Carrie Underwood to Perform at Trump Inauguration

Carrie Underwood is set to perform 'America the Beautiful' at President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025, an event she describes as an opportunity to promote unity in the country. Despite her generally apolitical stance, Underwood faced criticism from fans who viewed her performance as a political endorsement. The Village People will also perform, emphasizing their belief in music's power to bring people together despite their previous political preferences. Underwood defended her decision by stating her honor in participating in this historic event and her hope for national unity moving forward. Other performers at the inauguration include Lee Greenwood and Christopher Macchio, with Greenwood set to sing as Trump walks out to take the oath. Underwood's upcoming appearance continues the tradition of country music at presidential inaugurations, a trend seen in previous ceremonies.
