For their live gig, Wynonna, 59, and the young star sang Coal Miner’s Daughter, which was originally released by Emmy’s grandmother Loretta Lynn.

Wynonna took to the stage in a full face of makeup, with a cowboy hat covering her bright red hair.

The celebrity added sparkling jewelry to her look, and embellished her black blazer with blue stones.

Despite her bold fashion, however, Wynonna seemed meek on stage, barely moving as she sang beautifully.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, fans were quick to point out Wynonna’s static performance, with many voicing concern about her health.

“Wynonna Judd really didn’t move at all during her song. It was slightly disturbing,” one person said.

“@Wynonna is DEFINITELY hiding some kind of health issue on @AmericanIdol,” a second claimed.

“Something’s off with Wynonna,” said a third social media user.

“Wynonna… it’s giving you don’t wanna be there,” a fourth snarked.

“What is wrong with #Wynonna she acted the same way when she sang with #JellyRoll,” another fan observed.

FAN FEARS

One fan referred to Wynonna’s performance back in November, when she sang alongside Jelly Roll.

As the duo sang side by side on stage at the CMA awards, Wynnona clutched onto Jelly Roll’s jacket.

Fans quickly linked her actions to vertigo, and hinted that it may have been difficult for her on stage.

“Wynonna has vertigo and you could see in her eyes she was having it. The lights flashing will set it off. I have it and flashing lights no way. Glad Jelly realized it and held onto her. She also had a grip on him,” one person said.

WYNNONA SPEAKS OUT

Despite fan concern for her health, Wynonna quickly clarified her actions during the performance.

The star posted a video on both Instagram and TikTok, and insisted that her performance was nothing to do with her health.

“I’m just gonna come clean with y’all. I was so freaking nervous,” she said as she smiled.

“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.”

Wynonna then assured fans that she was heading off for the next leg of her tour, and added, “all is well.”
