As a die-hard country music fan who has witnessed countless memorable moments at the Grammy Awards, I can confidently say that Jelly Roll’s first encounter with Taylor Swift is one for the books! It’s not every day you see a Grammy-nominated artist left tongue-tied by none other than the “Lavender Haze” queen herself.
The legendary musician Jelly Roll had an unforgettable initial encounter with Taylor Swift, as he shared in an interview with PEOPLE. At the 2024 Grammy Awards, their first exchange left him feeling less than stellar. In this interaction, he intended to share with Swift that he once pushed his daughter, Bailee, on a swing at a playground in Hendersonville, Tennessee, which she had contributed to through funding. However, his nerves got the best of him and he struggled to articulate his thoughts effectively.

In conversation with folks, Jelly Roll shared an interesting story about himself. He mentioned he had a message for Taylor Swift, but his nerves overpowered him at the moment. You might recall that during her brief stay in Hendersonville, the “Fortnite” celebrity had contributed to rebuilding a playground. This particular playground was the Kids Kingdom, which was damaged by the Cumberland River floods in May 2010. Jelly Roll was referring to Taylor Swift’s partnership with Little Tikes Commercial for this project.
At a high school close to a playground, a person named Swift made a generous donation of $100,000 towards the overall budget. Roll informed PEOPLE that he had once pushed his daughter on a swing set that Taylor Swift, the “Lavender Haze” singer, had donated. However, during a meeting with the pop star to share this tale, Roll couldn’t remember which specific swing set it was. In an unexpected turn of events, the Grammy-nominated country artist confessed to feeling jittery despite Swift initiating their encounter at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
Jelly Roll shared that his wife, Bunnie Xo, notified him when Taylor Swift arrived. Despite having a motive to express his admiration for her, he struggled to find the right phrases. He reminisced about saying something like, “You set up the swingset somewhere, my daughter, I pushed her on it.” Admitting that he was at a loss for words, the country musician joked, “I messed up badly!
At one point, Bunnie XO shared on TikTok a video of her husband’s initial encounter with Taylor Swift, an event that later became popular. She titled the video, “When your spouse finally gets to meet their crush.” In this brief 11-second footage, both musicians pose for pictures before Swift initiates a warm embrace. The video has now garnered over 1.4 million likes.
