Getting three Grammy nominations changed everything for Jelly Roll. He found out the news while he was far away in Australia. The musician became emotional and tearful because these nominations mean so much more to him than just music awards. He was nominated for his album Beautifully Broken and for two powerful songs, showcasing his long journey of change and faith.
He also talked about his new look in the video. After shaving his beard, he joked that he looked like a “ninja turtle.” He shared that he grew the beard years ago because he was “so obese” and wanted to cover up his size. Now, after losing about 200 pounds and achieving significant success, these awards mark a huge personal victory and a sense of redemption for his past struggles.
How I REALLY feel about the Grammys…And I look like a ninja turtle
The fans loved seeing this raw moment. One viewer said, “Our Savior Jesus is all about redemption! He takes the most (beautifully) broken… to show all of us that He can change us.” Another person cheered, “We LOVE YOU!!! Your honesty, humility, openness, raw and genuine truth!!” It was clear that people connected to his real-life story of overcoming addiction and prison.
This celebration of redemption leads us to one of his nominated tracks, “Amen.” The song is a collaboration with Shaboozey. It is a desperate cry for hope and grace in the middle of fighting inner demons and bad choices. The song’s theme is the raw, emotional struggle to overcome a troubled past.
