Wynonna, 59, had some viewers concerned for her health, however, as she appeared to be “off” during the duo’s performance.
On Tuesday, she shared photos of her outfit for the show, which included a black cowboy hat embellished with blue stones and black feathers.
She wore a long, black blazer with matching stones on the lapel, pockets, and sleeves, along with a white button-up and flared black pants.
Her Instagram post contained two full-body shots of her standing in front of an American Idol step-and-repeat and one close-up selfie.

The stones on her outfit perfectly matched the backdrop behind her, prompting her caption choice.
“Did we plan wardrobe around @americanidol or did they plan around me?” she wrote.
Fans prasied the singer’s look in the comments, with one writing, “I swear you don’t age!!!! And you can rock a hat like no other!!”
“You look STUNNING!! It was a WONDERFUL surprise to see you on American Idol singing with Emmy,” a second wrote.
“Just when you think she can’t get any hotter,” a third said.
“You were stunning and I absolutely loved your performance,” another commented.
BARELY MOVING?
While some viewers may have hyped up Wynonna’s Idol performance, others were left concerned for her health.
While the Young Love hitmaker took the stage in style, some viewers thought she appeared meek as she barely moved around.
Fans were quick to point out Wynonna’s persona on X, formerly Twitter, with many voicing concern about her wellbeing.
“Wynonna Judd really didn’t move at all during her song. It was slightly disturbing,” one person tweeted.

“Something’s off with Wynonna,” a second said.
“@Wynonna is DEFINITELY hiding some kind of health issue on @AmericanIdol,” added a third.
Others thought her onstage behavior was similar to when she performed with Jelly Roll back in November.
As the two sang together at the CMA Awards, Wynonna clutched onto Jelly Roll’s jacket — which led some viewers to believe she had vertigo.
“Wynonna has vertigo and you could see in her eyes she was having it. The lights flashing will set it off. I have it and flashing lights no way. Glad Jelly realized it and held onto her. She also had a grip on him,” one person tweeted.
“She appears to be needing to hang on him for balance and almost looked like a mannequin while performing. Hoping it’s not something medical that’s bad going on,” another chimed in.
WYNONNA’S RESPONSE
Shortly after the CMA Awards, Wynonna addressed the performance with a selfie video to clarify why she held onto the country artist.
“I’m just gonna come clean with y’all. I was so freaking nervous,” she revealed.
“I got out there and I looked at Jelly Roll. I wanted it to be so good for him.
“I could cry right now, but I’m not going to because I’m such a fan of his and he asked me to sing and I said, ‘Absolutely!’
“I got out there and I was so nervous that I just held on for dear life. And that’s the bottom line,” she stated.
Wynonna then told fans that “all is well,” adding that she would be heading onto the next leg of her tour.
