Some speculated that the vertigo she struggles with may have popped up and caught her right before she headed on stage. Now, according to Classic Country Music, Wynonna is sharing what the culprit was behind her shaky show. She headed straight to Instagram after seeing all of the commentary regarding her performance.

Judd shared this:
“They say, ‘Don’t read the comments.’ I’ve read the comments. 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. 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!’ I got out there and was so nervous that I just held on for dear life. And that’s the bottom line … All is well.”
So, it seems that it was simply a case of nerves and nothing more. Keep in mind that Jelly Roll has let viewers know prior that he had a surprise guest singing with him. However, it was such a delightful shock to see Wynonna up there.
Moving On
Now that this has been cleared up, Wynonna Judd fans can go back to enjoying her on The Voice. Furthermore, she is still touring so concertgoers can rest easy. It must feel good to know so many people were concerned and wanted to make sure she was okay.
