When Jelly Roll ascended to country music prominence in 2023, he took wife Bunnie Xo with him. Alyssa DeFord was already successful in her own right as a model, podcast host, and entrepreneur. Together, the pair are building an empire, even looking to possibly purchase a 1,000-acre farm. And the Dumb Blonde podcast host, 44, recently revealed that she will join her husband for Nashville’s biggest New Year’s Eve party.
Bunnie Xo Will Be Backstage At Nashville’s Big Bash
Jelly Roll is set to headline CBS’ New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash alongside Kane Brown, Keith Urban, Shaboozey, and Brittney Spencer. Music City officials expect that more than 200,000 people will flood Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park to ring in 2025.
Bunnie Xo will also make an appearance. The model and entrepreneur revealed on social media Saturday (Dec. 28) that she is a special backstage correspondent for CMT again this year.
“Catch me everywhere doing interviews w/ your fave star,” Bunnie wrote, adding, “NYE is going to be blast, hope you all tune in.”
Country star Lainey Wilson sent her congratulations with a string of heart and fire emojis.
The event proved to be a ratings bonanza last year, with more than 8 million viewers tuning in. It was the most-watched country music program of the year, doubling its audience from 2022.
Watch Bunnie “Get Low” With Luke Bryan
It’s no secret that Luke Bryan likes to shake what his momma gave him. He even has a whole song, “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)” that sees him practicing what he preaches. So when Bunnie Xo asked the American Idol judge what song was on his New Year’s Eve playlist, Bryan’s answer hardly came as a surprise.
“Get Low” by Lil Jon shares “Country Girl’s” subject matter. It’s all about letting loose and shaking those hips—which is exactly what Luke Bryan and Bunnie Xo did.
“The best party song of our time,” Bryan declared.
“You can get crunk with that, too,” Bunnie said. And then they did.
Tune in to CBS at 7 p.m. Central on Tuesday (Dec. 31) to watch Nashville’s Big Bash.
