Country music star Jelly Roll has a colorful vocabulary. That was on full display when he was chatting with CMT about his meeting with Taylor Swift at the 2024 Grammys. Jelly Roll met Taylor Swift backstage at the Grammys, and CMT was curious about how that meeting had gone. Jelly Roll, speaking from the heart as he so often does, said, “I’m a fly on a bull’s butt compared to Taylor Swift.”
You’d probably be correct if you thought that Jelly Roll might have been doing some fangirling over Taylor Swift. Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie XO, called it a “crush,” which may fit too. The tattooed, rough-cut giant of a man is in awe of the 34-year-old female powerhouse. Bunnie recorded the meeting and posted it on her TikTok channel.
Jelly Roll elaborated on his feelings for the younger artist. Taylor Swift is from Nashville and is very philanthropic in and around the music city. During the CMT chat, Jelly Roll mentioned her generosity: “I’ve pushed my daughter on a swing set she built for the kids in Hendersonville before. So it was really cool just to get to tell her that.” When the two hugged, it was as contemporaries. Taylor Swift treats Jelly Roll like an equal — another superstar she had the honor to share space with.
Both performers are talented professionals. Both are generous beyond belief, with hearts they wear on their sleeves. Taylor Swift leaves a trail of good deeds (and lots of food) with her generosity. Jelly Roll may not have millions (yet), but he is generous with one thing he has in abundance—his time. He even missed an awards ceremony to fulfill a promise to bring a music program to kids.
