Jelly Roll Moved to Tears by Kelly Clarkson’s Cover of “Save Me”
Jelly Roll was deeply touched when Kelly Clarkson performed his emotional song “Save Me” on her show, calling it a humbling experience that brought him to tears. The song, a raw reflection of his struggles with addiction and redemption, was written during the pandemic as a personal “cry for help.”
Known for blending rap, country, and rock, Jelly Roll—real name Jason DeFord—has built a reputation for honest songwriting. “Save Me” became one of his most powerful tracks, later turned into a duet with Lainey Wilson and even sampled by Eminem.
