Carrie Underwood Set to Perform at Trump’s Second Inauguration
Donald Trump’s second inauguration is gearing up to be a star-studded event, with country superstar Carrie Underwood headlining the ceremony. The “American Idol” winner is confirmed to perform “America the Beautiful” alongside the Armed Forces Choir and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club.
According to a leaked program obtained by TMZ and verified as authentic, Underwood’s performance will take place moments before President-elect Trump is officially sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. Vice President-elect J.D. Vance will also be inaugurated earlier in the ceremony.
Underwood, no stranger to delivering powerful renditions of patriotic songs, joins a storied tradition of performers at presidential inaugurations. Notable past acts include Barbra Streisand at Bill Clinton’s 1993 ceremony, Aretha Franklin at Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration, and Ray Charles at Ronald Reagan’s second swearing-in gala.
The event is set to take place just one week from today, promising a mix of patriotism, music, and history.
