Wynonna Judd’s physical appearance is at the center of public discussion. Many noted a noticeable difference in the star’s weight after seeing a photo and video of her online. This comes years after she shared something about her weight.
Country icon Wynonna Judd, 60, set Instagram ablaze on August 7 with the photo she shared of herself looking beautiful and vibrant, with her fiery signature hair and rockstar guitar. While many certainly noticed the star’s beauty, they couldn’t help but pinpoint something distinctly different about Wynonna’s physicality.

In the image, she sported an all-black ensemble that featured a plunging neckline, giving followers a cheeky glimpse at her neck and cleavage. Wynonna, who posed for the camera with a kissy face, paired her outfit with a striking rosary.
“THE BACK TO WY TOUR STARTS IN ONE MONTHHHH!!!!!!!! ,” penned the “I Saw The Light” singer in her caption, indicating that she has an exciting new venture in the works for her fans.
Three days after sharing the photo (August 10), a fan posted a video on TikTok of Wynonna performing at the Back Road Music Festival in Galva, Illinois. She was seen wearing the same outfit that she wore in her Instagram photo.

As Wynonna moved around the stage and swung her hands in the air, passionately performing for the buzzing crowd, her black and sparkly long jacket swayed along with her. At times, it would reveal what she had on underneath—a black form-fitting shirt that accentuated her slender physique.

Upon seeing the picture and TikTok fan video, many took to social media platforms to point out how much weight they think the musician has lost recently, with some believing it to be too much. “You have lost too much weight,” asserted an Instagrammer.
Another who believes that Wynonna might have taken something to help her lose weight expressed, “Someone say ozempic.” “Love you Wy, you need some biscuits and gravy cause you a bone now baby!!!” observed a netizen.
On the other hand, some people think Wynonna looks great after losing weight. “Wowza, Wy, you look great. So beautiful. I wanna look skinny like you are now. Share the secret please. ,” gushed a fan.
Echoing the sentiment and bringing Wynonna’s legendary late mother into the mix, another admirer swooned, “Wynonna you are looking just like your beautiful mama now that you’ve lost all the weight! ♥️.”

While Wynonna has yet to confirm her recent weight loss publicly, looking back at some of her past pictures and videos, they indicate a marked difference in the star’s physicality. A photo of the “Give A Little Love” artist from the 2022 CMT and Sandbox Live event in her honor shows Wynonna looking slightly fuller than she does now.

A video of her performing at the same event, which was shared on Instagram by CMT’s official account, displayed a close-up of Wynonna’s face. From the video’s vantage point, Wynonna’s visage is rounder and plumper than it is now.
The video was taken during Wynonna and her late mom Naomi Judd‘s performance of “Love Can Build A Bridge,” which they sang beautifully as their duo group The Judds.

Years before that performance and prior to her recent Instagram picture and show at the Back Road Music Festival, Wynonna shared an intimate detail concerning her weight on a past episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”

Wynonna Judd was joined by her mother and sister, Ashley Judd, on the show, and a snippet of the interview, which was published in 2010, revealed that Wynonna had past weight struggles.

She confessed that her struggles with her weight began when she was a young girl. Adding salt to the injury is the fact that the “Flies On The Butter” musician revealed that she had never spoken about her problems with her mom or sister.

However, while the aforementioned details are certainly disheartening, they do not change the fact that the country legend is still a beautiful, creative force in the music industry, regardless of whether she lost weight or not.
