Jelly Roll<\/a> has two major life updates. First, the country star is newly nominated for three Grammys. Second, his face is now bald.<\/p>\n In a chatty video posted to YouTube on Thursday (Nov. 20), Jelly took fans with him as he shaved his beard for the first time in years and shared how he \u201creally feels\u201d about the Recording Academy. After razoring off his facial hair with wife Bunnie Xo at his side in the bathroom, he went for a walk outside and talked to viewers one on one.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBy now, you have probably figured out that I look like a Ninja Turtle,\u201d he said self-deprecatingly, explaining that before his recent weight loss<\/a>, he felt he \u201cwas so obese, it was easier to cover what was happening here [with a beard].\u201d<\/p>\n Jelly then fought back tears while addressing his 2026 nominations for best country duo\/group performance for the Shaboozey duet \u201cAmen,\u201d best contemporary country album for Beautifully Broken <\/em>and best contemporary Christian music performance\/song for \u201cHard Fought Hallelujah.\u201d \u201cWhen I look at these nominations, all I see is God,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to cry,\u201d the singer continued. \u201cWow, country album of the year. It\u2019s not even about the album or the nom. It\u2019s about the name.\u201d<\/p>\n Getting emotional, Jelly said that the title of his 2024 Billboard 200<\/a>-topping LP represents \u201cwhat\u2019s happening in the world right now, I think, more than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWin, lose, or draw, holy f\u2014, dude, we won,\u201d he added. \u201cI know a lot of artists give the Grammys a lot of sh\u2013, but the truth is I feel honored \u2026 Y\u2019all make fun of me now and leave comments about my double chin.\u201d<\/p>\n Jelly has now been nominated for a total of seven Grammys, earning his first nods in 2024 for best new artist and best country duo\/group performance for his and Lainey Wilson\u2019s \u201cSave Me.\u201d The following year, he scored nominations for best country song and best country solo performance for \u201cI Am Not Okay.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/a> Billboard VIP Pass<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
