Triumphant Return
Starting with delivering the National Anthem at the Super Bowl Feb. 1, Hudson has made a triumphant return to the spotlight just over three months after her mother, brother and nephew were murdered in Chicago. Her estranged brother-in-law has pleaded innocent to the killings."It's a New Year, she's excited about performing again. She knew it was time," a source close to Hudson told PEOPLE. "Fans can expect the Jennifer they've come to love. She just really loves to perform; it's who she is, it's what she does."
