Jelly Roll appeared on the Bussin' with the Boys podcast recently and shared his thoughts on what would be the ultimate Super Bowl halftime show.

Jelly told the boys, "You know what my dream would be? When it comes to Nashville, they do a country music Super Bowl."

He continued, "And it’s not even about an artist. Like, it cuts to Garth [Brooks] on one stage, and he’s doing ‘Friends [in Low Places],’ then it cuts to Reba [McEntire] and then Lainey [Wilson] and then me and then Morgan [Wallen]."

Jelly noted the production would be about "18 minutes" in total — a bit longer than most halftime shows.

The Super Bowl halftime show did full country music only once in 1994, and it featured Clint Black, Tanya Tucker, Travis Tritt, and the Judds. Shania Twain also performed as part of the 2003 Super Bowl halftime show.

Many country artists have performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Super Bowl over the years, including Brooks, McEntire, Charley Pride, Chris Stapleton, and Mickey Guyton.

The podcast shared the moment on Instagram. See that post here.

Jelly paid a visit to his Nashville High School, Antioch High, recently after a school shooting there in January.

On a mission to comfort the students, Jelly visited Tennessee's Antioch High School to meet with students on February 25, over one month after a student shot two classmates before turning the gun on himself, resulting in two deaths and two additional injuries, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department.

Metro Nashville Public Schools shared photos from Jelly's visit in a February 26 post on Instagram. They captioned the post of him posing with students, "Music superstar @jellyroll615 visited @antiochbearshome on Tuesday to talk to students and staff about the tragedy that took place there last month."

They added, "Thank you, Jelly Roll, for reaching out to the Antioch community and offering some comfort during a difficult time. We appreciate your support!"
