In April of that year, she made her Grand Ole Opry debut in Nashville.

My mom had it, and my little cousin is going to get it, but I\u2019ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n In June 2023, Wade shared via Instagram<\/a> that she had been diagnosed with Tourette\u2019s syndrome<\/a>. \u201cKeeping this short and sweet \u2014 if you see me shaking my head a lot I have Tourette\u2019s. Some folks genuinely ask \u2014 others like to troll me, is what it is,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI make weird faces and noises sometimes and my head shakes. So just think before you judge.\u201d<\/p>\n Wade noted in the post\u2019s comments that the nervous system disorder causes her to have tics when she is feeling \u201canxious, nervous [or] upset,\u201d but can also sometimes \u201cstart out of nowhere.\u201d She concluded her message by shouting out people \u201cdealing with Tourette\u2019s and living with it every single day \u2764\ufe0f.\u201d<\/p>\n Sign up for Us Weekly’s free, daily newsletter<\/a> and never miss breaking news or exclusive stories about your favorite celebrities, TV shows and more!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n When she\u2019s not writing music or performing on stage, Wade is sharing her passion for fitness with fans via Instagram. \u201cTaking care of myself,\u201d she captioned a June 2023 pic<\/a> of herself showing off her impressive muscles.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n1.
