Jelly Roll Invited to Join the Grand Ole Opry in Surprise on Joe Rogan's Podcast

A video message from Craig Morgan signaled institutional recognition of his chart success, with an induction date to come.

Overview

  • The Dec. 10 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience featured a prerecorded clip from Morgan at the Opry inviting Jelly Roll to become a member.
  • The singer broke down in tears, removed his headphones, and hugged host Joe Rogan on air after hearing the message.
  • Jelly Roll later confirmed the invitation on Instagram as the Grand Ole Opry publicly welcomed him; the official induction date remains pending.
  • He made his Opry debut in November 2021 and has returned for multiple performances, including benefit shows in 2025.
  • Opry membership weighs airplay, sales, touring and industry recognition, and Jelly Roll has eight Country Airplay No. 1s plus a Billboard 200 No. 1 album.
