Jelly Roll, the country‑pop star known for hits like “Save Me,” arrived at Sydney Airport on Tuesday and showed off a dramatic 200‑pound weight reduction. The 40‑year‑old walked through the terminal with a backpack, wearing a black hoodie, matching pants, and a blue‑and‑gray Tennessee Titans cap that fans instantly recognized.
The same look caught many eyes as he began his “Down Under” tour. From October 24 to November 6, the singer will perform nine shows across Australia, and his fresh, lean physique is already turning heads. In the lead‑up to the tour, Jelly Roll posted a photo on Instagram proclaiming, “I can fit into Louis Vuitton now. Pray for my bank account,” a hint of confidence that follows months of hard work.
Jelly Roll’s fitness journey started publicly in late 2022 after a 540‑pound weight drop to 357 pounds. In April, he announced a 200‑pound loss during a live show and said he plans to keep shedding weight. “I’m gonna lose another 100 pounds and go skydiving with my wife in Sweden, baby!” he joked on the “Big Night Aht” live show. The artist also shared his dreams of doing high‑altitude sports—bungee jumping, parasailing, roller coasters—after re‑emerging from a life of obesity that began in childhood.
The country singer first revealed in 2018 that he had once weighed over 500 pounds. He described a turning point in 2016 when he began fighting to save his life. The story became very personal when he admitted in a later Instagram post that he had started gaining weight again, but he vowed that his health journey would continue.
In February 2023, Jelly Roll posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he was “doing [his] part” by working out daily, praying, meditating, and eating better. The singer’s dedication stayed visible when he signed up to run a 5‑K in May 2024—a 3.1‑mile course he completed despite saying he couldn’t walk a mile at the start of January. After the race, he told “Entertainment Tonight” that he could now finish the distance, and his body reflected the effort.
With every show in Australia, fans can’t help but notice the transformation. In October, the artist shared he had lost another 100 pounds and hinted that either the people or his reputation would change by 2025. His projected 200‑pound loss in the coming months promises to continue the story of a star reinvigorating both his music and his health.
Jelly Roll’s journey, highlighted by a dramatic 200‑pound weight loss and an upcoming series of concerts in Australia, captures the determination of an artist who turned a once‑unrecognizable life into a vibrant performance of resilience and renewal.
