Ariana Grande “Likes” Post Mocking Carrie Underwood’s Inauguration Performance
Carrie Underwood faced criticism when she chose to sing “America the Beautiful” at Donald Trump’s second inauguration ceremony on Monday. Known for avoiding politics in the past, Underwood had expressed negative sentiments towards Trump before, which left some of her fans taken aback and displeased by her decision. During her performance, the musical track accompanying her failed (as seen in the video below). After an uncomfortable minute of silence, she asked the crowd for help with the lyrics, then bravely continued to sing the song without any backing music. While Underwood’s unwavering professionalism was commended, some viewers took to social media to comment on her visibly strained performance.
