<p>Wynonna Judd gave fans an update on Tuesday after having what she called a &#8220;really dizzy&#8221; spell while on stage over the weekend during her concert series, &#8220;The Judds: The Final Tour.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-just-lost-it-wynonna-judd-says-she-broke-down-while-rehearsing-on-tour-following-moms-suicide">58-year-old</a> country music star posted a message on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ConZ_lXu7WK/">Instagram</a> saying she was doing fine after experiencing the issue during a show in Dayton, Ohio, on Friday.</p>
<p>&#8220;All is well, y&#8217;all,&#8221; Judd posted. &#8220;[littlebigtown] and [martinamcbride], you are SUCH a blessing to me. Thank you for holding me up, literally and figuratively!&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I am really dizzy,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Can somebody come up here, please?&#8221;</p>
<p>Her crew immediately stepped in to help her out, and the &#8220;Why Not Me&#8221; hitmaker told the audience, &#8220;I&#8217;m really dehydrated and I&#8217;m having a hard time so hang on a second.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Hang on,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I&#8217;m just really dizzy, and this has never happened before, so of course it would happen in Ohio.&#8221;</p>
<p>Judd was eventually able to get things under control and continued her show. She then joked with fans, &#8220;If I faint, just take a lot of pictures, OK?&#8221;</p>
<p>The country star and her now-deceased mother, Naomi, announced the final tour of The Judds weeks before news surfaced about Naomi&#8217;s sudden death at age 76. On April 30, Wynonna&#8217;s mom took her life after a lengthy battle with mental health problems.</p>

Wynonna Judd

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Country music singer Naomi Judd, who formed the famed Judds duo with her daughter Wynonna, left a post-it note before her suicide asserting she did not want Wynonna at her funeral.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Judd, 76, was found dead at her Tennessee mansion last April in an apparent suicide from a gunshot wound.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Do Not let Wy come to my funeral. She&#8217;s mentally ill,” the post-it note — released by the  Williamson County Sheriff&#8217;s Department — read, with the word “not” underlined, Radar Online <a href="https://radaronline.com/p/naomi-judd-suicide-note-wynonna-mentally-ill-banned-funeral/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The day of Naomi Judd’s death, her daughter, actress Ashley Judd, reportedly sent <a href="https://radaronline.com/p/ashley-judd-texts-therapist-naomi-suicide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">frantic texts</a> to Naomi&#8217;s therapist, Dr. Ted Klontz, saying her mother was having a manic episode. “She’s having an episode. Yelling and crying and pacing … Emergency … Please come to mom’s … Now,&#8221; she wrote. After Naomi allegedly calmed down, she went upstairs while Ashley Judd and the doctor spoke. But when Ashley Judd went upstairs, she found her mother with a gunshot wound to the head, prompting her to tell Klontz: “She did it. She finally did it.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">A Williamson County Sheriff’s Deputy who responded to the scene <a href="https://radaronline.com/p/naomi-judd-sad-last-days-death/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, “Didn’t like being alone/Larry in Europe &#8230; She threatened to kill herself a half a dozen times, guns were involved. She locked herself in her bedroom. She would threaten to shoot the people who took her [illegible.]”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Naomi Judd <a href="https://radaronline.com/p/naomi-judd-cut-wynonna-ashley-25-million-will-suicide-documents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> had left both her daughters, Wynonna and Ashley, out of her will, leaving everything to her husband of 33 years, Larry Strickland. “I nominate and appoint my spouse, Larry Strickland, as Executor of my estate. &#8230; In the event my spouse ceases or fails to serve, then I nominate and appoint my brother-in-law, Reginald Strickland, and Daniel Kris Wiatr as Co-Executors. I direct that no bond shall be required of my Executor,” she wrote.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Wynonna dismissed rumors that she and Ashley were fighting over their mother’s estate, telling <a href="https://people.com/country/wynonna-judd-addresses-rumors-fighting-with-sister-ashley-judd-over-mom-naomi-judd-estate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People Magazine</a>, “Someone told me while I was at Ashley&#8217;s house, ‘Hey, did you know that they’re saying this about you?’ I went, ‘Huh? I’m fighting with Ashley? Oh. Again?’ Fighting over what? I have such a great life. Ashley has a great life. Why would we be fighting over the will?”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“I am the last person in this family — and if Ashley was here, I’d hope she&#8217;d agree with me — who knows stuff like this,” she continued. “I’m not savvy enough to go, ‘I’m going to contest the will.’ It never occurred to me.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Sources told Radar Online that Wynonna did indeed attend her mother’s funeral.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Judds dominated country music in the 1980s, winning five Grammys, nine CMAs, and selling tens of millions of records.</p>

