At a recent concert, country star Jelly Roll made a plea to his hometown Nashville crowd.

People reports that Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, told audiences at the Bridgestone Arena on May 30 that he wouldn’t be able to return to perform in Nashville again until 2027.

But the “Need A Favor” singer said he had his sights on a lofty goal when he did return. And he would need their help to pull it off.

“I shouldn’t say this, I’m gonna get in trouble. But I gotta say it out loud,” he said. “I want to be the first act to play Nissan Stadium, when it opens in the spring of 2027.”

The stadium, when completed, will be home to the Tennessee Titans NFL team. And in his pitch to his fans, Jelly roll said he was an “[expletive] life-long Titans fan,” and begged that they would “please let the local boy live a dream and open up the new stadium.”

“Let me be the first to play it, baby!” he asked. “Let the local boy do it, baby!”

The musician apologized, but said that “I gotta speak it into existence.”

“If all of y’all brought a friend, we could do it,” he told the crowd. “If you brought a friend, we could do it!”

Jelly Roll recently performed with Post Malone in Hershey, as part of the Big Ass Stadium Tour.
