Jelly Roll Brings Stadium to Tears With Raw, Unforgettable Performance of “Get By”
LAS VEGAS, July 17, 2025 — When Jelly Roll stepped onto the stage at Allegiant Stadium as part of his Big Ass Stadium Tour, no one could have predicted what would happen in the next four minutes. The air inside the massive arena seemed to tighten, as if everyone — tens of thousands strong — collectively held their breath.
And then, he sang.
The track was “Get By”, a song already deeply personal to both the artist and his fans. But this performance transcended anything heard before. It wasn’t just the music. It was the weight behind every lyric. The slight tremble in his voice. The moments of silence between lines that said more than words ever could.
From the first note, it was clear: this wasn’t a concert moment. This was a reckoning, a confession, and a survival anthem rolled into one.
A Voice That’s Lived Every Word
Jelly Roll didn’t just perform “Get By” — he lived it onstage. One minute, he leaned into the microphone, his voice barely above a whisper, as if he were singing directly to someone teetering on the edge of giving up. The next minute, he was roaring, shaking the rafters with the kind of guttural intensity that only comes from someone who has been to hell and crawled his way back.
People cried. Others stood motionless, hands over their mouths. Many sang along through tears.
“He made us feel every line,” said Taylor Brent, a 27-year-old fan from Phoenix. “I’ve seen him live three times, but nothing… nothing like this. That wasn’t a performance. That was a prayer.”
A Song That Speaks to the Broken
“Get By” has become something of a quiet anthem for those battling demons — addiction, grief, trauma, or just the weight of surviving one more day. The comments across social media are filled with deeply personal testimonies:
“I played this song every day while I detoxed.”
“This song kept me from doing something permanent.”
“He put my pain into lyrics. I felt seen.”
Jelly Roll has always positioned himself as an artist who writes for the underdogs, and with “Get By,” he tapped into a current of pain and resilience that cuts across generations and backgrounds.
“It’s not just music anymore,” one fan posted after the concert. “It’s a lifeline.”
More Than a Tour: A Movement
The LV Big Ass Stadium Tour has been a commercial and critical success, selling out major venues nationwide. But for Jelly Roll, it’s about more than ticket sales. It’s about building community. His shows have been described as “church for the lost,” “therapy sessions,” and “the only place where it feels okay to be broken.”
On stage, he openly discusses his own history — time spent in jail, his battles with mental health, and the ongoing work of being a better father, husband, and human.
“I’m not perfect,” he often tells the crowd. “I just want to make music that helps people keep going.”
That authenticity resonates in an era where vulnerability is still too rare in mainstream music. Jelly Roll doesn’t hide his scars — he puts them on full display and invites others to do the same.
A Moment That Will Be Remembered
As the final note of “Get By” rang out, the stadium didn’t erupt. It paused.
Then, slowly, the crowd began to applaud — not just out of appreciation, but out of shared survival.
For many, that moment felt sacred.
And while countless videos of the performance are now circulating online, those who were there will never forget what it felt like to witness it live: a man on stage, giving every last ounce of what he had, just to help others keep breathing.
The video is in the comments. Watch it when you’re ready.
