Country Star Carrie Underwood Addresses Controversy Surrounding Inauguration Performance

Carrie Underwood has finally broken her silence regarding the backlash she received after it was announced that she would be performing at President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

In a statement to Billboard, the country superstar expressed her gratitude for being chosen to sing “America the Beautiful” during the historic event. She emphasized the importance of unity and looking towards the future, stating: “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.”

Underwood’s decision to perform at Trump’s inauguration sparked outrage among many fans on social media, with some even referencing her hit song “Before He Cheats” in their criticism. Additionally, some fans called out Kelly Clarkson as being more deserving of the opportunity.

It appears that the backlash did not deter Underwood from her commitment to performing, as she chose to ignore the negativity and instead focus on the significance of the event.

In a year filled with controversy and division, Underwood’s message of unity is refreshing. It remains to be seen if this will silence the critics, but it is clear that the singer-songwriter is not letting the hate dictate her actions.
