Her step-father, Larry Strickland, sang bass with The King for six years and was a member of the gospel quartet, J.D. Sumner and the Stamps. Judd expressed her pride in her step-father's induction into the Hall of Graceland Legends, and shared a video of her playing from the albums he recorded with Elvis. She also reminisced about being invited on stage to harmonize with Ann-Margret during Graceland's 50th anniversary celebration and shared more stories from her childhood with the King.",
