Kicking off the 2025 ACM Awards, Reba McEntire welcomed a stunning showcase of singers that included LeAnn Rimes, Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, and even Clint Black. Although getting his own chance to perform, Jelly Roll walked into the awards, smiling ear to ear. With his wife, Bunnie Xo, at his side, the country singer was simply enjoying the atmosphere and celebrating the genre. But during the event, Jelly Roll got the chance to cross off a unique milestone in his career when he signed a jar of jelly.
That last sentence might sound a little weird, but that was exactly what happened. Having been nominated for Entertainer of the Year, Jelly Roll didn’t seem stressed at all. Always willing to flash a smile or share a special moment, he jumped at the chance to sign the jar of jelly. Even when he admitted it was a first in his career, the singer laughed.

As always, he took a moment to shower his wife with praise. “How hot is my wife tonight? I mean she’s a smoke smoke show waking up in the morning – but tonight that dress was to killlllll”
