Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie Xo were celebrating on Sunday afternoon (Feb. 1) heading into the night’s 2026 Grammy Awards as the country superstar picked up his first and second Grammys before the prime-time broadcast even started.
During the Grammys’ pre-telecast Premiere Ceremony, Jelly Roll picked up his first two Grammy wins: best country duo/group performance for his collaboration with Shaboozey on their song “Amen” and best contemporary Christian music performance/song for his collaboration with Brandon Lake on “Hard Fought Hallelujah.”
Though Jelly Roll wasn’t onstage during the Premiere Ceremony, he and Bunnie were absolutely celebrating the wins. As they learned of his first Grammy win, Bunnie and her team quickly shared the celebratory moment with fans on social media. A video, shared on Bunnie Xo’s Facebook page, opens with the podcast host getting ready for the Grammys, speaking to Jelly Roll on her phone, saying, “I knew it! I told you you were gonna win a Grammy!” The video then shows Bunnie rushing to meet up with Jelly Roll to celebrate together. As she entered the room to greet her husband, the two quickly embraced in an emotional hug. And then they quickly had more to celebrate.
The video is captioned with, “While this was uploading he WON ANOTHER ONE!!! TWO GRAMMY’S!!!!!!”
“Hard Fought Hallelujah” reached the top 40 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, while the song also topped the Christian Airplay chart. Meanwhile, “Amen” reached No. 5 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.
Jelly Roll is also up for best contemporary country album this year, for his Billboard 200 chart-topping album Beautifully Broken. Jelly Roll has earned a total of seven Grammy nominations to date.
