Fans Voice Concern for Wynonna Judd After 'Bizarre' CMA Awards Performance

Jelly Roll and Wynonna Judd

Wynonna Judd has fans worried for her health after her performance at the 2023 CMA Awards.

The country music star was brought on stage to sing with Jelly Roll during the 57th Annual CMA Awards on Wednesday, Nov. 8, and even though her vocals were just as stellar as always, fans couldn't help but notice something was off.

The 59-year-old appeared to be unstable as she walked the stage, eventually making her way over to Jellyroll, 38, and tightly gripping onto his shoulder as if she needed assistance to keep her balance.

Almost immediately after their duet on Jelly Roll's "Need a Favor," viewers flocked to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their concern for Judd, who some users noticed was struggling to stand during the performance.

"She could barely walk. She took baby steps," one person pointed out, while another user wrote, "Something is wrong with her. Hope she is ok!!"

"Something just wasn't right! I am very concerned," someone else added.

Another person called the performance "seriously bizarre," noting that Judd "barely moved once she got a death grip on [Jelly Roll]."

Other fans considered that Judd's shakiness on stage could have been a result of her battle with vertigo, which the Grammy-winner has been vocal about in the past.

"I think she is still struggling with vertigo. But not sure. Hope she is ok," one user wrote online after Wednesday night's performance.

"She suffers from vertigo that’s probably what it was she wouldn’t move her head or eyes. if you can imagine being on a spinning tcup ride non stop it makes sense," another user theorized.

Following the performance, Judd took to social media to respond to the criticism and concern, assuring fans that it was just a case of nerves.
