Carrie Underwood Sings ‘America the Beautiful’ A Cappella After Technical Glitch at Trump’s Inauguration

Carrie Underwood performed at Donald Trump’s inauguration at the U.S. Capitol, following his oath of office and inaugural speech for his second term.

The country superstar’s performance took place after Trump took the oath of office as the 47th president of the United States and made his inauguration speech, beginning his second presidential term. Underwood joins a slate of performers who are taking part in presidential inauguration events, including Lee Greenwood, the Village People, Nelly, Rascal Flatts, Kid Rock, Gavin DeGraw, Jason Aldean and Parker McCollum. Members of the LGBTQ+ community have expressed disapproval with the singer for performing at the event, given that Trump has campaigned for restrictions on trans and queer rights in the United States.
