As award shows come and go, Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO prove time and time again that they are as cool as can be, and the 2024 CMT Music Awards are no exception.

Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO — with the former known for his country music career and the latter known as the host of The Dumb Blonde Podcast — always seem to coordinate their red carpet ensembles perfectly, and this time around, both individuals opted for neutral looks in order to let their natural beauty shine.

Rocking streetwear on the red carpet, in true Jelly Roll fashion, the “Need A Favor” singer stepped out in an oversized black tee shirt with some black track pants to match. To tie the look together, Jelly Roll accessorized with some Air Jordan sneakers, a long diamond cross necklace, and a color blocked leather bomber jacket that brought out some of the nude and brown hues featured throughout his wife’s dress.

Bunnie XO looked oh-so elegant in a floor-length dress with a lengthy train, featuring long sleeves and a deep v-neck, as well as a black square pattern down the entirety of the dress to spice it up. Accessorizing with some dainty silver necklaces, glowy makeup, and bleach blonde hair pulled into a half-up hairstyle, Bunnie XO looked classy on the red carpet of the 2024 CMT Music Awards, all while letting her sassy side shine.

Is Jelly Roll Nominated at the CMT Awards?

Jelly Roll — along with Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, Kelsea Ballerini and Megan Moroney — leads the nominations for the 2024 CMT Music Awards with three: Video of the Year, Male Video of the Year, and CMT Performance of the Year, all for his smash hit “Need A Favor.”

The nominees for Video of the Year — the most coveted category at the CMT Awards — have been narrowed down from 16 to just three, and it looks like Jelly Roll’s “Need a Favor,” Cody Johnson’s “The Painter” and Kelsea Ballerini’s “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too)” are the final contenders. Despite taking home CMT Awards in the past, all three artists are each vying for their first-ever Video of the Year trophy.

With Jelly Roll taking home three trophies at the 2023 CMT Music Awards — becoming the winningest artist of the evening — will history repeat itself tonight? Country music fans will need to tune into CBS or Paramount+ at 8/7 CT to find out for themselves.
