Jelly Roll performed “Lonely Road” with collaboration partner mgk and surprise guest Travis Barker on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday night (September 30).

The reigning iHeartRadio Music Awards Best New Artist award in both Pop and Country categories released “Lonely Road” with Machine Gun Kelly over the summer. The genre-blending duo also premiered a Sam Cahill-directed music video for the collaboration, which was inspired by John Denver’s 1970s classic, “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” The visual featured appearances by the two artists’ significant others, Bunnie Xo and Megan Fox.

“He’s one of the greatest guys, man, and I just love him to death,” Jelly Roll said as he spoke with host Jimmy Fallon before the performance. “We’ve known each other a long time, and we started on rocky roads and made amends. And now we’re just taking over the world together. It’s so fun to do it. Life’s not always about what you do. It’s about who you do it with. And I’m getting to do the coolest thing in life with some of the coolest people, man. It’s awesome.”

Last week, mgk also spoke highly of Jelly Roll when he accepted the Crossover Song of the Year award at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards. The show took place at the legendary Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. He said on the Opry stage, “Jelly, I love you. We went from 10 years ago hating each other to elevating each other. Comparison is the thief of joy. There’s enough room on this couch for everybody. We found camaraderie in the chaos.”

Jelly Roll was unable to attend the People’s Choice Country Awards in person; however, mgk took the stage to deliver a solo rendition of “Lonely Road.” Earlier in the week, he welcomed surprise guest Lainey Wilson to the stage to join him on the duet during a free rooftop performance in Nashville.

Jelly Roll also spoke with Fallon about an epic weekend in New York City — performing a sold-out show ad Madison Square Garden, headlining the Global Citizen Festival, and making his Saturday Night Live debut on the iconic show’s 50th season premiere — how he broke his CMA Award last year, his upcoming album and more. The 2024 CMA nominated artist (including in the Entertainer of the Year category) will release his next full-length album, Beautifully Broken, on October 11. See his upcoming tour dates below.
