Wynonna Judd revealed she is raising her granddaughter, Kaliyah, following her daughter Grace Kelley’s legal woes.

The country music star, 60, talked about her new role on “Today with Jenna & Friends” Thursday, saying she does not “watch television unless it’s planned” for the 2-year-old.

When co-host Jenna Bush Hager asked Judd what type of shows they watch together, the “No One Else on Earth” singer said Kaliyah is not interested in cartoons but does like Ms. Rachel.

“I’m about to lose my mind,” she joked before Bush Hager added that she likes the YouTuber because her kids — Mila, 11, Poppy, 9, Hal, 5 — constantly “switch to” it.

“I do, too. I just can’t talk like that. I wish I could be that animated, but I just don’t know how,” Judd continued.

The Grammy winner also talked about living at her Nashville farm, which she described as “simple and sweet.”

“[It] is what we need more of. We don’t do phones at dinner,” she told Bush Hager. “And I do what I have to do to learn how to just live off the road. ‘Cause I was on the road at 17, so I never got to learn how to do life outside of show business. Food, family and fun is my goal.”

Judd announced the birth of her first grandchild in May 2022 via Instagram, telling her fans that Kaliyah had arrived on April 13, two weeks before her mom, Naomi Judd, died by suicide at age 76.

Since then, she has shared a few glimpses of life with her granddaughter, which include going for long walks on their family farm and cuddles at home.

Wynonna has had to take over as Kaliyah’s caretaker after her daughter was arrested multiple times since 2015.

Just last year, Kelley, 28, was taken into police custody for indecent exposure before being put in handcuffs a second for attempting to flee an officer.

Then, in April, she was charged with soliciting prostitution, indecent exposure and obstructing governmental operations after standing near a highway while exposing her chest and lower body.

At the time, she was holding up a sign that read “Ride for a Ride.”

After that, Page Six revealed Kelley had been arrested again in August for fleeing or attempting to elude an officer, driving with a suspended/revoked license and using motorcycle equipment improperly.

Her long history of crime, however, began in 2015 with drug-related charges.

In 2018, Kelley was sentenced to eight years in prison for violating her probation. Although she was released in early 2019, she ended up in jail again two years later for another violation.
