Whoopi Goldberg Defends Carrie Underwood Over Trump Inauguration Performance: ‘I Stand Behind Her’
Whoopi Goldberg defended Carrie Underwood over the Donald Trump inauguration, which the country star will perform at. See what Whoopi said.
While speaking to her The View cohosts Tuesday (Jan. 14), the Sister Act star acknowledged that though she personally doesn’t align with the president-elect’s policies, the American Idol alum has every right to perform wherever she sees fit. Goldberg’s remarks come just one day after Billboard confirmed that Underwood would take the stage at Trump’s fast-approaching presidential inauguration, a poignant move considering that the eight-time Grammy winner has refrained from sharing her political views throughout her career. Her decision sparked immediate backlash from people who oppose Trump, but the “Before He Cheats” singer explained in a statement, “I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event.”
