Jelly Roll Admits 'I Only Wear Socks Once': 'It's the Most Frivolous Thing I've Done'

Who would’ve thought Jelly Roll’s most “frivolous habit” would involve socks?

The two-time Grammy-nominated country singer, 39, let fans in on one of his biggest secrets while speaking to Audacy’s Sabrina from Queens ahead of the 59th annual ACM Awards last week. 

"Can I tell you a frivolous habit I have?" the “Save Me” artist said. "Don't judge me for this, y'all. I promise I grew up very humble, but I only wear socks once."

The "Wild Ones" singer admitted he buys his socks "in bulk" to avoid re-wearing them, saying, "It's the most frivolous thing I've done with my success."

"I'm sorry, I hope I didn't let nobody down with that," he added, "but when you're fat, you can't have stinky feet too, so you gotta have fresh socks!"

Amidst his recent success, Jelly has been committed to his health journey and focused on improving his physical fitness. Last month, the music star told PEOPLE, “I'm probably down 70-something pounds,” just ahead of his participation in the 2 Bears 5K with Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. He finished the 5K on May 7 with his wife, Bunnie Xo, by his side, cheering him on. 

“What a beautiful day w/ beautiful ppl! So proud of my baby doing the 5k & losing 50 lbs to do it! 💫,” she captioned an Instagram post, which included a PDA-filled video of the couple smooching in a cold plunge tub.

Reflecting more on his fitness progress with PEOPLE, Jelly shared, "I've been really kicking ass, man. I'm doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week. I'm doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I'm eating healthy right now."

"I feel really good," he added of his lifestyle change. "I was thinking, I plan on losing another 100, 100-and-something [pounds]. If I feel this good down this weight, man, I can only imagine what I'm going to feel like by the time I go on tour."

Jelly begins his Beautifully Broken tour later this summer, stopping in 37 cities across the U.S. His tour run — where he’ll be joined by musicians Warren Zeiders and Alexandra Kay — kicks off in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Aug. 27 and wraps up exactly two months later in Charlotte, NC. 

At this year’s ACM Awards, Jelly was nominated in four categories — including entertainer of the year — and also performed at the ceremony, which took place on May 16, in Frisco, Texas. Reacting to his first-ever nominations, the country singer told PEOPLE, "It's just f---ing unbelievable.” 

"I spent my whole life just thinking that what I was doing would never be heard or seen," he added. "I almost gave up on any dream of this thing ever being like it is now, and man, is it just incredible to be in the middle of it. I'm grateful." 

Jelly Roll ended up taking home music event of the year for "Save Me" with pal Lainey Wilson.
