At President Trump’s second inauguration, Carrie Underwood faced a technical issue while performing “America the Beautiful” when the background music malfunctioned. She continued by singing a cappella, flawlessly hitting every note. Wearing a sleeveless white dress,
her performance was well-received, with many attendees singing along. Afterward, she shook hands with President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite praise from Biden, some in the LGBTQ+ community criticized her involvement, citing her 2017 song “Love Wins,” which supported same-sex marriage. Underwood responded, expressing her pride in contributing to the event and promoting unity.
