Did She Really Go Bald? Fans Are Convinced After Jennifer Hudson’s Stunning AMAs Appearance!
This past weekend, during the American Music Awards 50th Anniversary special, Jennifer Hudson enthralled the crowd. Even though she gave her typical amazing singing performance, her haircut was the one that really got people talking.
It may be puzzling that a celebrity’s new hairdo would create such a sensation, but Hudson’s look had nothing to do with a daring new cut or color for the occasion. Rather, admirers of the 43-year-old vocalist conveyed their conviction that she had entirely shaved her head. We can confirm that, contrary to what many social media users thought, Jennifer Hudson has not truly gone “bald,” even though we are convinced she would still look amazing.
Legends like Mariah Carey, Nelly, and Nile Rodgers performed on Sunday night (October 6) to commemorate the American Music Awards’ 50th anniversary.
Fans’ confusion about the current artists’ lack of recognition during the ceremony dominated much of the conversation around the event. The simple answer is that the normal AMAs will now take place in March 2025 instead of as scheduled. As the name suggests, Sunday’s event was an anniversary special celebrating the awards’ half-century of relevance in the music business.
The surprises didn’t stop there, as Jennifer Hudson, 43, attracted a lot of attention with her presence.
For the occasion, the Dreamgirls actress chose a figure-hugging, glossy gown that emphasized her silhouette and exuded elegance.
One of the night’s most watched videos saw Hudson introducing Mariah Carey to the AMA stage. People on social media reacted angrily to her appearance in the clip, believing that she had cut off her hair.
On Instagram, someone wrote, “Not me thinking she went bald although she would look stunning.”
To the same post, another person replied, “Same. But she looks good in it. If she ever does, that is.
“Me too! I thought I was the only one haha until I saw the pony tail [sic],” a third person said.
“What made me believe Miss Hudson was bald? However, I think that would look fantastic,” remarked a fourth user.
“Jen, I thought you went bald for a minute,” a fifth person said.
One commenter said, “Lord thank God [..] she didn’t go bald.” Another said, ” “I thought she was rocking the bald look,” said another person.
It’s possible that fans remember Hudson’s 2015 bald hairdo. The singer at the time captioned a selfie she had uploaded to Instagram with her hair pulled back, saying, “Who needs hair when you’re serving face!”
Recall that the centerpiece of Hudson’s AMAs performance ought to have been her stirring rendition of “I Will Always Love You,” a smash song made popular by Whitney Houston in the 1992 movie The Bodyguard.
Prior to her amazing performance, Hudson was questioned about her relationship with the late Whitney. “What is my connection to Whitney Houston?” she asked in response. The gospel, you know, the presence, is a gift, in my opinion. I was just struck by it at a young age. I doubt that there was ever a moment when I was unaware of Whitney.”

So, I sold it. The buyer, Ben, seemed like a good guy—enthusiastic about fixing up the place. We shook hands, and just like that, the house, along with its memories, was no longer mine.
A week later, I received a letter via courier. To my surprise, it was in my grandfather’s handwriting. The paper was yellowed with age, as if it had been sitting, waiting for the right moment to be delivered. My hands shook as I opened it. The message was simple but intriguing: “Check the basement of the house.”
Without wasting time, I called Ben. “Hey, it’s Alex. I need to come by the house—there’s something I need to check in the basement.”
Ben, a little puzzled but still friendly, replied, “Sure, come over. The basement’s just as you left it.”
When I arrived, I barely recognized the house. Ben had already started making improvements. The yard was cleared, and the house had a fresh coat of paint. He greeted me at the door, and we headed straight to the basement. It was still dimly lit and musty, filled with cobwebs and old furniture. Ben watched me search, amused but curious.
“You sure your grandfather wasn’t just messing with you?” he joked.
I was beginning to wonder the same thing. But then, I noticed a loose brick in the wall. Behind it was a small, dusty box containing old letters and a key. Ben peered over my shoulder. “What do you think that key unlocks?” he asked.
“I’m not sure,” I replied. But I had a feeling it was important. After thanking Ben, I took the box and key home, determined to figure out the mystery.
The next day, I returned to the house with a plan. As Ben opened the door, surprised to see me again, I made a bold offer. “Ben, I’d like to buy the house back.”
He raised an eyebrow. “Really? I thought you said it was a burden.”
Taking a deep breath, I explained. “At first, I thought selling was the right choice. But after receiving my grandfather’s letter, I’ve realized this house means more than I ever thought. It’s not just a building; it’s part of my family’s history, a legacy I need to preserve. I can’t let it go.”
Ben considered for a moment. “Well, I’ve already put in a lot of work. You’d have to offer more than what you sold it for.”
I knew this wouldn’t be easy. “How about five grand more?”
Ben shook his head. “Not enough. The market’s good, and I could sell it for a profit. How about twenty grand more?”
My heart sank. Twenty grand was a lot. But I couldn’t lose the house now. “Deal,” I said, though it hurt to agree.
Over the next week, I finalized the paperwork to buy the house back. During this time, I met Clara, a local historian with a passion for old homes. Over coffee, I shared the story of my grandfather’s house, and she was instantly intrigued.
“Your grandfather sounds incredible,” Clara said. “If you ever need help restoring the house or researching its history, I’d love to assist.”
I gratefully accepted her offer. Clara’s enthusiasm breathed new life into my project. Together, we spent hours sifting through old documents, photos, and memories, piecing together the story of the house and its significance.
Finally, with the house back in my name, I returned to the basement, key in hand. Moving aside an old wardrobe, I discovered a hidden door. The key fit perfectly. Behind the door was a small room, and in the center was a modest chest. My heart raced as I opened it, expecting treasure.
Instead, I found a letter in my grandfather’s familiar handwriting and an old poker chip.
The letter read: “I knew you would sell the house, you fool! I always taught you to honor your ancestors and remember your roots. Yet, you sold it off without a second thought. Let this be a lesson to you.”
At the bottom, in a playful tone, it said: “P.S. I put something in here, so here’s an old poker chip—worthless! Consider it a lucky charm.”
I sat there, the letter in hand, disappointed at first, but then understanding hit me. My grandfather, ever the trickster, had orchestrated this whole experience to teach me a valuable lesson. The house wasn’t just about property or money—it was about honoring the past and valuing what truly matters.
With a renewed sense of purpose, I decided to keep the house and turn it into a family retreat. What I once saw as a burden now felt like a treasure—a connection to my roots and a place where future memories would be made.
Over the months that followed, the house underwent a transformation. With Clara’s help, I restored it, blending its old charm with fresh beginnings. The house, once dilapidated, became a place of laughter and love—a symbol of family heritage.
As the final touches were added, Clara and I grew closer, spending more and more time together. The house wasn’t just a part of my past anymore—it had become a symbol of our future, a place filled with love, memories, and the lessons my grandfather had so cleverly imparted.
In the end, my grandfather had left me far more than a house. He’d left me a legacy, a lesson about family, roots, and the importance of holding on to the things that truly matter.
