Wynonna Judd is comforting fans after her performance at the CMA Awards sparked concern.
The country singer surprised the audience as she joined Jelly Roll on stage for the award show’s opening performance, and the two sang a passionate duet rendition of the rapper’s hit single, “Need a Favor.”
Afterward, fans and viewers expressed their concern on social media about Judd, 59, as they noticed her gripping her duet partner’s arm during the performance and appearing less comfortable than she usually is on stage.
The “No One Else on Earth” singer took to Instagram after the show to address the concerns, as she spoke out from aboard a plane as she left Nashville for an upcoming show in Texas.
“Okay so they say don’t read the comments – I’ve read the comments,” Judd said in the video posted early Thursday morning. “And I’m just gonna come clean with y’all – I was so freaking nervous. I got out there and I looked at Jelly Roll, I wanted it to be so good for him.”
She continued of her pre-show nerves, “I could cry right now, but I’m not going to, because I’m such a fan of his, and he asked me to sing and I said absolutely.”
Addressing fans’ concerns about her gripping onto the country star, she said, “I got out there and I was so nervous that I just held on for dear life. And that’s the bottom line.”
