Wynonna Judd It didn’t bother her that people shared negative responses to her inaugural performance at the CMA Awards on Wednesday, Nov. 8. The 59-year-old singer began the show by singing a duet with jelly roll in his song “Need a Favor”, but some viewers were not impressed with his performance. While it’s best to avoid reading negative comments, Wynonna shared a video to explain her performance and attributed it to her nerves.

In a short clip shared on social media, the “Tell Me Why” singer said she was excited and nervous at the same time to share the stage with Jelly Roll. “They say, ‘Don’t read the comments.’ I read the comments! I’ll confess everything to you. “I was very nervous,” she said. “I watched Jelly Roll. I wish it was as good for him. “I could cry right now, but I won’t, because I’m a big fan of his .”

She also explained that “everything is fine” and that for her it was just a matter of taking the hits. “I got there and I was so nervous I resisted,” she said, before sharing something funny someone said to her before going on stage. “Just before I went on stage to sing the CMA opening theme, I heard a line that went something like this: Number one: Don’t fall. Number two: don’t kid yourself. And number three: God forbid, if you fall, don’t shit your pants.”

In the clip, Wynonna further explained that she would be returning to her tour and was excited to perform for her fans again. In the end, she seemed calm about the whole situation.

The CMAs were exciting for Jelly Roll, who took home Breakthrough Artist of the Year, her only win out of five nominations. In addition to her performance with Wynonna, she also performed a cover of the song “Love Can Build a Bridge with The Judds.” K. Michelle.
