On Sunday, Wynonna Judd walked the red carpet at the 2023 CMT Music Awards.
“Extra’s” Alecia Davis spoke to Wynonna, who said it was a “bittersweet” day without her late mother Naomi.
She added, “I woke up and I just I showed up.”
Reflecting on her final performance with Naomi at last year’s CMT Awards, Wynonna admitted she’s “angry.” She explained, “I'm angry that that was the last, because if I had known, of course I would have done things differently and spent a little bit more time with her.”
She elaborated, “Performance gets us into our perfectionism, or at least it does me, and so I would have probably been kinder because I get very nervous and we were standing there and everybody was telling us what to do and it was hectic. I just wish I could have gone, you know, a bit more towards the personal, but hey, that's what I've been doing for 40 years now.”
“It's hard to believe that this is the end of the story,” Judd noted.
