Carrie Underwood<\/strong> was faced with an awkward and long, silent moment on live TV due to a technical issue. Find out what she did below!<\/p>\n Carrie Underwood sang \u201cAmerica the Beautiful\u201d after Trump delivered his inaugural address. However, it didn\u2019t go as planned. The singer awkwardly stood before the crowd, waiting for the music to begin. The room was silent, and the singer showed that she felt uncomfortable by the long wait through her body language. An official came over and she asked him, \u201cam I live?\u201d He shook his head up and down as a \u201cyes,\u201d and she told him, \u201cI\u2019ll just sing it.\u201d Then she desperately told the audience: \u201cYou know the words. Help me out here.\u201d The singer made a rash decision to go a capella, and the audience sang along. Once she finished, she applauded the audience for their participation. Joe Biden, who was seated behind her on stage, told her \u201cgreat job,\u201d according to USA Today<\/em><\/a>. Carrie then went on to shake hands with Donald Trump<\/strong> and JD Vance<\/strong> before exiting.<\/p>\n Carrie shared her reaction to getting to perform at the inauguration with Yahoo<\/a>, and stated: \u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Carrie has never confirmed which political party she is associated with. In 2019, Carrie shared with The Guardian<\/a><\/em>: \u201cI feel like more people try to pin me places politically. I try to stay far out of politics if possible, at least in public because nobody wins. It\u2019s crazy. Everybody tries to sum everything up and put a bow on it, like it\u2019s black and white. And it\u2019s not like that.\u201d In 2017, Carrie and Brad Paisley<\/strong> performed a parody of her popular song \u201cBefore He Cheats,\u201d while they hosted the Country Music Association Awards, according to People<\/em><\/a>. They sang, \u201cAnd it\u2019s fun to watch yeah, that\u2019s for sure\/ \u2018Til little Rocket Man starts a nuclear war\/ Maybe next time, he\u2019ll think before he tweets.\u201d<\/p>\n Besides Carrie, opera singer Christopher Macchio<\/strong> performed \u201cO America,\u201d and the national anthem, during the inauguration. Country singer Lee Greenwood<\/strong> also performed \u201cGod Bless the U.S.A,\u201d prior to Trump taking his oath of office.<\/p>\n \n\t\t<\/div>\nWhat Happened to Carrie Underwood at the 2025 Inauguration?<\/h2>\n
