Bunnie XO is showing major support for her husband, Jelly Roll, ahead of the 2026 GRAMMYs, set for Sunday, February 1, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. During a recent interview with Derek Hough of Extra TV, she teased her red carpet look for the 68th Annual GRAMMY Awards, shared how the “I Am Not Okay” singer plans to celebrate if he takes home a trophy, and revealed which performances she’s most looking forward to during the show.

The Dumb Blonde Podcast host began by gushing over her husband and all his successes recently, from his 275+ pound weight loss transformation to serving as a judge on Netflix’s Star Search, to scoring three nods at the GRAMMYs and loving himself again.

“I mean, proud doesn’t even… I need to find a new word for proud because I am just, like, glowing. Anything my husband touches, it turns to gold,” she said of her seven-time GRAMMY-nominated husband. “He’s crushing it, and we’re watching this man live his life to the fullest now. He’s lost all that weight, [and] he’s feeling good, [and] he’s fallen in love with himself, and he literally is just having fun.”

Bunnie XO teased her red carpet look, for which she currently has two outfits to choose from: one that pays homage to Britney Spears’ iconic 2001 American Music Awards outfit she wore alongside Justin Timberlake, and another option that is something unlike anything she’s ever worn before.

“I have one that’s like an ode to Britney Spears, her look with Justin Timberlake. And then I have another one that is completely something I’ve never done before. So I don’t know. I won’t know which one I’m going to do until the morning of,” she revealed to Hough during the interview. “The denim. Yeah. Diamonds in denim, you could never go wrong.”

When asked if Jelly Roll will match her, she replied, “I wish. My husband is Johnny Cash, all black, everything all the time. He has denim in his soul. He’s from Nashville.”

Jelly Roll is nominated for three GRAMMYs at this year’s ceremony, including Best Country Album (Beautifully Broken), Best Country Duo/Group Performance (“Amen” with Shaboozey), and Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance (“Hard Fought Hallelujah” with Brandon Lake), and Bunnie XO just revealed how her husband plans to celebrate should he take home a trophy.

“I know that he has rented out a bar, and my husband does not drink anymore, but he said if he wins a GRAMMY, he’s going to go out and party to the fullest. And everybody knows when Jelly Roll drinks, he ends up in a fountain somewhere,” she added, before warning the City of Angels, “So whatever body of water is closest in LA, you will probably find my husband holding his Grammy in that fountain.”

Other than her husband, of course, she said she is excited to see Justin Bieber return to the GRAMMYs. “I mean, he hasn’t performed in forever. So I think a lot of people are actually really looking forward to that because it’s been a long time coming. All the believers out there… I respect his craft, and I think him and his wife are beautiful, like a beautiful couple.”

She also opened up about her upcoming memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, arriving on February 10, 2026, via HarperCollins Publishers. Stripped Down serves as a tell-all about Bunnie XO’s life and everything she’s been through—the good, the bad, and the ugly.

“I’ll say tidbits here and there on the podcast, but nobody’s ever really heard my entire story,” Bunnie XO explained. “So for the past two years we’ve been working on this book, and it is complete chaos, and it’s really the best thing I can compare it to is Unpretty Woman. It is like just so many twists and turns.”

Bunnie XO told Hough that “it was extremely cathartic” writing the book, “but at the same time, so much relief because now I’m like, I can really close every chapter that I’ve written in that book, never have to speak about it again, and just continue building this new life that my husband and I have made for each other.”

The self-made businesswoman will take her memoir from the “pages to the stages” with a four-show book tour kicking off February 16 in New York City, with stops in Nashville (2/22) and Los Angeles (2/25), before wrapping on February 26 in her hometown of Las Vegas.
