Ariana Grande vs Carrie Underwood wasn’t on our 2025 bingo card, but we’ll take it!
Infamously, the country singer agreed to sing at Trump’s inauguration.
While it wasn’t the worst thing to happen on Monday, it also didn’t go as planned. Underwood ended up singing a capella.
And it appears that one of the greatest voices on the planet is shading her over doing a less-than-impressive job.
When Carrie Underwood sang ‘America The Beautiful,’ she sang a capella
In a moment that seemed like heavy-handed symbolism for Donald Trump retaking power, the music for America The Beautiful did not play.
Carrie Underwood sang the song using only her own voice (and a microphone), improvising the a capella performance when it was clear that the equipment would not be a quick fix.
Numerous political figures attended the inauguration, including (now former) Vice President Kamala Harris. And some on social media believed (or merely projected their own opinions) that she did not find Underwood’s rendition to be impressive.
