Emergency Landing Required on Way to CMT Music Awards

Jelly Roll made a few more stops than he had planned on his way to the CMT Music Awards ceremony scheduled for this weekend.

Bunnie Xo, Jelly Roll's treasured wife shared a video to TikTok showing a concerned group and put the caption, "When the private jet you are in just stopped mid air, turned around and said we had to emergency land because of a malfunction."

The drama apparently continued after landing when the group was faced with the possibility of having to get back on the malfunctioning plane.

All is well and you can expect to see Jelly Roll at the awards ceremony where he is nominated for three different awards along with being one of the performers.

After winning all of the categories he was nominated for in 2023, Jelly Roll returns this year for his music video of the song "Need a Favor".  The video is nominated in the Video of the Year and Male Video of the Year categories, along with Performance of the Year for his live performance of the song at the 2023 CMT Music Awards.

April has started off well for the performer by taking the stage at the iHeart Radio Awards for a performance and then earning the award for the Best New Pop Artist along with winning Best New Country Artist.

Jelly Roll is tied with Cody Johnson, Kelsea Ballerini, Lainey Wilson and Megan Moroney for the most nominations of the night.

The CMT Awards are to be held in Austin, Texas at the Moody Center on Sunday, April 7 and will air live on CBS at 7 CST. Along with Jelly Roll, Jason Aldean, Kelsea Ballerini, Dasha, Megan Moroney, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson and more will perform live.

The top three nominees for "Video of the Year" will be announced Sunday morning and voting will continue through the live show, leading up to the finale of the night's biggest award.
