The 2025 Hot 99.5 Jingle Ball lit up Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., last night, bringing together a genre-spanning lineup — and delivering one standout collaboration fans won’t soon forget.

Two of the evening’s performers, Alex Warrn and Jelly Roll, joined forces onstage for a live performance of their song “Bloodline,” drawing one of the biggest crowd reactions of the night.

A Surprise Collaboration Moment

Although both artists performed separate sets, Jelly Roll made a special appearance at the start of Warren’s stage time, where the pair launched into “Bloodline” together. The collaboration added a powerful emotional moment to the show, blending Warren’s melodic pop sensibility with Jelly Roll’s gritty, soul-baring delivery.

“Bloodline” appears on Warren’s 2025 album You’ll Be Alright, Kid, and the song has become a regular feature in Jelly Roll’s recent live setlists — making the Jingle Ball performance a natural but highly anticipated crossover moment.

A Hit-Filled Night at Capital One Arena

Following the collaboration, Warren wrapped up his Jingle Ball appearance with his breakout hit “Ordinary,” which continues to dominate fan playlists and live crowds alike.

The Washington, D.C. stop of Hot 99.5’s annual Jingle Ball series featured an eclectic lineup reflecting the event’s broad musical reach. In addition to Warren and Jelly Roll, performers included:

• Olivia Dean

• Zara Larsson

• Conan Gray

• Laufey

• Nelly

• Shinedown

• AJR

• MONSTA X

• Myles Smith

The mix of pop, rock, hip-hop, and international acts kept energy high throughout the night, with fans packed into the arena for one of the city’s biggest live music events of the year.

“Bloodline” Continues to Gain Momentum

Since its release, “Bloodline” has stood out as one of the most emotionally resonant tracks on You’ll Be Alright, Kid, earning praise for its raw honesty and cross-genre appeal. Jelly Roll’s involvement has helped the song reach new audiences, further strengthening Warren’s rise as a compelling new voice in pop.

The live pairing at Jingle Ball underscored the song’s impact — and highlighted the chemistry between the two artists.

As the Jingle Ball tour continues across major cities, the D.C. performance will be remembered as one of its most memorable moments — proof that collaboration remains one of live music’s most powerful forces.
