Jelly Roll<\/a>\u00a0graced the red carpet Thursday at Spotify’s Best New Artist Party, just days before the much-anticipated 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The singer, nominated in two prestigious categories — Best New Artist and Best Country Duo\/Group Performance — for his soul-stirring rendition of “Save Me” with collaborator Lainey Wilson, took a moment to share his thoughts and emotions with ET’s Cassie DiLaura.<\/span><\/p>\n Jelly Roll opened up about the significance of being nominated for Best New Artist, expressing, “Ah, it means nothing short of everything. I mean, this is a big deal. This don’t get no bigger. I even felt almost a little out of place when my plane landed because I was like, ‘This is big big. We ain’t in Nashville no more, Toto. This is huge. Winning would be… I wouldn’t know what to do. I’d probably cry and give the worst speech ever. But just being here for me is a W, this is a huge win.”<\/span><\/p>\n Reflecting on his journey and the overwhelming emotions leading up to Sunday’s GRAMMY Awards, Jelly Roll shared, “I’m worried about Sunday. Yeah, I think up until then, we’re just partying, enjoying it with everybody, but I think Sunday’s gonna be a real thing for me. Probably when I stand on that red carpet and I realize the magnitude of me actually being at the GRAMMYs. And I have a rule in life, man — you do everything the first time like you’ll never do it again, and that’s how we’re doing it this week.”<\/span><\/p>\n Addressing his nomination for Best Country Duo\/Group Performance for “Save Me,” Jelly Roll shed light on his camaraderie with Wilson.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “Man, we have the coolest text thread ever,” he shared. “I landed, I was on my way, and my manager said, ‘Man, we’re on the way to the GRAMMYs. What were we doing a year ago?’ So I went in my calendar, and one year ago on January 30th, Lainey Wilson laid her verse for ‘Save Me.’ So the day that me and her, and I text her, I go, ‘One year ago, we’re flying to, we’re nominated for this song, you laid vocals a year ago today.’ She said, ‘You won’t believe it. I just landed in L.A.’ I said, ‘I’m two hours behind you.'”<\/span><\/p>\n In November, <\/span>Jelly Roll<\/a> shared his emotional reaction to his GRAMMY nominations, posting a video of himself in tears over the recognition to Instagram.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “I’m not sure if I’ll post this or not because I’m so emotional, but the greatest honor an artist could ever hear is that they’ve been nominated for a GRAMMY,” <\/span>the country singer said through tears.<\/a> “I got to hear that this morning. I haven’t cried like this since my daddy died. I tried making this video seven times, y’all. I love y’all, man. So f**king much.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Beneath the Instagram video, Jelly Roll wrote, “I’m embarrassed to post this but my wife says honesty and rawness got me this far \u2026 I’ll post a more complete thought about this when I get my head together. I just never would’ve imagined.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In the comments, several celebrities celebrated Jelly Roll’s big accomplishment. “YOU DESERVE IT ALL!!!!!!! \ud83d\ude4c We are so happy for you!!!!!!!
