Country star Jelly Roll made a striking appearance at the Emmy Awards on Sunday night, revealing a noticeably slimmer physique and a set of brand-new pearly whites.
The 39-year-old singer appeared in high spirits as he walked the red carpet in a sleek black suit, exuding confidence and a fresh new energy.
"I feel great, baby. I'm in the best shape of my life right now," Jelly Roll told People, flashing his bright new smile.
The singer, who has been open about his health journey, credited his transformation to "water and sleep," adding with a chuckle, "I don't look like it. But I am." His slimmed-down look and radiant smile quickly caught the attention of fans.
Jelly Roll recently underwent extensive dental work, including a veneer replacement and wisdom teeth removal. "I've had these same veneers for 20 years," he explained on TikTok, proudly showcasing his new teeth.
"I'm finally getting them replaced, and I'm getting some implants and getting some cavities and wisdom teeth pulled out. I'm doing a lot of s---." The process, which he described as "completely mouth reconstructive surgery kinda," has given him a new lease on life and an undeniable boost in confidence.

The video captures Jelly Roll sitting in the dentist's chair, still under the effects of a sedative. "I'm at the practice, getting all my teeth redone," he said, looking slightly dazed but undeniably content. After the surgery, a groggy but smiling Jelly Roll remarked, "I slept good," as he made his way to the car, throwing up a rock-and-roll hand sign for good measure.
During the video, Bunnie is seen by his side, offering support and encouragement throughout the process. "I'm proud of you," she tells him at one point, capturing a heartwarming moment between the couple.

Jelly Roll has been candid about his reasons for undergoing the dental work, citing childhood insecurities about his smile. "I want a pretty smile," he said. "I had an ugly smile when I was a kid. People picked on me and made fun of me and stuff—haha!"

Back in 2018, Jelly Roll spoke about his past weight struggles on Instagram: "I’ve been obese since I was a small child . All I’ve ever known was being fat , and I’m f-----g miserable. I wanna sky dive , bungee jump, ride a bull, parasail , ride roller coasters, I want to LIVE a normal life and have a normal relationship with food. I fight addictions and alcoholism everyday," he wrote.
