Jelly Roll, Ashley McBryde Share What To Expect From CMA Special
The CMA Fest TV special, which was filmed during the festival a few weeks ago and hosted by Jelly Roll and Ashley McBryde, will air on Tuesday, June 25, at 8/7c on ABC and stream the next day on Hulu.
Backstage before he performed at CMA Fest, Jelly told us, “You can expect pandemonium and chaos with Ashley and me hosting together. It’s been the funnest time.”
He continued, “You go by her green room, and she’s just randomly singing cover songs and entertaining her crew. Like five of them, like Ashley McBryde’s putting on a one-room concert. It’s the coolest thing ever, dude.”
Before she performed, Ashley told us what fans can expect from this hosting duo: “I would tell you what to expect from me and Jelly Roll hosting an event that is totally unsupervised, but it’s a little bit unpredictable. You can expect energy and laughs and probably the most fun you can have in one place.”
The CMA Fest television special will feature never-before-seen performances and surprise collaborations from country music’s biggest names. Performances will be revealed soon.

Jelly Roll’s life has been full of exciting moments in the last two years, and his latest surreal moment came on the set of Paramount’s Tulsa King series, where he spent some time with movie icon Sylvester Stallone.
It was Stallone who posted a clip of himself with the country superstar on Instagram. In the video, Jelly and Stallone are discussing Jelly’s fourth consecutive No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart with “Halfway to Hell.”
Jelly says to the movie star, “I got my fourth No. 1 today, Sly/ I got my fourth No. 1 on the radio this morning.”
Stallone responds, holding up four fingers, “Fourth No. 1, unbelievable, and we got ’em. “
He captioned the post, “Looks like the fantastic singer @jellyroll615 just rolled onto the Tulsa King set! #KeepPunching #TulsaKing.”
Many fans reacted to the Oscar winner’s post, including one who wrote, “@jellyroll615 @officialslystallone 2 of the most relevant men in parts of my life growing up and my life. Now that I am clean and out of my addiction.1/3/08 I cannot wait to watch this. I am such a huge fan of the both of you.” Another fan said, “Absolutely love Sly Stallone and Jelly Roll.
