Carrie Underwood is set to perform “America the Beautiful” at U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. Trump’s transition team confirmed this news to political outlet Axios, mentioning that the Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club will join her during the performance. A program detailing the events of Trump’s inauguration has been circulating on social media, with Underwood scheduled to perform just before Trump takes the Presidential Oath of Office. Despite not publicly endorsing a candidate in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Underwood has refrained from sharing her political views with her fans. In 2021, her husband Mike Fisher, a former professional ice hockey player for the Nashville Predators, voiced support for football quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ decision to not receive the COVID-19 vaccine. This stance was supported by Underwood’s “like” on Fisher’s social media post expressing his opinions. While Underwood remains relatively silent on political matters, several other country artists have openly supported Trump for the 2024 election.
The most notable of these supporters is Jason Aldean, along with his wife Brittany, who are personal friends and supporters of Trump. Aldean even introduced Trump at a rally in Georgia during his candidacy. Other country stars who have shown support for the president-elect include Chris Janson, Kid Rock, Hank Williams Jr., and others. Trump’s inauguration ceremony is scheduled for Jan. 20 on Inauguration Day.