Suicide

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music">Country star</a> Wynonna Judd said she knew &#8220;something wasn&#8217;t right&#8221; with her mom Naomi Judd before the singer committed suicide in April.</p>
<p>During the 58-year-old singer&#8217;s appearance on the &#8220;Making Space&#8221; <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wynonna-judd-tough-and-tender/id1585499926?i=1000593154750">podcast</a> with Hoda Kotb Monday, Wynonna talked about the last time she performed with her mother at the Country Music Television Awards less than a month before her death.</p>
<p>&#8220;She was very fragile,&#8221; Judd shared. &#8220;And I think it&#8217;s because she hadn&#8217;t sung in a long time.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And I think when our parents get older, their world gets smaller,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And she was late (that night), and she is never late. I think she was nervous.&#8221;</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>The country singer admitted the dynamic of their relationship &#8220;was tough and tender.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It was sometimes hard for me to be tender with mom, because I&#8217;m the lead singer, and I’m on my own version of life, on my own journey,&#8221; Judd shared. &#8220;And I think it occurred to me, though. All of a sudden, she looked at me and blinked, and I knew then that something wasn’t right in terms of her being off a little bit, like, nervous.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I softened, which I think is God&#8217;s grace,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And I just kind of reached out and touched her hand, like, &#8216;I&#8217;m here. I got you. It&#8217;s OK.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And I&#8217;m glad I did that, because that was the last time we performed together,&#8221; Wynonna continued.  &#8220;I&#8217;m glad I didn&#8217;t stay stuck in my perfectionism is my point, I guess.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;No One Else On Earth&#8221; hitmaker also acknowledged &#8220;struggling&#8221; with why her mom took her own life.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to help other people not do what my mother [did],&#8221; Wynnona said. &#8220;Life is a mystery &#8230; I was mad for a long time, cause it was like the story can&#8217;t end like this. No. .. I just want to help one person.&#8221;</p>
<p>Naomi killed herself on April 30th after a battle with mental health problems, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ashley-judd-reveals-how-her-mother-naomi-died">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported. She was 76. Weeks before, she and Wynnona had announced the final tour of The Judds.</p>

She also said that she and her sister are &#8220;closer than we’ve been in a long time.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, when I became an orphan, I took a real strong look around me and said, &#8216;OK. Forgiveness. Forgiveness is key,'&#8221; Wynonna shared.  &#8220;Ashley and I are closer than we&#8217;ve been in a long time. So, get off our backs there, press. We love each other.

<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t agree on much, but we support one another, and we agree to disagree,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And we&#8217;ve had some tough conversations lately about &#8216;What are we going to do?&#8217; now that we have each other.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel a lot more tender than I did, and I was always tender-hearted, but I feel even more so now,&#8221; Judd continued. &#8220;You&#8217;re such a strong, yet tender, person. You know what it&#8217;s like to feel the loss and the love at the same time. Oftentimes, it&#8217;s joy and sorrow at the same time.&#8221;</p>

Wynonna Judd Talks About How Relationship With Sister Ashley Judd Has Changed Since Mom’s Suicide

Ashley Judd

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music">Country star</a> Wynonna Judd admitted she broke down while rehearsing on the tour she was supposed to participate in with her mom Naomi Judd before the late-star&#8217;s suicide earlier this year.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/wynonna-judd-says-she-feels-helpless-after-moms-suicide-that-she-cant-do-this-grieving-thing-alone-in-heartfelt-post">58-year-old</a> country singer was back practicing on stage recently, and she shared that hearing the part of the show when her mom&#8217;s voice would sync up with hers was just too much, the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/naomi-judd-the-judds-tour-wynonna-ashley-larry-strickland-96754489418f7ff13a0cea1de0a9b3b1">Associated Press</a> reported over the weekend.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s devastatingly beautiful to go back to the past and relive some of these memories,&#8221; Judd shared on tour. &#8220;Yesterday I was in rehearsal and there&#8217;s a part in the show where they sync up Mom singing with me. And I turned around, and I just lost it.&#8221;</p>
<p>The country star and her mom announced the final tour of The Judds weeks before news surfaced about Naomi&#8217;s sudden death at age 76. On April 30th, the country music legend took her life.</p>
<p>The 11-stop tour kicked off September 30th in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It will continue through places like Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and lastly on October 29 in Lexington, Kentucky.</p>
<p>Wynonna will be joined by fellow country stars like Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, Kelsea Ballerini, and more.</p>
<p>During Friday&#8217;s show, the &#8220;No One Else On Earth&#8221; hitmaker was emotional as she sang alongside singer Brandi Carlisle and thanked fans for coming out to honor her late mom, <a href="https://americansongwriter.com/wynonna-judd-honors-mother-naomi-on-opening-night-of-the-judds-final-tour/">American Songwriter.com</a> noted.</p>
<p>In a clip from the show, the singer sang The Judd&#8217;s 1990 monster hit &#8220;Love Can Build a Bridge&#8221; along to a video playing in the background showing old footage of her and her mom performing on stage together, the outlet noted.</p>

