This article has been updated since its initial publish date to include more information regarding Jelly Roll’s recent weight loss transformation.
Jelly Roll showed off the results of his 70-lb weight loss at the first-ever Country Calling Festival in Maryland on October 4th. Fans can’t get enough of his recent transformation! The “Need a Favor” singer, 39, donned a monochromatic, edgy all-black get-up along with chain necklaces and a backwards baseball cap. The “Save Me” crooner (real name Jason Bradley DeFord) performed riveting live versions of his beloved hits and also joined Riley Green for their collab, “Copenhagen in a Cadillac.”
Soon after his appearance, fans headed to the comments section of his October 5th Instagram post, commending his set and “healthy” look for the show. “You brought the energy best show of the entire festival,” one commented as another added: “WOW!!Keep on rollin Jelly! We are lovin it!!”
This also isn’t the first time that Jelly Roll has wowed his fanbase with his vocal prowess and slimmed-down physique. At the Academy of Country Music Awards on May 16th, he took to the stage in some light-colored pants, a matching short-sleeve shirt, and a white T-shirt underneath.
This year’s ACM Awards were particularly exciting for the musician, as he and Lainey Wilson took home the prize for ‘Music Event of the Year’ for their song, “Save Me.”
During his emotional acceptance speech, the “Wild Ones” singer said: “This song saved me. I was in a dark place. I wrote it from my soul. I knew people would connect with it.” He also said: “I thought I would die and go to jail, and I’m standing here today as an ACM Awards winner.” Jelly Roll was looking evidently trimmer at the ACM Awards. And his fans also noticed, taking to social media to praise him!
Jelly Roll shared a video of his time at the ACM Awards, which he attended with his wife Bunnie Xo. “Thank You ACM’s — how beautiful was my date in that blue dress?” he captioned his post, in reference to his wife.
“Beautiful souls find each other,” gushed one fan. “Best couple ever!” exclaimed another, as a third commented: “You look incredible! Bunnie is always perfect!” Another fan wrote: “Bunnie your husband looks so handsome in that cream beige color!” They added: “Don’t hide behind the black. You’re a handsome man!”
