Jelly Roll just had one of the biggest moments of his career — and it happened in one of the most unexpected places.
During a new episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the country star was blindsided by a video message from Craig Morgan. In the clip, Morgan officially invited Jelly Roll to become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry. The second the message started playing, Jelly Roll completely lost it. He took off his headphones, put his face in his hands, and started sobbing.
It was raw, emotional, and honestly… one of those full-circle moments you don’t forget.
For Jelly, this isn’t just another career milestone. He made his Opry debut in 2021 — something he’d dreamed about since he was a kid. And in 2022, he performed Almost Home on the Opry stage with Craig Morgan himself, a song that helped him get through some of the toughest moments of his life.
So hearing that same artist invite him into one of country music’s most exclusive clubs? No wonder he fell apart.
There’s no official induction date yet, but the invitation alone is huge. Becoming part of the Opry family is one of the highest honors in country music, and Jelly Roll’s journey to get here makes it even more meaningful.
This moment says it all: from struggling to survive to standing shoulder-to-shoulder with legends — Jelly Roll has earned every bit of this.