‘I Just Lost It’: Wynonna Judd Says She Broke Down While Rehearsing On Tour Following Mom’s Suicide

<p>Country singer Wynonna Judd admitted in a recent interview that she is still &#8220;incredibly angry&#8221; that her mother and singing partner <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/naomi-judd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naomi Judd</a> recently ended her own life.</p>
<p>Judd, 58, made an <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/09/25/wynonna-judd-angry-over-naomi-judds-death-by-suicide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appearance</a> on &#8220;CBS Sunday Morning&#8221; with correspondent Lee Cowan to talk about her life following the loss of her mother — and about going back on tour alone.</p>
<p>&#8220;I got the call, and I went over, and I saw her and I said goodbye to her in the hospital,&#8221; Judd explained, adding that she was still &#8220;incredibly angry&#8221; and wasn&#8217;t certain the feeling would ever really go away.</p>
<p>&#8220;I closed her eyes, and I kissed her forehead, and that was that. And next thing I know, I’m sitting here on the side porch, and I’m just trying to figure out what’s next,&#8221; she said, later noting that she still felt her mother&#8217;s spirit with her. &#8220;I feel her nudging me. And sometimes, I laugh. And sometimes, I say, ‘I really miss you. Why aren’t you here so we can argue?'&#8221;</p>
<p>Judd went on to say that she had always tried to honor her mother — and she believed <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/family-pain-for-years-to-come-naomi-judds-graphic-death-records-sealed-from-public-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naomi</a> had known that.</p>

‘Why Aren’t You Here?’: Wynonna Judd Admits She’s ‘Incredibly Angry’ About Her Mom’s Suicide

Wynonna Judd Admits She's 'Incredibly Angry' About Her Mom's Suicide

Music

<p>Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ashley-judd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ashley Judd</a> has penned an op-ed in which she makes a case for sealing documents and keeping information out of the public domain following her mother <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/naomi-judd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naomi Judd&#8217;s</a> death earlier this year.</p>
<p>In The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/31/opinion/ashley-judd-naomi-suicide.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled, “Ashley Judd: The Right to Keep Private Pain Private,” the actress talked about how April 30, 2022, “was the most shattering day of my life” after discovering her mother took her own life, losing her ongoing battle with mental health.</p>
<p>“The trauma of discovering and then holding her laboring body haunts my nights,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ashley-judd-reveals-how-her-mother-naomi-died" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Judd</a> wrote. “As my family and I continue to mourn our loss, the rampant and cruel misinformation that has spread about her death, and about our relationships with her, stalks my days. The horror of it will only worsen if the details surrounding her death are disclosed by the Tennessee law that generally allows police reports, including family interviews, from closed investigations to be made public.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">We have shared our story so openly, to raise awareness, reduce stigma, to help people identify, and make sure we all know we face mental illness together.

