Wynonna Judd & Late Mom Naomi Earn CMT Music Awards Nomination That ‘Meant So Much’

Wynonna Judd had a difficult time following her mother's passing. The country singer faced health challenges and took a break from concerts, leaving fans concerned. However, Wynonna Judd eventually returned to what she does best— performing— and took to Instagram to share some good news.

On March 8, Wynonna had the perfect start to her morning when she learned she and her late mother had earned a nomination from the CMT Music Awards for Performance of the Year. The country singer also received an individual nomination for Performance of the Year.

She shared, "So grateful to be nominated for two performances that meant so much to me (and the fans!)." After announcing the news on social media, fans of Wynonna flooded her comments sections with congratulatory messages and words of support.

"Well deserved !! We got you!" one person shared, and another typed, "I have been thinking you and your mom need to be nominated for something, and then today, you were." Another social media user commented, "You deserve this (and) so much more. Momma is so proud of you," and a fourth said, "Well deserved, and I hope that you win."

Wynonna Battled With Some Health Issues During Her Previous Performances

During a live performance in Dayton in February 2023, Wynonna paused mid-song after revealing that she was feeling dizzy and dehydrated. After a crew member hopped on stage to help steady her, she told fans, "This has never happened before."

After contemplating whether or not to end the show, Wynonna finished her set while sitting on a stool and jokily said to fans, "If I faint, just take a lot of pictures!" She later took to social media to share an update and revealed that all was well.

In another Instagram post, Wynonna addressed concerned fans and shared that she was working on her mental, physical, and spiritual well-being while on a break from performing.

Performing Again and Touring Helped Wynonna Heal After Mom Naomi's Death

Towards the end of 2022, Wynonna returned to the stage for the first time after her mother's passing, and while performing, she expressed how glad she was that she decided to do the tour.

She took the stage with the country music group Little Big Town, who commended Wynonna for grieving and celebrating her mother with fans. Although Wynonna Judd was glad to be back on stage, the country singer admitted that it was a "big deal" and said, "There are five stages of grief; they say there are actually six. The sixth stage is finding meaning in all of it."
