Jelly Roll stuns fans in Australia after revealing his jaw-dropping 200-pound weight loss transformation.NN
Jelly Roll flaunted his transformative 200-pound weight loss while arriving in Australia for his Down Under Tour.
The slimmed-down “Save Me” crooner was photographed walking with a backpack through the Sydney Airport on Tuesday.
He sported a black hoodie and pants, accessorizing with a blue and gray Tennessee Titans hat.
Jelly Roll — born Jason Bradley Deford — will spend the next few weeks in Australia, performing nine shows from Oct. 24 to Nov. 6.
The country singer, meanwhile, looked nearly unrecognizable after sharing in April that he had dropped from 540 pounds to 357 pounds since publicly re-embarking on his fitness journey in late 2022.
“I’m gonna lose another 100 pounds and go skydiving with my wife in Sweden, baby!” he said on the “Big Night Aht” live show at the time.
Jelly Roll, 40, later celebrated his victory via Instagram in September, captioning a photo of himself, “I can fit in Louis Vuitton now. Pray for my bank account.”
The “Son of a Sinner” singer, however, has been back and forth with his weight-loss progress, and first opened up about his health pursuit in 2018, revealing that he once weighed over 500 pounds in 2015.
In a vulnerable Instagram post, he explained he had lost roughly 200 pounds when he “started fighting to save [his] own life” in 2016.

“I’ve been obese since I was a small child,” he wrote online alongside a photo of himself. “All I’ve ever known was being fat, and I’m f–king miserable.”
Jelly Roll shared that he wanted to be able to “sky dive, bungee jump, ride a bull, parasail, ride roller coasters, [and] … LIVE a normal life.”
At the time, he also candidly admitted to having started gaining the weight back.
Then in 2022, the Grammy nominee once again kick-started his fitness journey, detailing in Feburary 2023 how he was “doing [his] part” by “working out daily… praying and meditating … eating better – losing weight.”
A part of Jelly Roll’s journey was signing up to run a 5K (3.1 miles) in May 2024.
“I couldn’t walk a mile when I started trying to do this back in January,” he told “Entertainment Tonight” after finishing the race.
That October, the Grammy nominee shared he was down 100 pounds and pledged fans wouldn’t recognize him by 2025.
