The redhead from Ashland, Ky., began her singing career as one-half of the mother-daughter duo The Judds, alongside her late mother, Naomi Judd. (Naomi died at 76 in late April 2022.)
Together, Wynonna and Naomi released hits like "Mama He's Crazy," "Love Can Build a Bridge," "Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days)," and more. Wynonna embarked on a solo career in 1991 and has continued to make a permanent mark on country music with tracks like "No One Else on Earth," "She Is His Only Need," "I Saw the Light," and "Tell Me Why," among others.
Wynonna has also managed to snag five Grammy Awards during her four-decade career. On May 1, 2022, she was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame as a member of The Judds-just one day after Naomi's death. Her sister, actress Ashley Judd, also attended the event to help accept the honor in their mother's place.
Ahead of turning 62, the country icon announced earlier in May a joint tour with rock legend Melissa Etheridge called the Raised On Radio Tour. The duo will embark on the 27-date event on June 24 in Vienna, Va., and wrap up on Sept. 11 in Allegan, Mich.

"I've spent my entire adult life onstage, but before any of that, I was just a girl sitting close to a radio speaker, hanging on every word," Wynonna said in a news release. "That's where it all started for me. Raised On Radio isn't just a tour name-it's my roots and wings. It's late nights with the dial turned low, chasing distant stations through the static. It's songs that felt like they understood me before I understood myself."
She added, "The radio was my teacher, my comfort, my escape. The songs playing through that radio shaped me as a dreamer and an artist. This tour is about going back to that feeling and sharing it with you."
Happy birthday, Wynonna!
