There are showstoppers, and then there are moments that change the room. At the 2025 ACM Awards, Shaboozey and Jelly Roll delivered one of those moments. The performance of their spiritual anthem “Amen” didn’t just shake the stage—it shook hearts. It began with Jelly Roll’s intense solo on “Heart of Stone,” but what came next made history. A choir entered. Shaboozey took the spotlight. And Jelly Roll walked through the crowd, high-fiving Wynonna Judd, nodding to Lainey Wilson, and preaching every word of their message.
“Amen” isn’t just a song. It’s a cry. A call. A confession. Shaboozey’s verses carried the power of redemption and Southern soul, while Jelly Roll’s growl brought grit and honesty. Backed by a choir and set center-stage in the middle of the audience, the performance felt more like Sunday service than an awards show. And when it ended, Jelly Roll didn’t walk off—he delivered a passionate mini-sermon on God’s grace, then turned to wish Shaboozey a happy birthday. Raw. Real. Reverent.

The performance lit up social media. Viewers called it “a spiritual reset” and “the most moving moment of the night.” In the audience, the vibe shifted—people stood, clapped, and wiped tears. Country music, for a moment, became a vessel for something bigger.
While “Amen” showed Shaboozey’s soul, his breakout hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” showed his swagger. Nominated for Single of the Year, that song put him on the map. His album “Where I’ve Been Isn’t Where I’m Going” is a journey of evolution—grit to grace—and adding “Amen” to the expanded version shows just how deep his story goes.
