Jelly Roll Was ‘Trembling’ During CMA Fest Performance
Jelly Roll revealed that during his first performance at CMA Fest at Nissan Stadium in June, which was televised as a TV special on ABC, he was “trembling.”
Jelly posted a video clip of the performance on his Instagram. He wrote in a lengthy caption, “If you listen closely, you can hear my voice shaking the first half of the song— I was trembling; I was so nervous. 65,000 people in my hometown stadium- the same stadium my father took me to every Sunday for Titans games. The same stadium I’ve been taking my daughter to since she was a baby.”
He continued, “Thank you, CMA fest, for letting me be a part of your 50th anniversary – I have literally been going to ‘Fan Fair’ since I was a child. This night was unbelievable… to hear 65k people [sing] ‘and God, I need a Favor’ in unison like one voice. Speaking of ‘NEED A FAVOR,’ I can officially say it is the #1 song on Country Radio right now. There is no greater achievement in this town than being #1 in country radio. The fact this is my 2nd number one at Country Radio this year makes it almost unbelievable to me, to be honest – and this same song also held 3 weeks at number 1 on Rock radio.”
Jelly concluded, “Just when I thought things couldn’t get any wilder, y’all continue to amaze me. Thank y’all – this has been an unreal year.”

In a recent interview, Jelly said that he regrets most of his ink. When asked about his tattoo regrets, he admitted, “Oh, 96 percent of them. I have more tattoo regrets than ‘Man, I’m glad I got this.'”
Jelly added, “How you think at 16 years old and how you think at 36 years old are so dramatically far apart from each other. It’s embarrassing.”
There are a few tats that Jelly doesn’t regret, though. He noted, “The tour tattoos I would keep cause they do have a cool story, but the rest of these are like, yeah dude, I can’t believe I thought like that.”
