Jelly Roll Will Be Inducted Into Grand Ole Opry By Lainey Wilson On March 10th

Jelly Roll will become an official Grand Ole Opry member on March 10, inducted by his friend and collaborator Lainey Wilson. The ceremony will feature performances by Craig Morgan, Leanne Morgan, Ernest, and others. Morgan initially extended the Opry invitation through a video message during Jelly Roll's appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Jelly Roll debuted at the Opry on November 9, 2021, and has performed there multiple times since. He credits a life-changing moment watching Morgan perform "Almost Home" from the audience after his release from prison. The 41-year-old country star recently swept his 2026 Grammy nominations, winning 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. The Opry continues its 100th anniversary celebration with upcoming Carnegie Hall performances and special tribute shows scheduled throughout 2026.
