Country music legend Wynonna Judd took to social media to address the concerns some fans raised following her duet performance with rapper Jelly Roll.
Speaking or performing in public is a nightmare scenario for most people. Public speaking is always near the top of the most feared, dreaded activities. Having eyeballs focused on and judging your every move is a scary and frightening thought for most of the population. As it turns out, even seasoned, veteran performers are prone to an episode of stage fright and pre-show jitters every now and then.

During the Country Music Awards, rapper Jelly Roll performed his hit "Need a Favor." But the performance quickly turned into a duet. About a minute into the song, Wynonna Judd walks out onto the stage, joining and singing the catchy, toe-tapping tune, according to People.
Wynonna and Jelly sound awesome! They had everyone in the audience on their feet, singing and dancing along.
