Jelly roll made sure to make an appearance at the 2024 ACM Awards on Thursday (May 16) when he treated the crowd at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, to a brand new song.
Taking to the stage bathed in red light, Jelly performed his unreleased new song 'Liar', a rousing rock track in which the star calls out every evil that tempts his way. “Sayin' drink another whiskey/ Pop another pill,” Roll sang, dressed in an all-black leather ensemble. “Money makes you happy/Heaven ain't real.”
When it came time for the song's bombastic chorus, Roll had the Ford Center crowd singing along almost immediately. “You're nothing but a liar/ Yeah, I'm coming right out of the fire,” he crooned. “Yeah, you tryin' to keep me down/ Tryin' to put me underground/ I know we're going higher.” Before leaving the stage, the singer made sure to clarify the meaning of the song, declaring: “The devil is a liar!”
Jelly Roll wasn't just at the ceremony to debut his new song. The fast-rising star was nominated for his first trophies at the night's ceremony, scoring nominations in categories including Artist of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Single of the Year (for his track “Need a Favor”) and Music Event of the Year (for his song “Save Me” with Lainey Wilson).
The “Liar” singer was also far from the only performer at Thursday's event. The 2024 ACMs, hosted by country icon Reba McEntire and produced by Dick Clark Productions, featured numbers from Lainey Wilson, Kelsea Ballerini, Noah Kahan, Kane Brown, Post Malone, Avril Lavigne and more.