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>The “Divergent” star said on the day she discovered <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/family-pain-for-years-to-come-naomi-judds-graphic-death-records-sealed-from-public-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naomi</a> had committed suicide, she gave multiple interviews to the police, providing “answers to the many probing questions” that she said she would have never answered on another day.</p>
<p>“&#8230;Questions about which I never thought to ask my own questions, including: Is your body camera on?” Judd shared. “Am I being audio recorded again? Where and how will what I am sharing be stored, used and made available to the public?”</p>
<p>“I began a series of interviews that felt mandatory and imposed on me that drew me away from the precious end of my mother&#8217;s life,” she added, explaining how family members “each shared everything we could think of about Mom, her mental illness and its agonizing history.”</p>
<p>The “Kiss the Girls” star said she wanted to make it clear the police only did what they had been taught to do. But she added that law enforcement officers need to be better trained in responding to and investigating cases involving trauma. Judd said she felt that the men who responded to the call the day of Naomi&#8217;s death made her feel that she was a “possible suspect in my mother&#8217;s suicide.”</p>
<p>“At the beginning of August, my family and I filed a petition with the courts to prevent the public disclosure of the investigative file, including interviews the police conducted with us at a time when we were at our most vulnerable and least able to grasp that what we shared so freely that day could enter the public domain,” Ashley wrote. “This profoundly intimate personal and medical information does not belong in the press, on the internet or anywhere except in our memories.”</p>
<p>“We have asked the court to not release these documents not because we have secrets,” she added. “&#8230;We ask because privacy in death is a death with more dignity. And for those left behind, privacy avoids heaping further harm upon a family that is already permanently and painfully altered.”</p>
<p>She concluded her letter by sharing that she, her sister, Wynonna Judd, and the rest of their family “hold fast to our belief that what we said and did in the immediate aftermath of Naomi’s death should remain in the private domain — just as it should for all families facing such devastation.”</p>
<p>A temporary injunction was reportedly granted to keep the late country legend&#8217;s “graphic” death records sealed from the public in August, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/family-pain-for-years-to-come-naomi-judds-graphic-death-records-sealed-from-public-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported. An evidentiary hearing has been set for September.</p>

Ashley Judd Drops Op-Ed Asking ‘To Keep Private Pain Private’ After Naomi Judd’s Death

Death

<p>The Judd family on Friday filed a court petition attempting to prevent documents related to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music">country music</a> legend <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/naomi-judd">Naomi Judd</a>&#8216;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ashley-judd-reveals-how-her-mother-naomi-died">death</a> from being made public. Judd died in April, reportedly by suicide, at age 76.</p>
<p>The petition revealed new details into the late star&#8217;s death, including how her daughter, actress Ashely Judd, found her mother alive after the Grammy-winning singer shot herself. Ashley Judd was with her mother for some 30 minutes before help arrived, <a href="https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2022/08/12/judd-family-sues-prevent-release-records-naomi-judds-suicide-death/10312849002/">according</a> to a report from The Tennessean.</p>
<p>“She obviously was suffering, and, as such, her days up until that moment were hurtful to her,” Ashley Judd <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ashley-judd-reveals-how-her-mother-naomi-died">said</a> during an appearance on “Good Morning America&#8221; following her mother&#8217;s death.</p>
<p>The petition was filed by Judd&#8217;s daughters, Ashley and Wynonna Judd, and husband Larry Strickland, whom Naomi Judd wed in 1989.</p>
<p>The petition says the release of video and audio interviews related to the death investigation would cause &#8220;significant trauma and irreparable harm.&#8221; The family is also seeking to keep personal medical information and police reports private, The Tennessean noted.</p>
<p class="gnt_ar_b_p">&#8220;I think Naomi Judd should be remembered for the way she lived and not in the matter in which she died,&#8221; the family said in their statements.</p>
<p>Namoi Judd&#8217;s death on April 30, notably one day before she was to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, shocked the music industry, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ashley-judd-reveals-how-her-mother-naomi-died">The Daily Wire</a> reported at the time.</p>
<p>“Mother used a firearm,” Ashley Judd revealed following the death. “That’s the piece of information that we are very uncomfortable sharing, but understand that we’re in a position that if we don’t say it, someone else is going to.”</p>
<p>“It was a mixed day,” the actress recalled. “I was at the house visiting, as I am every day, and mom said to me ‘will you stay with me?’ and I said: ‘Of course I will.’”</p>
<p>Ashely Judd briefly left to greet a family friend, she said, and upon returning discovered her mother. “I went upstairs to let her know that the friend was there and I discovered her,” she said. “I have both grief and trauma from discovering her.”</p>
<p>Referring to her mother&#8217;s struggle with mental illness, Ashely Judd added that her mom&#8217;s &#8220;brain hurt. It physically hurt.”</p>
<p>Notably, Naomi Judd left complete control of her estate and fortune, believed to be worth $25 million, to Strickland, earmarking nothing for her two daughters, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/naomi-judd-cut-daughters-out-of-25-million-will-report">The Daily Wire</a> reported.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Why Not Me&#8221; singer reportedly made no mention of her famous daughters in the will, and it&#8217;s unknown if Naomi Judd instructed Strickland to divide her assets.</p>

Ashley Judd Found Mother Naomi Judd Alive After She Shot Herself, New Court Papers Reveal

