Carrie Underwood Named ‘One Of The Greats’ After Performance

Carrie Underwood was praised for turning what could have been an awkward moment into an unforgettable moment during President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Underwood was supposed to perform “America The Beautiful” at the inauguration, but had to endure an unpleasant wait due to technical difficulties.

The country singer was reportedly criticized for accepting to perform at Trump’s inauguration, but remained unfazed, calling it an honor.

Underwood looked stunningly gorgeous on Monday as she stepped out at the inauguration. She wore a simple but beautiful sleeveless gray dress which she paired with matching stilettos and flaunted her blonde hair.

However, when it was time for her performance, she had to wait as an apparent technical problem with the music persisted.

There seemed to be no end in sight when a burst of music hit, but it was short lived. This prompted Underwood to perform the song A cappella.

After it was revealed that Underwood would perform at Trump’s inauguration, she was reportedly criticized by “American Idol” producers.

Producers were reportedly on edge that her appearance, which came more than a month before the show premiered on March 9, would cause a backlash and lower ratings after the inauguration.

An insider said it Sun USA“I don’t think anyone on the show knew about Carrie singing at the inauguration before it came out, it caught them all by surprise.

They added: “It doesn’t conflict with any of her Idol filming dates and it’s before this season airs, so it doesn’t conflict with anything in her contract. But there are producers who don’t approve and are concerned.”

According to a source, “American Idol” producers were worried fans would boycott the show because of Underwood’s decision to perform at the inauguration.

They said: “Many viewers are already talking about a boycott, whether it’s true or just noise will be seen after the ratings come in, but the conversation Idol is bringing now is not what the producers want. They don’t want the show to happen political, they want it to be an escape from that.”

The former “American Idol” winner and newest judge previously spoke about her love for the country and expressed that she was honored to perform for it at the inauguration.

She said in a statement: “I love our country and am honored to be asked to sing at the inauguration and be a small part of this historic event.”

Underwood concluded, “Humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in a spirit of unity and look to the future.”

Although some people might feel that Underwood’s decision to perform at the inauguration could signify her support for Donald Trump, the 41-year-old singer has previously spoken about her determination to stay out of politics.

In a 2019 interview with The Guardianshe said: “I feel like more people are trying to pin me down politically. I try to stay away from politics as much as possible, at least in public, because nobody wins.”

Underwood added, “It’s crazy. Everyone tries to sum everything up and put a bow on it like it’s black and white. And it’s not.”
