Why Jelly Roll surprised a fan by buying her a new car

Jelly Roll is country music's most fascinating character. His life has taken dozens of wild twists and turns, and he's been honest about all of it.

While playing a show in Canada last week, he heard the story of a fan who was down on her luck, but beat the odds to come out on the other side.

So, he gave her a new car to brighten her spirits even more.

As a former drug-addicted unhoused person, Michelle Boissoneault of London, Ontario is now an advocate for other people who are in the same hard position she once was. Jelly Roll has also stepped up for addicts since becoming a famous entertainer. He heard about how hard Boissoneault works to help people who are in a bad situation.

Boissoneault thought she was getting tickets to the show and to meet the country star due to her dedication to her community, which she did, but it turned out to be way more.

Boissoneault starts crying and she can't believe this is happening to her. Little does she know that Jelly had even more in store for her when she arrived at the venue that night.

The video jumps to him greeting her with a big smile, a hug and another note. This one is reminiscent of his 2023 CMA Awards New Artist of the Year acceptance speech. It reads:

"The windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror for a reason, because what's in front of you is so much more important than what's behind you. Put on this blindfold."

She's escorted to the parking lot by Jelly, who tells her, "Yours is the type of story that I write songs about."

Once the blindfold is removed, she sees the star is holding up a car key. He says, "don't make me cry," as he hands her the keys to a brand new car.
