Ariana Grande liked a post that seemingly shaded Carrie Underwood's performance of "America the Beautiful" at Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday, Jan. 20.

The "American Idol" alum was afforded a global audience when she performed at President Donald Trump's swearing-in ceremony.

Carrie Underwood and The Village People are among the artists who performed for President Donald Trump's Inauguration Day.

The “American Idol” winner, 41, was slated to sing “America the Beautiful” at the ceremony inside the US Capitol with the accompaniment of the Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club. However, she was ultimately left without a band or an instrumental track.

Lee Greenwood, who sang “God Bless the U.S.A.” at Monday’s inauguration, defended Underwood amid the backlash.

A new camera angle shows that Carrie Underwood wasn't asked to sing "America the Beautiful" a cappella. She made the call herself.

Anyways, she hasn’t made any public statements since then, though her fellow country musician Jason Aldean, who has been a very public supporter of President Trump for years and performed at the Liberty Ball on Monday evening, had high praise for his duet partner (they teamed up on their #1 hit “If I Didn’t Love You” in 2021).

Carrie Underwood sang “America the Beautiful” a cappella at Donald Trump ‘s swearing-in ceremony during Monday’s 2025 inauguration. The singer was dressed in a sleeveless midi dress with a small, draped collar and light ruching down the front.

The “Wicked” star had endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

Carrie Underwood has returned to social media following her technical glitch during President Trump's swearing-in ceremony. The American Idol judge took to Instagram to promote her upcoming concert that is set to air on Hulu on Friday.
