Jelly Roll makes appearance at Nashville Predators game vs St. Louis Blues
With 1:39 left in the first period, the Predators' public address announcer announced Jelly Roll was in attendance, watching from the suite level. The singer then stood and gave a thankful "heart" hand-signal to the crowd.
Jelly Roll's appearance came as no surprise — the first 10,000 fans in attendance were given a Jelly Roll bobblehead as part of Nashville's Music City Hockey bobblehead series.
The 40-year-old singer, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, grew up in the Antioch area in Nashville. After starting his music career in 2003, he saw a sharp rise in the music industry in 2022 with his hit single, "Son of a Sinner."
In January, Jelly Roll opened Goodnight Nashville, a five-story honky tonk on Broadway. Located at 209 Broadway between Kid Rock's Big Honky Tonk and Bootleggers, the 27,000 square-foot space is the first Lower Broadway celebrity-owned bar from a Nashville native.

Hulk Hogan's first wife shares throwback post on wrestler's birthday. Take a look
They may have been divorced since 2009, but Linda Hogan's feelings still run deep for Hulk Hogan, who died of a heart attack in his Clearwater, Fla., home on July 24. On Monday, on what would have the wrestling icon's 72nd birthday, his ex-wife shared a sweet tribute on Instagram. 'Me and Hulkster 1981....I love and miss you so much,' said the caption alongside a throwback picture of the two embracing into the reflection of a mirror. Linda (nee Claridge) married the WWE legend (real name Terry Bollea) roughly two years after that snap was taken. They had two kids, Brooke, 37, and Nick, 35, who were also costars of the VH1 reality show 'Hogan Knows Best,' documenting their often wacky lives. Hulk and Linda separated the same year the show was canceled, 2007. Their divorce finalized in 2009. Hulk went on to marry makeup artist Jennifer McDaniel a year later, and split after a little more than a decade. The Real American Beer founder was married to yoga instructor Sky Daily, whom he wed in 2023, at the time of his passing. As for Hogan's relationship with his first wife? Not much was known about their dynamic until a few months ago. In the spring, Linda appeared in a disturbing social media video lifting the lid on the dysfunction in the family. The erstwhile TV matriarch tearfully revealed that she had been estranged from Brooke for years, and that her famous ex was not only a 'liar' and 'sex addict,' but also to blame for not healing the rifts. 'I've given him more opportunities to come back and make up the family,' the 65-year-old sobbed. 'It's been 20 years and I'm still this sad. Somebody please explain that.' After Brooke clapped back at her mom in her own posts, Hulk broke his silence in the form of a video of him jokingly eating popcorn with Daily. Linda obviously wasn't offended by the popular entertainer's lack of sympathy and had obviously forgiven him. After his death, she told her followers that she was 'devastated.' Linda has no hard feelings toward Daily, either. According to UsWeekly they sat in the same row during Hogan's funeral. READ MORE: Hulk Hogan's daughter has questions about his death
