” Live at Houston Rodeo!

A few months ago, Cody Johnson and Jelly Roll released a really good collab called “Whiskey Bent”, and if you haven’t heard it yet, then here ya go:


Pretty good, right?

Well, Jelly Roll had a surprise for the sold out Houston Rodeo this week- he brought out Cody Johnson to the stage to perform the collab live for the first time!

What a cool surprise for the crowd.  And what a great song!

I’m honestly all for the collabs that are populating Country Music. Some really good songs are coming from these surprising combos.

Both Cody and Jelly are on the road (separately, of course) this year.

What Country stars would you like to see team up in the future?

Kelly Clarkson “Save Me”

Ok, I admit it. I am living for “Kellyoke” these days.

Seriously, I love seeing Kelly Clarkson’s take on different songs, and she hasn’t failed us yet.

Her latest effort? Covering the Jelly Roll hit “Save Me”.

I have a thousand and three chill bumps after this.

I mean, damn, how good is that?

And Jelly Roll, naturally, was extremely impressed as well, as he expressed on his socials:

Having Kelly cover your song on her show has to be a double-edged sword, though.

It’s great that she deemed a song great enough to cover, sure, but she’ll also sing it better than anyone else ever could.

Girlfriend sets the bar HIGH.
