Wynonna Judd gave country music fans the surprise of a lifetime when she took the stage at CMA Fest in Nashville on June 10 to help pay tribute to her mother and The JuddsBandmate Naomi Judd two months after her death.
The 57-year-old appeared on the Nissan Stadium main stage during Carly PearceLive set. Before introducing Wynonna, the “Never Wanted To Be That Girl” singer honored Naomi, calling her “one of our absolute pillars in country music.”
Carly told the crowd, “As a Kentucky girl, I was influenced by The Judds. And wanted to emulate them.” Wynonna was my first concert. “I’ve loved country music since childhood and The Judds is a great representation.
Wynonna then joined the 32-year-old onstage and sang The Judds’ 1984 hit “Why Not Me.”
