Jelly Roll Sheds Decade-Old Beard, Unveils New Look
21 Nov
Summary
- Jelly Roll shaved off his decade-old beard on November 20.
- He cited past weight struggles as a reason for growing the beard.
- The singer expressed deep gratitude for his multiple Grammy nominations.
Country music star Jelly Roll recently took to Instagram to debut a drastically different look, having shaved off the beard he had maintained for ten years. The 40-year-old artist humorously compared himself to a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, explaining that his beard had previously helped him cover up his physique during his extensive weight loss journey, where he lost over 200 pounds.
This personal transformation coincides with a monumental career moment for Jelly Roll, who is celebrating three 2026 Grammy nominations. He described the nominations as the 'craziest thing' he has experienced, reflecting on his past belief that he would only attend the awards once. The overwhelming gratitude he feels is palpable as he anticipates the ceremony.
His nominations include Best Contemporary Country Album for 'Beautifully Broken,' Best Country Duo/Group Performance for 'Amen' with Shaboozey, and Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for 'Hard Fought Hallelujah' with Brandon Lake. Despite the accolades, Jelly Roll emphasized the honor of the nominations themselves, particularly for 'Beautifully Broken,' and encouraged his fans to comment humorously on his newly revealed chin.
