Wynonna Judd exclusively told Us Weekly about dealing with grief, gratitude and why she has no plans to retire
During her nearly 50-year career, the country singer has won five Grammy awards, released 14 No. 1 singles and sold more than 30 million records. She’s performed at the iconic Grand Ole Opry and in 2022, she was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame alongside her late mom, Naomi Judd, as the mother-daughter music duo The Judds.
“During a typical day, I’m wearing my big-butt pajama pants, a big T-shirt and Uggs with my hair in a ponytail and no makeup, walking around my kitchen thinking about what I’m going to make for dinner,” says the 60-year-old star. “I don’t have an extravagant lifestyle.” Here, the country music legend — who kicks off the second leg of her Back to Wy Tour in September — talks about grieving the loss of her mother , embracing grandmotherhood and the one thing she wishes she could tell her younger self.For me, 60 means trying to stay mentally fit and getting out there and giving everything I’ve got and having fun. I’m so tired of being hard on myself. I’m learning how to be content.Survival of the fittest.
It’s an absolute gas. I go fast: I work hard and I love hard, and I come home completely exhausted and exhilarated because I’ve given everything I have.Well, I’m raising Kaliyah, so it’s different than it was. Sometimes I go out and I walk in the woods and just stand there and cry and laugh and cuss and pray. That refills me with what I need to go back out there and give again.I go through a real intense emotional roller coaster.
