Carrie Underwood was the first performer to perform after Donald J. Trump<\/p>\n
gave his 30-minute inaugural address, marking the beginning of his second term as President of the United States.<\/p>\n
The singer was standing in front of former President Joe Biden and Vice President<\/p>\n
Kamala Harris. She was to sing \u201cAmerica the Beautiful\u201d when they ran into a technical<\/p>\n
issue with the singer\u2019s background music which forced her to go a capella with the song.<\/p>\n
She did not let the technical malfunction faze her as she hit the big notes in the song seamlessly.<\/p>\n
The singer wore a sleeveless white dress which draped over her. She hit the notes<\/p>\n
beautifully and a lot of people who were gathered in the Capitol Rotunda sang along with her.<\/p>\n
After Underwood concluded her singing, she shook Biden\u2019s hand, who seemed to<\/p>\n
have mouthed the words \u201cgreat job\u201d to her. Carrie Underwood then shook hands<\/p>\n
with President Donald Trump and vice president JD Vance.<\/p>\n
The country music superstar\u2019s participation in the inauguration day celebrations<\/p>\n
was not appreciated by everyone. She said in a statement, \u201cI love our country and<\/p>\n
am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part<\/p>\n
of this historic event. I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must<\/p>\n
all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Many of those who were disappointed in the singer were from the LGBTQ+ community<\/p>\n
who had considered Carrie Underwood an ally because of her 2017 son, \u201cLove Wins.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lyrics of the song criticized divisive politics, \u201cPolitics and prejudice\/How<\/p>\n
the hell\u2019d it ever come to this?\u201d and \u201cWhen everybody\u2019s got to pick a side\/It don\u2019t<\/p>\n
matter if you\u2019re wrong or right.\u201d The song was considered to signal that Underwood supported same-sex marriage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
