Country Star Jelly Roll Reveals to Utah Crowd He’s Buying a House—Not in Nashville

Over the last few years, Jelly Roll proved himself to be a top talent in country music with songs like “Need a Favor.” Looking back, the country singer used the last three years to produce albums like Ballads of the Broken, Whitsitt Chapel, and now, Beautifully Broken. With his newest album hitting shelves in a few weeks, the country singer decided to hit the road to celebrate yet another milestone. And when the star stopped by Salt Lake City, he found the atmosphere more than inviting as he hinted at an upcoming move.

On more than one occasion, Jelly Roll gushed over how much Nashville means to him. Having played a massive part in country music, many singers hold the city close to their hearts. Considered sacred ground within country music, Jelly Roll appeared to shock some fans when he praised the city. “I’ve been all over this place dude.” He continued, “I’ve been to Park City, I’ve been to Heber, I’ve been to West Valley City. I’ve been to Salt Lake City. I truly could not have asked for a better way to open this tour. I could not have asked for a better crowd tonight Salt Lake City.”
