Although traveling by plane is one of the fastest ways to travel, no passenger wants to hear that they have to make an emergency landing thousands of feet in the air.

As for Jelly Roll, he recently expanded his stardom when winning big at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. Besides winning and performing with Lainey Wilson, the singer expressed his love for what he does. “To be one of the voices coming through your radio and to be the best new country artist and represent country music and the best new pop artist, you want to know what it means to a kid like me? I was thinking about it, ‘What does it mean when a guy like me gets the opportunity to be the new pop artists of the year?’ It means that God will always use the least likely messenger with the biggest message every single time. “
