Jelly Roll at the 2024 CMT Music Awards in Austin.
CNN —
It was a big night for Jelly Roll at the CMT Music Awards.
Jelly Roll took home all three of the awards for which he was nominated, including video of the year for his hit song “Need a Favor.”
In his acceptance speech, Jelly Roll thanked his wife Bunnie XO, sweetly saying, “I am blessed to have you as a best friend; I am blessed to have you as a partner. You find beauty in broken things, and I love you.”
Jelly Roll also won male video of the year and CMT performance of the year at the ceremony, which was held in Austin, Texas on Sunday.
Keith Urban, Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson, Little Big Town + Sugarland, Megan Moroney and Sam Hunt were among the night’s performers, as well as Jelly Roll, who closed the show.
Wilson, Brooks & Dunn and rock legend Sammy Hagar honored the late country music star Toby Keith with a celebratory tribute performance, backed by his longtime band on stage. Keith’s family were in the audience on Sunday and raised a red cup to Keith in an emotional toast led by his friend, former MLB pitcher Roger Clemens.
Trisha Yearwood received the inaugural June Carter Cash Humanitarian Award, saying in her speech that her mantra is “love one another,” and that her “challenge to all of us is to not just say it, but let’s actually go out there and do it.”
