Carrie Underwood defended her performance at Trump's inauguration, stating, "I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event. I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future." The singer emphasized a sense of duty and hope for national unity amid divisive times.
Commentators noted that during Underwood's performance, a full minute of silence occurred due to audio issues, prompting her to encourage the audience to sing along, saying, "If you know the words, help me out here." This moment underscored the tension and challenges of performing under politically charged circumstances.
The reception of Underwood's performance was polarized; while some praised her talent despite the technical difficulties, others mocked the situation, indicating the stark divide in public opinion regarding Trump's presidency and the events surrounding it.
