Jelly Roll emerged as one of the night’s standout winners at the 2026 GRAMMY Awards, capturing three trophies including Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken.

The Nashville native took home Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken during the televised broadcast on CBS. It was his first GRAMMY win to air live and capped a major night for the artist, whose genre crossing sound has continued to gain industry recognition.

Earlier in the evening at the Premiere Ceremony, Jelly Roll earned his first two GRAMMY Awards. He won Best Country Duo or Group Performance for “Amen,” a collaboration with Shaboozey, and Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance or Song for “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” recorded with Brandon Lake.

The award for Best Contemporary Country Album was presented by GRAMMY winners Lainey Wilson and Jeff Goldblum. The win marked Jelly Roll’s first GRAMMY Awards after years of chart success and critical acclaim.

Also celebrated during the weekend was BMG Nashville Publishing, which counted six total GRAMMY wins across its roster. In addition to Jelly Roll’s three awards, the company recognized victories by Buddy Guy and members of I’m With Her. Buddy Guy won Best Traditional Blues Album for Ain’t Done With the Blues. I’m With Her earned Best Folk Album for Wild And Clear Blue, while “Ancient Light,” written by Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O’Donovan, and Sara Watkins, won Best American Roots Song.

Earlier on Sunday, it was announced that Jelly Roll will return to the road with Post Malone for The Big Ass Stadium Tour Part 2. The tour is set to launch April 10 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Beautifully Broken, Jelly Roll’s latest album, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and marked his second number one debut on the Billboard Country Albums chart. The album includes the chart topping songs “I Am Not Okay,” “Liar,” and “Heart of Stone.”

The three GRAMMY wins further cement Jelly Roll’s rise as one of the most influential artists in modern country and roots music. Beyond his success on the charts and stage, he remains deeply involved in community outreach, frequently visiting correctional facilities and rehabilitation centers and supporting music education initiatives tied to his own past experiences.

With global performances, record breaking tours, and now GRAMMY recognition, Jelly Roll’s momentum shows no sign of slowing as he enters the next chapter of his career.
