Yes! And there was a surprise to show you, so listen up…It’s been two decades since the Judds have come together for an unforgettable night.
The Judds—a mother and daughter team whose success began with the hit song “Love Can Build a Bridge”—returned to the TV award show stage on Monday night for the first time in 20 years to perform the popular track.
Surrounded by a white-robed choir, they delivered the classic chorus: “Love can build a bridge / Don’t you think it’s time?
