Carrie Underwood triumphs at Trump inauguration after musical mishap
2025-01-21
[FOX] Not only did Carrie Underwood display her musical chops to the world at the inauguration of President Donald Trump on Monday, but she also flaunted her professional prowess.

Tapped to perform "America the Beautiful" at the 60th Presidential Inauguration Day Ceremony, held this year inside the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, Underwood was escorted inside and awaited her musical cue to begin singing in front of Trump, his family, distinguished politicians and other celebrities.

But no cue would come.

For a fleeting moment, an instrumental track played before cutting out. Underwood, positioned in front of former President Biden, quickly ascertained that something was awry, leaving her to improvise. Video circulating online shows the country star speaking with someone on the production team saying, "I can just sing it."

#9  Ohhh miii.

Along those lines, I get Musk's participation, if one believe Zecky's participation because of government coercion, but Bezos didn't quite make sense until realized that Amazon dumped some $1Billion on Rings of Power vanity project which was absolutely ruined by woke DEI requirements. That flagship project was worm eaten before even launching.

Not the biggest fan of Underwood by far, but I wouldn't put it past an Airplane! "pulling the power plug" gag scene to make an embarrassment disruption, and she Judo rolled with it expertly.

#5  Oh, stupid me, elsewhere I called her "Kelly Clarkson"! I don't know one from the other, anyway, I did notice Old Joe checking her out from top to bottom. FJB!

#4  Underwood's performance was probably much better without it.

That's just sloppy, Abu.
