It felt like a divine spectacle unfolded during Jelly Roll’s latest show in Philadelphia.
As Jelly Roll kicked off his set with “Hard Fought Hallelujah” while opening for Post Malone at Citizens Bank Park, a stunning double rainbow began to form overhead.
A clip posted to his social media shows Jelly Roll pausing mid-performance to gesture skyward and mouth the words “a rainbow” to the camera.
Initially, the sky featured only a single, vivid arc of color stretching across the horizon.
As he reached the chorus, a second radiant band appeared above the original rainbow, amplifying the moment’s magic.
With the open roof of the stadium, the dazzling hues could be seen clearly from every corner of the ballpark
"God is good, God is good, God is Good," Jelly Roll writes in the caption.
What’s the Meaning Behind Jelly Roll’s Collaboration on “Hard Fought Hallelujah”?
The appearance of a double rainbow during “Hard Fought Hallelujah” carried deep spiritual significance.
In Christianity, a rainbow symbolizes God’s covenant with humanity. According to the Bible, the first rainbow appeared following the great flood, after God preserved Noah and his family while the rest of the world perished.
The story, found in the book of Genesis, explains that God placed the rainbow in the sky as a sign of his promise never to destroy the earth by flood again.
To many Christians, a rainbow serves as a visible reminder of God’s grace and faithfulness.
“Hard Fought Hallelujah” reflects on life’s struggles that can cause individuals to feel disconnected from their faith. The track was originally written by Christian artist Brandon Lake, who invited Jelly Roll to join him on the project.
Upon hearing the song, the country star was deeply moved by its powerful message.
"I haven't had a record touch me like that in so long," Jelly says of the track. "It's been years since I worshipped the way that I worshipped to that song. Because like, I carry my faith with me, but I'm also struggling and very honest and open about that."
"God sends me the record and not only does he want me to listen to it and worship, he wants me to live with it and learn from it," he adds.
The rainbow appeared to serve as a powerful reminder of that truth for the country star.
