The inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump is primed to be a celebration of American greatness, and who better to usher it in than Carrie Underwood? The reigning queen of country music, who first captivated audiences on American Idol, will perform “America the Beautiful” at the January 20 event. This announcement was made by political reporter Matthew Foldi, who shared a screenshot of the inaugural program on X, confirming suspicions that not all artists shy away from supporting the MAGA movement.

Underwood’s performance, set to feature The Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club, is a fitting tribute to America’s honor and resilience. Nothing like a country music superstar belting out patriotic anthems to remind everyone of the values that make this nation great. In times when it feels like patriotism has taken a backseat, having stars like Underwood embrace their love for the country is refreshing, if not downright heroic.
In addition to Underwood’s stirring rendition, the ceremony will showcase Christopher D. Macchio, a tenor and emerging favorite of the Trump crowd. Macchio is slated to perform the National Anthem along with various selections worth listening to. The last name may sound Italian, but in a country that celebrates diversity, what matters is that he’s willing to stand tall in support of the nation alongside those who embrace the same ideals.
The U.S. Naval Academy Glee Club will also lend their voices, performing the historic “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” reminding the audience of America’s storied past. Meanwhile, choirs from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will contribute a variety of selections, ensuring that the event remains as spirited as a Fourth of July picnic – minus the debates over the latest “woke” agenda, of course.
Carrie Underwood’s rise to stardom since her American Idol days is a testament to hard work, talent, and a little bit of divine intervention. She’s become one of the best-selling artists of all time and is among a roster of country music stars who have courageously crossed into the mainstream without sacrificing their roots. As Underwood steps onto the inauguration stage, she does more than sing; she stands as a beacon for artists who refuse to bow to the pressures of leftist Hollywood, showing that true American talent will always prevail in the land of the free.
