Carrie Underwood Faces Backlash After Nabbing Donald Trump Inauguration Gig: 'Incredibly Outrageous'

Carrie Underwood received backlash after it was announced she will be performing at Donald Trump's second presidential inauguration on Monday, January 20.

Political reporter Matthew Foldi shared the picture on X, revealing that the country star, 41, will sing "America the Beautiful" at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.

After the news spread, people quickly took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts about Underwood's upcoming gig.

One person wrote, "People being surprised that Carrie Underwood is a Trump supporter is wild. Like girl. The signs were all there," while another said, "of course Carrie Underwood’s white country a-- is a Trump supporter."

A third person added: "It's incredibly outrageous that Carrie Underwood would show up to play at Trump's inauguration. How can someone who has become famous thanks to the support of millions of people, including a large part of the liberal public, choose to associate herself with a president who has sown so much hatred and division in the country? The song 'America the Beautiful' becomes ironic when performed by someone who chooses to support a leader who has stripped so many communities of their dignity," while a fourth person fumed: "I'm not a country music person, but I always liked some of Carrie Underwood's stuff. Blown Away was really good. But her performing at Trump's inauguration leaves a bitter taste in my mouth."

The "Before He Cheats" songstress will take the stage after J.D. Vance is administered the Vice Presidential Oath of Office, and before Trump, 78, is given the Presidential Oath of Office.

Underwood has yet to reveal if she is a Trump supporter.

“I try to stay far out of politics if possible, at least in public, because nobody wins,” she told The Guardian in 2019.
