Jelly Roll just hit the red carpet of a special event, showing off his slimmed-down figureāand fans can barely recognize him after his major weight loss.
Ahead of Music's Biggest Night, the country crooner attended the 68th Grammy Awards Pre-Grammy Gala at The Beverly Hilton on Saturday, Jan. 31, in Beverly Hills, Calif., rocking a suave new look that had his longtime supporters doing a double take.
In photos from the event, the "Wild Ones" singer looked like a completely transformed man from head to toe, dressed for the occasion in an all-black ensemble comprising a velour blazer worn over a plain tee, paired with black denim and matching cowboy boots tucked under his jeans. He accessorized with a glitzy chain and a bracelet on each wrist.
The 41-year-old's wife, Bunnie XO, accompanied the music star for the outing, with the Dumb Blonde podcaster opting for a sleeveless metallic, pewter-colored body-hugging mermaid style dress featuring a high neck.

I mean, Iām coaching my sonās basketball team this year⦠I just feel physically better, and I feel like I can physically do it,ā he told Extra earlier this month.
