When Shopping Becomes a Side-Eye Experience

Jelly Roll, a renowned country music artist, recently shared an incident that left him feeling under suspicion. In a video posted on his social media, he recounted his visit to a Louis Vuitton store in Sydney, Australia, where the staff's behavior made him feel unwelcome.

"Hey, the Louis Vuitton store in Sydney really made us feel like we were about to rob the place."

He continued, highlighting the intense scrutiny he received:

"I’ve never been looked at like a criminal this intensely. The last time I felt this much side-eye, I actually was a criminal."

Despite the awkward encounter, Jelly Roll maintained his sense of humor, laughing off the situation.

Context of the Incident

This event occurred during his Down Under 2025 Tour, with performances scheduled for Thursday and Saturday to conclude his Australian leg.

Reflections on Perception
