Country music star Carrie Underwood will perform at President-elect Trump's inauguration next week, Trump's transition team confirmed to Axios Monday.
Why it matters: Underwood is a more high-profile performer than the musical guests at Trump's 2017 inauguration, signaling that the entertainment industry's hesitance to embrace Trump has thawed since he left office.
The big picture: One of the staples of a presidential inauguration is a musical performance by a buzzy musical star, and this year the honor will go to Underwood, who is set to perform a rendition of "America the Beautiful."
The Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club will accompany her.
A representative from CAA, which represents Underwood, did not provide Axios with comment before publication.
Flashback: Trump's 2017 inauguration day featured performances from the Radio City Rockettes and Jackie Evancho, a former runner-up on "America's Got Talent."
In 2017, the inaugural committee faced difficulties finding guests willing to perform at the celebration.

Maybe she will include some "giveaway" in the Trump bible.

(213 posts)Many news headlines are saying that she has officially come out as MAGA with this performance. Fan reactions will be interesting..
Also she is supposed to be a big time Christian yet she is supporting someone who is a felon, sexual predator and racist.

(1,898 posts)she won it anyway due to her photogenic good looks. Just barely passable on country songs and terrible at all other genres. She's improved minimally since then, but still robotic. Country music fans are generally not a demanding bunch. And from all accounts I've read she is hell to work for or to work with. Her bland, soulless vocals are appropriate for that event.

(5,312 posts)some viewers to skip the show. Im very disappointed in Carrie. I watched her season. She definitely had the voice but she was so awkward on stage. It made it hard to root for her. I was a Bo Bice fan. Even attended two of his concerts after the show. Cut him completely off once I found out he was a Trumper during the 2016 election season.
