Jelly Roll and Keith Urban Bring the House Down at the CMAs with Explosive ‘Liar’ Performance!
|On a night packed with unforgettable performances, one moment stole the spotlight — when Jelly Roll and Keith Urban surprised the crowd at the 2024 CMA Awards with a powerful duet of “Liar.”
Announced just hours before the show, the buzz was instant — and when the lights hit the stage at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, the crowd held its breath. What followed was nothing short of breathtaking. Jelly Roll’s raw, emotional vocals mixed perfectly with Keith Urban’s signature smooth harmonies and blazing guitar, turning the song into something more than a performance — it was a moment of truth, shared on one of country music’s biggest stages.
The connection between these two artists was electric. As the camera panned across the audience, jaws dropped and eyes filled with tears. It wasn’t just about music — it was about two artists living their truth and pouring their hearts out for the world to see.

This powerful moment wasn’t the first time Jelly Roll and Keith Urban joined forces. Earlier in 2024, they teamed up on “Don’t Want To,” a deeply personal track from Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken album. The song speaks to the battles of addiction, temptation, and emotional pain — with lyrics so honest they hit you right in the heart.
Lines like “Don’t mean I don’t want to” hit home for anyone who’s ever fought to change but struggled along the way. Their voices blend like two old friends having a heart-to-heart — more conversation than song, more truth than performance.

And Jelly Roll didn’t stop there. When he performed “I Am Not Okay” at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, he stood on stage, vulnerable and unfiltered. With a full band behind him and the spotlight solely on his words, he sang:
“I know I can’t be the only one who’s holding on for dear life…”
It was raw. It was honest. And it was unforgettable.
Jelly Roll continues to prove that music isn’t just about topping charts — it’s about connection, healing, and telling the stories that so many are afraid to say out loud. Whether teaming up with legends like Keith Urban or standing alone under the lights, he reminds us that real music doesn’t need fancy effects — just heart.
