Jelly Roll Thanks Jesus
Country singer Jelly Roll faced online backlash after delivering an emotional, faith-centered acceptance speech at the 2026 Grammys, where he thanked Jesus and spoke about his spiritual journey while accepting Best Contemporary Country Album. Some critics mocked the moment and questioned why religion was highlighted at an awards show, fueling a social media debate about faith in entertainment.
During the speech, Jelly Roll tearfully credited his wife, Bunnie Xo, with saving his life, saying he “would have killed myself if it wasn’t for you and Jesus,” and reflecting on the darkest periods of his past.
He also emphasized that “Jesus is not owned by one political party,” framing his message as one of unity and personal transformation shaped by his troubled history and recovery.
Jelly Roll's Grammy acceptance speech, where he thanked Jesus and held up a Bible, sparked controversy among liberals who accused him of 'religious psychosis'. Despite the backlash, many viewers were moved by his emotional words about how Christianity and music changed his life.
