The Judds, one of the most successful duos in country music in the 1980s, are reuniting to perform on the CMT Music Awards, their first major awards show performance together in more than two decades.
The mother-and-daughter duo of Naomi and Wynonna will perform their hit "Love Will Build a Bridge" on the awards show on April 11, airing on CBS and Paramount+, during an outdoor shoot in front of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee.
It's a fitting backdrop for the five-time Grammy winners, who will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in May.
"It feels both surreal and what a thrill it is. What a thrill to finally get her back on the stage because she's been waiting for 20-plus years," Wynonna told the AP of her mother, Naomi. "As a daughter and as an artist, it's a win-win."
Originally from Kentucky, Naomi was working as a nurse in the Nashville area when she and Wynonna started singing together professionally. Their unique harmonies, together with elements of acoustic music, bluegrass and blues, made them stand out in the genre at the time.
The Judds won nine Country Music Association Awards and seven from the Academy of Country Music and had more than a dozen No. 1 hits, including "Mama, He's Crazy" and "Grandpa (Tell Me 'bout the Good Old Days)."
In 1990, Naomi Judd announced her retirement from performing due to chronic hepatitis. Wynonna has continued her solo career and they have occasionally reunited for special performances.
"To have all the incredible opportunities that I have had, being reminded of all that, just makes me very humbled and I just want to bask in the moment," Naomi Judd told the AP.
This is also their first ever performance together at the CMT Music Awards. Country star Kacey Musgraves will introduce the pair prior to the performance.
"Music is the bridge between mom and me, and it it bonds us together. Even in the not easy times," said Wynonna Judd. "We show up and we sing because that's what love is about, right? So what a beautiful celebration."
Hosted by country singer Kelsea Ballerini and actor Anthony Mackie, the fan-voted awards show will also feature performances by Ballerini, Kane Brown, Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Cody Johnson, Little Big Town, Keith Urban, Carly Pearce and more.
