Bunnie XO was given an adorable pig at the ACM Awards, because of course she was.

Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie, are avid animal lovers. Back at home, they have a whole ranch just for their furry farm friends, which includes pigs, donkeys, and cows. The firm fan-favorite is Crunch the cow, the overgrown lap puppy who's smitten with his mom.
However, the past couple of weeks, Bunnie XO has been away from home. And in turn, away from her animals. As she has got used to spending every day with her farm animals, being away for so long must be pretty challenging.
So I'm sure it came as sweet relief to see a farm animal when she went to the ACM Awards. The last place you'd guess a farm animal to be.
Jessie Murph decided to bring her teacup-pig Wilbur to the ACM Awards, because why not? Bunnie and farm creatures are like the north and south sides of a magnet; before long they'll find each other. And that's exactly what happens.
Trust Bunnie XO to find the only pig in the joint.
Both Bunnie and Jelly Roll bumped into Jessie Murph, who let the country couple hold and cuddle Wilbur. Bunnie XO grabbed a video of the moment and shared it to her TikTok. They both had a go at hugging the pig.
Even Jelly Roll Posted About Wilbur The Pig
Jelly Roll was super active on X the entire night. He kept posting about how much he was enjoying himself, what he was up to, and who he was with.
At one point in the night, even he posted, "Jessie Murph just tried to give a pig to me and my wife on the carpet."
CMT responded with a photo of Jelly Roll, Bunnie XO, and Jessie Murph together on the carpet holding the pig. It's honestly a brilliant photo.
Many fans did bring up objections to bringing Wilbur. Concerns arose over the pig being sensitive to the lights and noise, and people were worried the event would be too much for Wilbur. I'm no pig expert, but Wilbur didn't look as though he was in serious distress, and I wouldn't reckon Jessie Murph would knowingly put Wilbur into a position of distress.
Or, at the very least, I hope both above points are true.
