Jelly Roll Reveals His Dream Super Bowl Halftime Lineup of Performers and It’s Full of Country Legends

Jelly Roll knows what he’d like to see at the Super Bowl.

During an appearance on the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast alongside friend and fellow musician Ernest, the “Need a Favor” singer revealed his dream lineup of performers for a future Super Bowl halftime show.

“You know what my dream would be?” said Jelly, 40. “When it comes to Nashville, they do a country music Super Bowl.”

The rapper-turned-singer explained, “And it’s not even about an artist. Like, it cuts to Garth [Brooks] on one stage, and he’s doing ‘Friends [in Low Places],’ then it cuts to Reba [McEntire] and then Lainey [Wilson] and then me and then Morgan [Wallen].

Jelly noted the production would be about “18 minutes” in total — a bit longer than most halftime shows.

Only once in the past has the Super Bowl featured a fully country halftime lineup. The 1994 big game saw Clint Black, Tanya Tucker, Travis Tritt and the Judds perform as part of the Rockin’ Country Sunday show.

Shania Twain also performed as part of the 2003 Super Bowl halftime show, while the following year’s production featured Kid Rock — though he’s historically blended many genres, not just country.

Many more country artists, however, have performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the Super Bowl over the years, including Brooks, McEntire, Charley Pride, Chris Stapleton and Mickey Guyton, among others.

Elsewhere in Jelly’s Bussin’ with the Boys appearance, he spoke about why he’s been so open about his weight loss journey as of late.

“I remember I would watch people be so ashamed about how big they got, celebrities, and they would go hide and lose the weight and then pop back out, like, ‘New me! Who this?’ You know what I mean? And then they could never really connect because people are like, ‘This is weird,'” he said.

“I was so fat,” continued Jelly. “I have lost all of this weight, and I’m going to lose another 100 pounds. The best part is… I was so fat that I’m still fat.”

“Think about that. I was so fat that now I’m sitting on your bus right now, 375 pounds,” he said with a laugh, “and we’re proud of me.”
