She revealed: “I was so damn nervous”. When Jelly Roll invited her to perform with him, she was thrilled, but that excitement was overshadowed by her nervousness. “I came out there and I was so nervous, I was fighting for my life. And that’s the bottom line.”
Speaking to ET after her performance, Judd explained her decision to accept Jelly Roll’s invitation. “I have to be there for people like other people have been there for me”, she explained. “My role now is to pay it forward because I’ve experienced so much generosity, and now it’s my turn to give back to artists like Jelly Roll.”
