Carly Pearce openly admires Jelly Roll in a new social media post, saying, “I have never met someone with more of a purpose.”

Jelly Roll has undeniably formed a dedicated fan base and among those avid admirers is none other than country music artist Carly Pearce

The “What He Didn’t Do” singer recently shared a picture of herself embracing the reigning CMA New Male Artist of the Year winner on stage, accompanied by a sincere caption expressing her admiration for him.

“I. Am. Not. Okay. Yall….I have played so many shows over the last 7 years, but none like tonight. This human is obviously taking country music by storm, but to know him is to love him. I have never met someone with more of a purpose than you Jelly Roll.”

2023 Has Been Jelly Roll’s Year

Jelly Roll certainly has made a name for himself as one of the country music industry’s fastest-rising megastars. From winning three CMT Music Awards, four People’s Choice Country Awards, and the CMA Award for New Artist of the Year, Jelly has undoubtedly proved to be a force to be reckoned with.

He even received two Grammy Award nominations for 2024 — one for Best New Artist and one for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.

Pearce continued in her post about Jelly, “I feel inspired by the power of music and by the power of the underdog. Unbelievably proud of what Jelly is doing & feel so honored to have witnessed the impact tonight. If you ever need your next duet partner, CALL ME 😍❤️”

Pearce May Be Manifesting A Duet With Jelly

Some of Pearce’s Instagram followers embraced the idea of a collaboration between herself and Jelly Roll, and if that happens, it won’t be the first one! Pearce also manifested a duet with another powerhouse artist last year.

She tweeted in April 2022 to Chris Stapleton, hoping to be his next duet partner. Earlier this year, she revealed that the fellow Kentucky-born singer/songwriter joined her on her heartache duet, “We Don’t Fight Anymore,” which was co-written by Pearce.

Here’s to hoping for a Carly Pearce and Jelly Roll duet in the near future!
