Imagine getting the biggest news of your career while sitting on a podcast. That is precisely what happened to the singer Jelly Roll. During his interview on The Joe Rogan Experience, his friend and Opry member Craig Morgan appeared in a video message. This message was about one of country music’s highest honors: an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry.
Jelly Roll was utterly taken by surprise. You see him instantly covered in tears and hugging Joe Rogan. This raw moment showed how much the Opry means to him. He was so shocked that he even said, “I bet I’m the first person to ever get invited to the Grand Ole Opry on a podcast!”
I don’t even know what to say right now y’all.
The music world immediately cheered for him. Craig Morgan wrote, “Couldn’t think of anyone more deserving. Welcome home.” Singers Brantley Gilbert said, “So proud of you, brother.” Even the Opry itself welcomed him, saying, “We love ya, Jelly! Welcome to the family.”
Jelly Roll’s journey of getting an invitation on a modern podcast platform led him to the most traditional stage in country music. Jelly Roll is so humble because this is not the first time he has been invited on this stage! He has already performed on this stage before.
