Although once struggling with addiction and making ends meet, Jelly Roll is now among the top stars in country music. Helping bring in a new era of the genre, the singer does more than perform as he constantly helps out those around him and tries to give back to the community. He also never runs from his past and the tribulations he went through. But recently, Jelly Roll opened up about how excited he was to win the New Artist of the Year award at the CMAs. The only problem, the excitement mixed with nervousness caused him to shatter the award.

Speaking with Jimmy Fallon about winning at the CMAs, the host offered a clip showing a live broadcast. As reporter Stephanie Langston discusses the night, glass shattering can be heard in the distance. She revealed what happened, explaining, “Oh goodness, Jelly Roll just broke his award. Yeah, he’s still standing there. I’m pretty sure it’s his award. He just dropped it on the floor.”

Jelly Roll Offers Sticky Solution To Broken Award

Sharing a laugh over the video, Fallon even offered a picture of what the broken award looked like. Jelly Roll revealed, “First of all, when it first dropped, you could’ve heard a mouse pee on cotton. I mean, it was dead silent, and right after you could’ve heard a cricket fart, you heard a bunch of people go ‘Aww.’”

Still getting used to fame, Jelly Roll continued, “I was so excited, and I was going to change it from one hand to the other to shake somebody’s hand, and it just boomed. And I was like — this is the story of my life though, Jimmy. I finally get my life together. I win the biggest award — best new artist — I was one of the oldest people to ever win it. I was 39 years old. I gave a passionate speech, and then I came backstage and fumbled the ball. Just fumbled the ball!”

While saddened over the broke award, Jelly Roll switched the negative into a positive. “I think it fits me great. I’ll just duct tape it together.”
