**Carrie Underwood to Perform at Trump’s Inauguration Amidst Backlash**
Country music star Carrie Underwood has confirmed that she will perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025. Underwood is slated to sing “America the Beautiful” during the event, a decision that has generated considerable public reaction.
Underwood’s participation in the inauguration has been met with criticism, particularly from various groups, including some of her LGBT+ fans. The backlash highlights the sensitive nature of her involvement in the political event, despite Underwood’s typical stance of refraining from political commentary. While Underwood has generally avoided political involvement, she has expressed her honor at being invited to perform and hopes for unity and looking toward the future.
This controversy is not the first for Underwood. She previously faced backlash in 2021 for “liking” an anti-mask video on Twitter, which drew criticism from many quarters.
Interestingly, while Underwood has accepted the invitation, artists like Kid Rock and Jason Aldean, known Trump supporters, were noticeably absent from the lineup.
Underwood’s decision has sparked a public debate, with the reaction from fans described as explosive and sharply divided. Some praise her choice to perform, while others express disappointment or anger, showcasing the polarized views surrounding the event.
