One of the best things about today’s country music scene is the sense of camaraderie among artists. That brotherhood was on full display at Nashville’s Big Bash, where musicians came together to celebrate a phenomenal year for the genre.
Backstage, Jelly Roll and Shaboozey shared a lighthearted moment, swaying and belting out I Had Some Help by Post Malone and Morgan Wallen. The song, one of 2024’s biggest hits, blasted from the speakers as the two friends laughed, danced, and soaked in the joy of the night.
Jelly Roll and Shaboozey’s bond has grown throughout 2024, with Shaboozey joining Jelly’s Beautifully Broken tour as an opener on several dates. Their friendship reached a new level during the final show of the tour when Jelly Roll surprised Shaboozey with a heartfelt tribute in front of 15,000 fans.
“It’s the last night of the tour, and I wanna say it to your face in front of everybody,” Jelly Roll announced. “You’ve got the No. 1 song in the world and you’ve broken records. Anybody who calls you a one-hit wonder is wrong. You’re gonna be here for a long time.”
Jelly went on to express his admiration, saying, “I pray one day you’re playing stadiums, and I pray I’m opening up for you. You could’ve toured with anybody, but you chose the Jelly Roll tour. You’re a man of integrity, and I stand beside you.”
Jelly Roll’s prediction for Shaboozey is already looking spot on—his smash hit A Bar Song (Tipsy) has dominated the charts, spending a record-breaking 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Meanwhile, Jelly Roll himself is set to play stadiums in 2025, joining Post Malone on his Big Ass Stadium Tour.
Fans are now wondering if a collaboration between Shaboozey and Morgan Wallen is in the works. Shaboozey recently hinted in a Billboard interview that Wallen was originally meant to feature on his 2024 album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going.
A Jelly Roll and Shaboozey duet would also make perfect sense, given their growing friendship and mutual respect. While nothing official has been announced yet, rapper BigXthaPlug has teased a possible project featuring Shaboozey, Jelly Roll, Post Malone, and Morgan Wallen. If that happens, country music fans are in for something truly special.
For now, one thing is clear—Jelly Roll and Shaboozey’s brotherhood is just as strong as their talent, and their journey in country music is only getting started.
