Country singer Jelly Roll revealed a new look to his fans and followers on November 21. He uploaded a YouTube vlog and at one point admitted he doesn't know what he "looks like" without his beard. He explained that he always had his beard to cover his "double chin". However, as a surprise to his family, he decided to "shave his face." He noted that his 16-year-old daughter, Bailee Ann, would be seeing him for the "first time ever" without a beard.

Watch at timestamp: 11:35 on the YouTube vlog titled, 'How I REALLY feel about the Grammys' when Jelly Roll surprises his daughter with the new look. Unlike his wife, Bunnie XO's positive reaction towards his clean-shaven look, Bailee appeared to have a hilarious one and asked him to speak from a distance. Shocked by her father's new look, she said with tears in her eyes,

"Oh my God, I'm going to cry. I don't like this. You look like a turtle. I don't like this. Oh my God. I don't know if I'm laughing or if this is ..."

Jelly Roll features new look and talks about the Grammys nominations

Jelly Roll debuted a clean-shaven look after acknowledging that he had covered his face for years due to his "double chin". US Weekly reported that the singer has been candid in sharing about his 200-pound weight loss journey. Following the weight loss, Jelly told his fans that he wants to look like without the beard covering his face. While his daughter was shocked by his new look, his fans were reportedly left in awe of his commitment to becoming healthier.

Jelly Roll resumed speaking in his vlog (timestamp: 12:00) about his new look and noted,

"By now, you have probably figured out that I look like a Ninja Turtle. Um, yeah, this was crazy. You know, one of the reasons I even started growing a beard was cause I was so obese. It was just easier to cover up what was happening here, you know."

Jelly Roll had previously opened up on 'On Purpose With Jay Shetty' in October about his weight loss journey. He told Jay,

"I was so insecure in my body for so many years that I found validation through women."

Over time, he has worked to have a "normal" life and get into his best shape, mentally and physically. In his vlog, he also opened up about being nominated for the Grammys and expressed gratitude towards God. He told his followers,

"“When I look at these nominations, all I see is God. I want to cry. Wow, country album of the year. It’s not even about the album or the nom. It’s about the name.”

He ended the vlog with,

"Win, lose, or draw, holy f**k, dude, we won. I know a lot of artists give the Grammys a lot of shit, but the truth is I feel honored… Y’all make fun of me now and leave comments about my double chin.”

Jelly Roll's new shaved look seemed to represent a new chapter in his life. While his daughter, Bailee, was shocked to see her father without his OG beard, he emphasised that the beard can go away since he doesn't have to hide his face anymore.
