  Hi there!

  If I’ve properly understood your intentions, you will need Domain Mapping to do that.

  Every WordPress free plan blog comes with a “.wordpress.com” extension. If you want to use a custom domain, like in your case the one you own with GoDaddy, you will need an upgraded plan on your site in order to map a domain. A Personal Plan will do, but you need to add the plan first. If you add the domain first, Premium is selected automatically. Have a look at the relevant support guide about Domain Mapping, to learn how to do that.
  In the steps to follow in the support guide, you will read that you have the option to either ask your domain provider to update your DNS settings or update the DNS yourself. If you want to update them by yourself, here are the instructions for GoDaddy(in case this is what you specifically were looking for).

  Also you can read the general guide about domains here.

  Hope this helps! Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions or need some more help! :)
