Let's talk about Wynonna Judd, the legendary country singer who has always been open about her health battles. Over the years, she's shared her ups and downs with her fans, who have stood by her every step of the way. Recently, after her incredible performance at the CMA Awards 2023, Wynonna addressed some concerns fans had about her well-being. This is her story—a story of resilience, strength, and a whole lot of heart.
How Wynonna Judd Transformed Her Life
Back in the early '80s, Wynonna rose to fame alongside her mom, Naomi Judd, as part of the iconic duo, The Judds. But it wasn't just music that defined her journey. In 2010, Wynonna revealed a major transformation—she lost an astonishing 55 pounds after facing two health scares that changed her life forever.
In March of that year, doctors discovered blood clots in her lungs following a surgery to repair her stomach muscles. Then, just four months later, she was involved in a car accident in Salt Lake City. These events were wake-up calls for Wynonna, prompting her to commit to a healthier lifestyle. She realized that her weight wasn't the problem—it was a symptom of deeper issues.

“I used food to soothe and reward, and I don’t do that anymore,” Wynonna shared with People at the time. Her journey wasn’t just about losing weight; it was about finding balance and self-care. And let me tell you, it paid off. Years later, in September 2023, Wynonna looked absolutely radiant at the inaugural People’s Choice Country Awards. She walked the red carpet in a stunning pantsuit alongside her husband, Cactus Moser, and received the Country Champion Award. Fans couldn’t stop talking about her glowing presence.
Wynonna Judd Opens Up About Battling Vertigo
But Wynonna's challenges didn't stop there. On New Year’s Eve 2022, she had to cancel her appearance on CBS’ New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash with Kelsea Ballerini due to an intense bout of vertigo. If you've ever experienced vertigo, you know it can cause mild to severe dizziness. It's no joke.
In an Instagram video a few days after missing the performance, Wynonna opened up about her struggles. “I am working so hard on my mental, physical, and spiritual well-being,” she said. “I have an amazing team, and I’m truly blessed. But I’m also broken, and I’m working hard on self-care. Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s sacred.” Her words resonated with fans who admired her honesty and determination.
In February 2023, Wynonna paused a concert because she felt "really dizzy" on stage. She explained to the crowd, “I’m really dehydrated and I’m having a hard time, so hang on a second… This has never happened before.” A crew member brought her a stool, and she finished her set. Afterward, she reassured fans on Instagram, saying, “All is well.”
What Happened at the CMA Awards 2023?
Fast forward to the CMA Awards 2023, where Wynonna surprised everyone by taking the stage with Jelly Roll to open the show. They performed a duet of his song “Need a Favor,” and throughout the performance, Wynonna held onto his arm tightly. Some fans on X (formerly Twitter) were concerned, but Wynonna quickly addressed their worries in a TikTok video.
“I’m just going to come clean with y’all. I was so freaking nervous,” she admitted. “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 I was so nervous that I just held on for dear life. And that’s the bottom line.”
