The 2022 CMA Fest had a lot of surprises in store for country music fans. Carly Pearce brought Wynonna Judd on stage to perform “Why Not Me.”
Pearce introduced Wynonna first by honoring her late mother, Naomi. Pearce went on to say, “We lost one of our pillars in country music this year, Ms. Naomi Judd. As a girl growing up in Kentucky, I idolized the Judds and wanted to be like them. And my first concert was to see Wynonna, and I’ve always loved all of the music The Judds made. I feel like it is just such a representation of the best of country music.”
