The main topic of conversation among the general public is Wynonna Judd’s physique. After seeing an online snapshot and video of the singer, many noticed a considerable change in her weight. Years have passed since she disclosed something regarding her weight.
The 60-year-old country music queen Wynonna Judd ignited Instagram on August 7th when she uploaded a picture of herself with a rockstar guitar and her fiery characteristic hair, looking stunning and lively. Even while many people acknowledged Wynonna’s attractiveness, they couldn’t help but notice something quite strange about her physique.
She was wearing an all-black outfit with a plunging neckline in the photo, offering fans a cheeky peek at her cleavage and neck. Wynonna accessorized her ensemble with an eye-catching rosary as she made a kissing face for the camera.
The singer of “I Saw The Light” wrote in her post, “THE BACK TO WY TOUR STARTS IN ONE MONTHHHH!!!!!!!!!!,” hinting at an exciting new project she’s working on for her followers.
On August 10, three days after the picture was shared, a fan uploaded a video of Wynonna performing at the Back Road Music Festival in Galva, Illinois, on TikTok. She was spotted wearing the same attire as in her Instagram picture.
The country music icon was captured on camera performing a stirring cover of one of her best-loved songs, “No One Else On Earth,” to the sound of her gifted band.
Wynonna’s long, glittering black jacket swayed as she went around the stage and swung her hands in the air, giving an intense performance for the enthusiastic audience. Occasionally, it would show off what was underneath—a black, tight-fitting top that emphasized her thin figure.
Many people used social media to comment on how much weight they thought the musician had dropped recently after viewing the photo and TikTok fan video, with some saying it was too much.”You’ve shed too much weight,” an Instagram user said.
“Someone say ozempic,” said someone else who thinks Wynonna may have taken anything to aid in her weight loss. One netizen wrote, “Love you Wy, you need some biscuits and gravy cause you a bone now baby!!!”
However, some individuals believe Wynonna looks fantastic now that she has shed some weight.”Whoa, Wy, you look amazing. Very lovely. I want to have your current slim figure. Please share the secret, gushed an admirer.
Another admirer echoed the remark and mentioned Wynonna’s late, renowned mother, saying, “Wynonna, you look just like your beautiful mama now that you’ve lost all the weight! ♥️.”
Even though Wynonna hasn’t officially acknowledged her recent weight reduction, a review of some of her older images and videos reveals a noticeable change in the star’s physical appearance. Wynonna appears somewhat fuller than she does now in a portrait of the “Give A Little Love” singer at the 2022 CMT and Sandbox Live event held in her honor.
A close-up of Wynonna’s face was seen in a video that CMT’s official account posted on Instagram during her performance at the same event. Wynonna’s face appears rounder and plumper from the perspective of the video than it does now.
Wynonna and her late mother Naomi Judd, who performed the song “Love Can Build A Bridge” as their duo group The Judds, are seen in the video.
Wynonna revealed a personal information about her weight on an earlier edition of “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” years before that performance and before her most recent Instagram photo and appearance at the Back Road Music Festival.
Ashley Judd, Wynonna’s sister, and mother joined her on the program. A 2010 excerpt from the conversation disclosed Wynonna’s history with weight issues.
She acknowledged that when she was a little child, she first struggled with her weight. The musician of “Flies On The Butter” disclosed that she had never discussed her issues with her mother or sister, which just serves to exacerbate the wound.
The country legend is still a stunning, creative force in the music business, whether or not she lost weight, despite the fact that the aforementioned facts are undoubtedly depressing.
Matt Heath: My parting message: Enjoy things while they are around
A lot of big, tragic and important things have happened to this wonderful country of ours since April 2014. None of which I have covered. I was too busy writing about hungover parenting, ancient philosophy and my dog Colin.
Out of the 536 columns I have written, 27 were about that guy. Far too few. He is such a good boy, he deserves an article a week.
Today is the end of an era for me, and whenever these final events pop up in our lives, we can’t help but think about the ultimate end.
Everything we do, we will one day do for the last time. That’s why you have to enjoy things while they are around. It’s not just big events like leaving a job, house or loved one either. Whatever moment you happen to be in now, you will never get it back, and you don’t know how many more you have.
Everything we do in life, from eating pizza to spending time with the people we love, to driving, writing, drinking or breathing, we will one day experience for the final time. It might happen tomorrow. This can be either a depressing or an inspiring thought, depending on how you look at it.
A few years back in this column, I interviewed professor of philosophy William B Irvine, of Wright State University, Ohio, on this very topic. He put it this way on a Zoom call: “Recognition of the impermanence of everything in life can invest the things we do with a significance and intensity that would otherwise be absent. The only way we can be truly alive is if we make it our business periodically to entertain thoughts of the end.”
Today’s column is very meaningful to me because it is my last. Like the last night with a lover before she goes overseas. And just like a lover, there have been some half-arsed efforts put in from me over the years. Last week, for example, I spent 750 words moaning about how bad my cricket team is. But the truth is that any of my columns could have been the final. If I had reminded myself every week for the past 10 years that the end is inevitable, I may have been more grateful for having a column and appreciated writing them all as much as I am this one.
While everything we do could have more meaning with a focus on finitude, some things are inherently more worthwhile than others. There is no doubt my column “The pros and cons of wearing Speedos” from November 2022 was less meaningful than most things in this world. That was a waste of everyone’s time. So, if we only have so much time, how do we pick the best things to do?
Well, Oliver Burkeman, the author of Four Thousand Weeks – Time Management For Mortals, suggested this to me in a 2022 column: “Ask yourself, does this choice enlarge me? You usually know on some unspoken level if it does. That’s a good way to distinguish between options.”
With that in mind, I don’t feel great about my 2018 article on “New Zealand’s best hole”. That didn’t enlarge anyone.
There will be people reading this column right now who have loved my writing in the Herald and are sad to see it end. Others will have hated it and are glad to see me go. Many won’t have any opinion at all. But for those in the first camp, I have good news. I have a book coming out on May 28 called A Life Less Punishing – 13 Ways To Love The Life You Got (Allen and Unwin Book Publishers). It’s a deep dive into the history, philosophy and science of not wasting our time lost in anger, loneliness, humiliation, stress, fear, boredom and all the other ways we find to not enjoy perfectly good lives. It’s available for pre-order right now (google it if you’re interested).
A Life Less Punishing took me two years to write and is equivalent in words to 100 of these columns. Which would be a complete nightmare for those in the hate camp, but as I say, great news for those who want more.
Anyway, thanks to the Herald for having me, thanks to the lovely people who make an effort to say nice things to me about my column nearly every day and thanks to the universe for every single second we get.
Bless!
