Wynonna Judd Clarifies 'Nervous' CMA Awards Performance That Worried Fans

Country singer Wynonna Judd dismisses health concerns, confirming nerves as the cause of unease during her CMA Awards performance.

Wynonna Judd, a renowned country singer, has gone public to dismiss concerns about her health after a nervous performance at the Country Music Association Awards.
At the 2023 CMA awards, Judd performed a duet with up-and-coming country artist, Jelly Roll, during which she was visibly tense and unsteady, leading fans to speculate about her health on social media.
Judd, previously vocal about her battles with vertigo, assured fans that her seeming unsteadiness was due to nerves and wanting the performance to be perfect for Jelly Roll, an artist she admires.
The singer, who is currently on her Back to Wy tour, posted a video on her Instagram in response to the comments, confirming that she was 'so nervous' during the performance that she 'held on for dear life.'
This incident comes nearly a year after Judd lost her mother and former musical partner, Naomi Judd, to suicide, which has been a challenging time for her both personally and professionally.
