Jelly Roll is simply sharing the love — a humble country star paying tribute to one of pop's biggest hits by putting his signature gritty rock spin on it for fans in Music City.
But let's call a spade a spade: Jelly Roll has now covered this song at least twice in major settings. Some insiders are whispering that he's borderline obsessed with Miley Cyrus' breakup anthem, especially given the track's themes of self-love after heartbreak.
Jelly Roll performed 'Flowers' at Spotify House at Ole Red in Nashville on June 4, 2026 — his second known public performance of the song. He previously covered it as part of a medley at Stagecoach's Mane Stage on April 26, 2025, after warming up backstage with wife Bunnie XO.
Whether it's artistic admiration or something deeper driving Jelly Roll back to 'Flowers' again and again, one thing's clear: Miley Cyrus' Grammy-winning anthem has found its unlikely country champion.
Jelly Roll just will not let go of 'Flowers.' The Nashville-based country superstar fired up his latest cover of Miley Cyrus' Grammy-winning ballad during a Spotify House show at Ole Red on Thursday night (June 4), delivering what sources describe as a revved-up, full band version that gave the pop hit a gritty rock makeover. The performance marked the second time in just over a year that Jelly Roll has taken on the song that's earned Cyrus her first-ever Grammy hardware — for best pop solo performance and record of the year at the 2024 ceremony.
Let's talk about what's actually happening here, because there's a pattern starting to emerge. Last April, during his day-two headlining set at Stagecoach's Mane Stage, Jelly Roll included 'Flowers' as part of an elaborate medley that also featured bits of Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Sweet Home Alabama,' Nickelback's 'How You Remind Me,' and — get this — 2Pac and Dr. Dre's 'California Love.' Prior to that festival performance, sources say he warmed up by duetting on the track backstage with his wife, podcaster and author Bunnie XO.
Now here we are, roughly fourteen months later, and he's back at it again in Nashville with a full band treatment of Cyrus' chart-topping anthem. 'Flowers' earned Cyrus her first-ever Grammy wins when it dominated the 2024 awards circuit, and apparently it's also dominating Jelly Roll's setlist rotation. The man is clearly fascinated by this song — whether that's artistic admiration or something more specific to its lyrics about self-love and independence after a breakup remains open to interpretation.
The Spotify House event at Ole Red featured an impressive lineup including Ashley McBryde, Cody Johnson, Corey Kent, Emily Ann Roberts, Jon Pardi, Kameron Marlowe, Koe Wetzel, Laci Kye Booth, Old Dominion, Two Friends, and Zach John King across its three-day run. Friday's show was set to feature the Brothers Osborne, Carly Pearce, Diplo, ERNEST, and Keith Urban, while Saturday will spotlight Carter Faith, Cole Swindell, Dan + Shay, Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Shaboozey, The Band Perry, and more.
Jelly Roll is currently on the road with his Little Ass Shed Tour featuring Kashus Culpepper and Jay Webb, with Friday night's stop scheduled at BankPlus Amphitheater at Snowden in Southaven, Mississippi. But before he hits that stage, we're left wondering — will 'Flowers' make another appearance? At this point, it would be more surprising if it didn't.
