Carrie Underwood has officially been announced as a performer for the upcoming presidential inauguration, a moment she describes as an honor and a privilege.
In a heartfelt statement, the country music superstar expressed her excitement about contributing to the significant occasion, saying, “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.”
“I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”
Underwood’s inclusion highlights the event’s effort to bring together notable talent for this pivotal moment in American history.
TMZ confirmed that the American Idol alum will deliver a powerful rendition of “America the Beautiful,” accompanied by the Armed Forces Choir and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club.
The performance will take place following the swearing-in of Vice President-elect J.D. Vance and moments before Donald Trump officially takes the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States.
A leaked program obtained by TMZ, later confirmed as authentic, first hinted at Underwood’s role in the ceremony.
The document revealed her placement in the show order, which promises to feature a blend of patriotism and pageantry.
