Jelly Roll’s private plane was forced to make an emergency landing Friday in Los Angeles as the singer headed to Austin, TX for the 2024 CMT Awards.
Jelly Roll told E!News on the red carpet: ‘What happened was the screen cut out. The pilot said, ‘I’m not even risking this.’ He had to manually fly the plane back. He had to fly again like in the 60s. He was shocked.
‘It was incredible. We are blessed.’
The singer, who recently underwent transformative dental work, was leaving Los Angeles for Sunday’s awards ceremony when his private plane was forced to turn around.
Bunnie XO documented the ordeal on social media and revealed to their followers that they were experiencing some technical issues mid-flight.
On TikTok he shared a video of the captain explaining the situation to them with the caption: “Our plane we were on stopped in the air and turned for an emergency landing.”
While waiting for everything to clear up in the airport lounge, the YouTube star asked her husband, “Hey, dad, what’s going on?”
The Tennessee native responded: ‘Oh! The plane just turned around. They turned the plane around. They said it’s a problem with the computer.
“And they want us to do it again,” he said, before Jelly Roll joked “at least it wasn’t the brakes.”
It is not known how long it took for the plane to take off, but the influencer shared a video of the second attempt, while they were taxiing on the runway.
‘Alright, LA, let’s try this again, Austin, here we go!’ she wrote about the video.
Lainey Wilson, Kelsea Ballerini, Megan Moroney, Jelly Roll and Cody Johnson top the list, each earning three nominations.
Trisha Yearwood will receive the first June Carter Cash Humanitarian Award.
This year’s edition will be hosted once again by country icon Kelsea Ballerini, who hosted the last three ceremonies. This year, however, will be the first time she will do the honors alone.
Ballerini, who normally introduces Kane Brown, said People: “It’s definitely new territory for me.”
‘But it’s my fourth year hosting, so I feel like I’ve learned a lot. And the nice thing about CMT is that there’s a very light energy, so there’s no pressure to feel like I’m perfect.
“I just want to be fun, honor the night and help people have a good time.”
In addition to hosting, Kelsea has been named as one of the night’s performers. Jason Aldean, Dasha, Trisha Yearwood, Sam Hunt and more will also take the stage.
