The Son Of A Sinner singer could not hold back his tears in the clip, in which he stated that he had made several attempts to express his feelings earlier in the day.

Jelly Roll concluded his video by thanking his fans for their continued support, saying, “I love you all, man. So damn much.”
The CMT Award-winning artist also shared a message in the caption of his post indicating that he would be sharing more of his feelings about the nominations in the near future.
“I’m ashamed to post this, but my wife says honesty and rawness has gotten me this far… I’ll post a more complete thought on this when I get my heads together,” he wrote.
Jelly Roll also noted that he “just never thought” he would be nominated for multiple Grammy Awards.
The nomination for the Best Country Duo/Group Performance Award was for the remix of his song Save Me, on which he collaborated with Lainey Wilson.
Artists like Ice Spice, Gracie Abrams and Noah Kahan have all been nominated for the Best New Artist Award.
