Jelly Roll is headed to "American Idol" as the show's first-ever Artist in Residence. In his new capacity, the "Save Me" hitmaker will be a "permanent fixture this season," working closely with this year's "American Idol" hopefuls to give "firsthand advice on how to navigate the journey," according to a representative for ABC.

Two of the busiest men in showbiz are back together and loving it! Jelly Roll picked up Ryan Seacrest and twirled him around in the air to celebrate becoming American Idol's first Artist in Residence.

Jelly Roll is stepping into a new Jelly role! The Grammy-nominated country superstar is set to appear on the 23rd season of American Idol, as the show’s first-ever “artist in residence,” according to Variety.

Jelly Roll returned to the Idol set for the Season 22 finale. He performed with Oliver Steele, who had been eliminated earlier in the season, singing his hit "Need a Favor." He was also joined on stage by Lainey Wilson as the two delivered their No. 1 duet "Save Me."

Country superstar Jelly Roll will mentor contestants starting during Hollywood Week. “Honored to be Idol’s first-ever Artist in Residence - mentoring with heart, soul and real experience,” Jelly said on social media.

American Idol viewers will see a few changes when the show returns next month. Katy Perry exited last season, and while some hoped Jelly Roll would be sitting at the judges’ table, that isn’t the case.
