"Okay, so they say 'don't read the comments,'" Judd said. "I've read the comments and I'm just gonna come clean with y'all."

Apparently, she just had the jitters.

"I was so freaking nervous. I got out there and I looked at Jelly Roll — I wanted it to be so good for him."

The country star adds that she's "such a fan" of Jelly Roll and was grateful he asked her to sing with him. Watch Judd's TikTok here.
