AceShowbiz - At the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards, held on Thursday, May 16, at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, Jelly Roll (born Jason DeFord) made a memorable appearance.
Bathed in red light, Jelly Roll performed his unreleased new song, "Liar". The rousing rock track featured him calling out temptations and vices. The audience sang along to the chorus, "You ain't nothing but a liar/ Yeah I walk right out that fire."
Jelly Roll was nominated for multiple awards at the ceremony, including Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Single of the Year for "Need a Favor," and Music Event of the Year for "Save Me" with Lainey Wilson.
The 2024 ACMs was hosted by Reba McEntire and featured performances from Lainey Wilson, Kelsea Ballerini, Noah Kahan, Kane Brown, Post Malone, Avril Lavigne and more.
Wilson kicked off the show with a medley including "God Blessed Texas" and "Hang Tight Honey". She later won the award for Female Artist of the Year, becoming the first artist to win both the Record Breaker Award and an ACM in the same year. Wilson thanked her fellow nominees and emphasized the importance of supporting women in country music.
The ACMs was produced by Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a subsidiary of Penske Media Corporation. Penske Media Eldridge, in turn, is the parent company of Billboard.
