Watch Jelly Roll spontaneously give newlyweds concertgoers $10,000 for their honeymoon

At this point, anyone who doesn't love Jelly Roll (aka Jason DeFord) should take a look within. The tattooed-face rapper turned country star has repeatedly demonstrated a generosity that matches his enormous talent. His next album is due out next month, and he's already pledged to donate 100 percent of the proceeds to charity. Recently, a newlywed couple in Louisiana were affected by the “Liar” singer's philanthropic nature.

Jelly Roll celebrates the newlywed couple in style: “I knew love was in the air, baby”

On Friday, September 13, Aidan and Anna Sanders decided to elope in Lafayette, Louisiana. To celebrate their freshly married wedding, the couple attended Jelly Roll's concert at the Cajundome.

As the GRAMMY nominee walked into the crowd during his performance of “Son of a Sinner,” a “Just Married” sign caught his eye.

“Y'all got married today?” asked the Antioch, Tennessee, native. “Can we point the camera at these people? That's fucking awesome.”

As the camera panned to the excited couple, Jelly had one more question. “Have you thought about where you want to go for your honeymoon?” he asked.

The couple replied that they didn't know yet. Then Jelly Roll surprised the crowd with his answer.

“I'll tell you what, I'll give you $10,000 to take home,” said the “Need a Favor” hitmaker.

Amid loud cheers from the crowd, Jelly Roll announced, “I knew love was in the air, baby! I can feel the Cajundome rocking!”

Aidan Sanders probably had to pinch himself when he documented “the surprise of his life” on Facebook.

“Jelly Roll saw our wedding reception and gave us $10,000 for our honeymoon!” he wrote. “We are over the moon and so happy to be on this journey together.”

“That’s exactly why I love this man”

Jelly Roll's incredibly generous nature is nothing new, but that doesn't make it any less incredible to witness. Fans praised the “Save Me” star as video footage of his latest philanthropic endeavor made the rounds on social media.

“This is exactly why I love this man,” wrote one TikTok user.

Under Aidan Sanders' Facebook post, one user wrote: “This is so AWESOME!!!!! Jelly Roll is amazing!!!!”