<p>Naomi Judd&#8217;s family has reportedly been granted a court order to have the late country legend&#8217;s &#8220;graphic&#8221; death records sealed from the public to eliminate pain &#8220;for years to come.&#8221;</p>
<p>In court documents obtained by <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/naomi-judds-family-granted-order-keep-graphic-death-records-private-rcna41563?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma">NBC News</a>, Wynonna and Ashley Judd, along with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/naomi-judd">Judd&#8217;s</a> widower, Larry Strickland, filed a request to keep the investigation into the &#8220;graphic manner&#8221; of the singer&#8217;s suicide a private matter, the outlet reported on Thursday. The injunctive relief was filled in Williamson County, Tennessee, on Monday.</p>
<p>The material reportedly obtained by the sheriff&#8217;s office, which responded to Judd&#8217;s death in April, collected photos and video evidence that, if released to the public, could cause &#8220;emotional distress, pain and mental anguish,&#8221; the court filing noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;Moreover, the release of these records would continue to cause the entire family pain for years to come,&#8221; it added.</p>
<p>A temporary injunction was reportedly granted on Tuesday, and an evidentiary hearing has been set for September.</p>
<p>In the order, the court reportedly stated that the county is to alert &#8220;anyone who requested documents connected to Judd&#8217;s death under the state&#8217;s open records law of the decision.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Why Not Me&#8221; hitmaker killed herself in April after a lengthy battle with mental health problems, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ashley-judd-reveals-how-her-mother-naomi-died">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported. She was 76.</p>
<p>&#8220;She obviously was suffering, and, as such, her days up until that moment were hurtful to her,&#8221; Ashley Judd said in a &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221; appearance.</p>
<p>The late country star and Strickland tied the knot in May 1989. Judd reportedly left complete control of her estate and fortune, believed to be worth $25 million, to Strickland, earmarking nothing for her two daughters.</p>
<p>In Judd&#8217;s will, obtained by <a href="https://twitter.com/radar_online/status/1554119855242190848?s=20&amp;t=HKguae1d7PEt2uilQhsitw">RadarOnline</a>, the late country legend makes no mention of her famous daughters. Whether the late singer instructed Strickland to divide her assets is unknown. There have been no official comments from Wynonna or her actress sister about the report yet.</p>

<p>&#8220;I DO know, that the pain of losing Mom on 4/30 to suicide is so great, that I often feel like I&#8217;m not ever going to be able to fully accept and surrender to the truth that she left the way she did,&#8221; Judd shared. &#8220;This cannot be how The Judds story ends. I DO know, that in order to be a healthier grandparent to my firstborn grandchild Kaliyah, {born 4/13, 2 weeks &amp; 2 days before Mom left}, to break the cycle of addiction &amp; family dysfunction, that I must continue to show up for myself {first} and do the personal healing work.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I know that it is a simple steps program, and those steps are not easy to take at times,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Therefore, I&#8217;ve made a commitment to keep doing the &#8216;next right thing,&#8217; and schedule weekly appointments so that I continue with the ongoing work, even when I have good days. I DO know, that I feel so helpless—right now especially.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I DO know, that as corny as it sounds,&#8221; the country singer continued. &#8220;I find myself humming the song that Mom wrote for the fans, to myself here on the farm at night. I really DO know, that I&#8217;m not able to do this grieving thing all by myself, and that it&#8217;s okay to reach out for help. I will continue to fight for my faith, for my SELF, for my family, and I WILL continue to show up &amp; sing.&#8221;</p>
<p>She thanked fans for all the &#8220;love and support&#8221; they have shared following her mom’s suicide, and closed out her post by saying &#8220;let&#8217;s check in more often.&#8221;</p>

Country Star Naomi Judd’s Daughter Says ‘Hundreds Of Cards And Letters Continue To Pour In’ Following Her Mom’s Death

Naomi Judd’s Daughter Says ‘Hundreds Of Cards And Letters Continue To Pour In’ Following Singer's Death

<p>Wynonna Judd said she feels &#8220;helpless&#8221; after her mother Naomi Judd&#8217;s recent suicide and admitted she can&#8217;t &#8220;do this grieving thing all by myself.&#8221; In a heartfelt post, she explained how it&#8217;s &#8220;okay to reach out for help&#8221; and the need to check in on each other.</p>
<p>In a lengthy post shared Sunday on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CeJQB-1uBSn/">Instagram</a>, the 58-year-old country singer wrote about how there is &#8220;so much happening in the world right now&#8221; without really specifying all of what she was referencing.  She then said that before she decided to sit down and write that she really didn&#8217;t &#8220;know what to say&#8221; she recalled advice she got from her life coach who said &#8220;what do you know&#8221; and that&#8217;s what she wrote about.</p>
