Jelly Roll disclosed that he attended the 2026 Grammy Awards with a broken collarbone suffered from an ATV accident. The singer shared on Instagram that he flipped his vehicle in December 2025, while showing an X-ray dated December 18th. “I was out there running all over the Grammys with a broken collarbone,” Jelly said. “Every time I hugged somebody that week, I wanted to scream.” Despite his injury, he swept all three Grammy categories he was nominated for, winning Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken, Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “Amen” with Shaboozey, and Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance for “Hard Fought Hallelujah” with Brandon Lake. Jelly’s wife Bunnie XO told Entertainment Tonight that one of his Grammys will be given to Nashville’s juvenile detention center for inspiration, after the singer served time there as a teenager.
