Key Takeaway
Wynonna Judd’s performance at the Country Music Awards has raised concerns among fans about her health and stability. Despite speculation, Judd herself attributes her apparent struggle to nerves and assures her supporters that she will continue with her shows.
Judd took the stage with Jelly Roll to perform his song “Need A Favor” at the 2023 CMA Awards in Nashville. At one point during the performance, she walked over to Jelly Roll and held onto his arm, giving the impression that she needed assistance to stay on her feet. The exact reason for her apparent instability remains uncertain, leaving fans worried.
Concerned viewers took to social media to express their unease after witnessing Judd’s seemingly unsteady performance. Given that Judd tragically lost her mother, Naomi, to suicide in 2022, fans are understandably anxious about her well-being. One fan on Twitter noted, “She could barely walk. She took baby steps,” while another expressed concern, tweeting, “Am I the only one concerned for @Wynonna?”
Another observer commented, “Something is wrong with her. Hope she is okay. Wynonna Judd is holding on to Jelly Roll for dear life #CMAawards,” while a fourth fan described the situation as “seriously bizarre,” noting that Judd barely moved once she grasped tightly onto Jelly Roll.
However, Judd has since responded to the concerns and criticism from her fans. In a video posted online, she attributed her performance to nerves, explaining that she wanted to give her best for Jelly Roll. Judd assured her supporters that she will be back on the road, with a show scheduled for Thursday night.
Amidst the worries surrounding Judd’s performance, there was some positive news from the CMA Awards. Jelly Roll, her duet partner, won the prestigious “Best New Artist” award. Congratulations to Jelly Roll on his well-deserved win!
As fans await further updates on Judd’s condition, they continue to show their support and hope for her well-being. Judd’s candor in addressing the concerns has provided some reassurance, but her supporters will undoubtedly keep a close eye on her future performances.
