Why Carrie Underwood ‘doesn’t care’ about Trump inauguration backlash
According to sources, Carrie Underwood seems unconcerned about potential criticism following her performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration, as she is reportedly extremely proud to have had such an opportunity in her career.
The renowned country music star, aged 41, has been planned to perform “America the Beautiful” following the inauguration of Donald Trump and his newly chosen vice president, JD Vance.
When the news about the artist emerged this week, opinions swiftly split among fans, with some expressing admiration for her actions, while others strongly criticized her decision.
Currently, sources close to the situation have shared with DailyMail.com that the celebrity is choosing to focus beyond any contentious issues, as her performance is primarily aimed at representing “America,” rather than any particular individual like Donald Trump.
2021 looks set to be a significant year for Carrie, as she takes on her new role as a judge for American Idol and will also perform at the inauguration, as detailed by the source.
As a devoted supporter, I can attest that this achievement serves as a source of great pride for her. However, she’s choosing to frame it in a way that emphasizes her dedication to our nation, America, rather than any personal affiliations with President Trump.

Speaking further on the topic, the source revealed that the singer comprehends the criticism yet remains unconcerned.
She performs her music for all, understanding that many of her followers will witness the inauguration. Given this opportunity seemed beneficial to her, as she believes it will bring about more positive outcomes than just criticism for appearing to support Trump.
The source stated: ‘She believes everything will eventually be over, and once more, she’s presenting this as her motivation not only for herself but also for those around her – she’s doing it for the sake of America.’
She was once a contestant on American Idol, and America helped make her dreams a reality. Now, she’s paying it forward by showing gratitude to the nation that has always been there for her – her way of giving back to the country she deeply cherishes.
The confidant revealed that the celebrity’s primary goal is to serve as a symbol of unity, as they explained further: “Her ambition is to bring the nation together, and she uses music as her medium for this purpose. She looks beyond any disputes that have arisen or will arise in the future.
Regarding the potential influence of this decision on her tenure as a judge on American Idol, a source clarified that they will not make a fuss about it at all and will fully back her choice instead.
They’re thrilled about her appointment as their new judge, eagerly anticipating the nation rekindling its affection for her once more.
In a public announcement about the event, the performer expressed their affection for their nation, stating they were grateful for being chosen to sing during the inauguration and to contribute modestly to this significant historical occasion.

I’m deeply honored to respond, as it’s crucial that we join forces with unity on our minds, focusing on what lies ahead.
After the Chief of Justice of the United States administers the presidential oath to Trump, Carrie is scheduled to sing a song alongside The Armed Forces Chorus and The United States Naval Academy Glee Club.
In the year 2019, Carrie conversed with The Guardian about politics, expressing her preference to maintain a distance from political matters, particularly in public settings, as she believes no one benefits from getting involved.
She remarked: ‘It’s astonishing. People seem to want to simplify and conclude things, as if they’re clear-cut and straightforward. But it’s rarely so simple.’
Yet, a social media user pointed out that she had made fun of Trump during a 2017 skit alongside her CMAs co-host, Brad Paisley, in the past.
As a die-hard fan here, Brad, I felt compelled to mention something that might have slipped your notice. Seems like the Country Music Association (CMA) has dropped some “suggestions” regarding certain subjects we should steer clear of, as per their recent guidelines. Hope this info reaches you during our live broadcast!

She mentioned that, due to the politics-free nature of this year’s event, we won’t be performing our lighthearted tunes.
At that moment, Brad commences strumming the guitar and croons along rhythmically to Carrie Underwood’s tune Before He Cheats, but with fresh verses.
Currently, it’s likely that he’s comfortably dressed in casual clothes, engrossed in a cable news program, and grabbing his phone. Right about now, he might be querying Siri about the correct spelling of Pocahontas, according to Brad’s song.
Carrie reacted simply with: ‘Well, here we go.’
