Singers Stand Up for Carrie Underwood After Trump Inauguration News

When Carrie Underwood, a country music superstar, agreed to sing "America the Beautiful" at Donald Trump's inauguration, she sparked a lot of debate online. Many people were upset, but other celebrities came to her defense. Country singer John Rich was one of them. He praised Underwood on social media, saying she's a patriot and should be proud of her decision. Journalists and TV hosts also spoke up. T. J. Holmes and Amy Robach from the Amy & T. J. podcast talked about it on their show. Holmes said performing at an inauguration is a beautiful event that happens every four years in the U. S. , and it doesn't matter who the president is. Robach added that Underwood made the right decision for herself. Whoopi Goldberg and Alyssa Farah Griffin from The View also supported Underwood. They said everyone has the right to make their own choices, and people can show their disagreement by not listening to her music or going to her concerts. Underwood herself said she loves her country and is honored to be part of this historic event. Some fans and critics took to social media to express their disappointment. They said Underwood's decision was surprising, and they thought she stood for love and acceptance, not hate and judgment. Some even said they would boycott her music. But others applauded her decision, saying it's not a big deal to perform at an inauguration, and everyone should respect her choice. The inauguration is set to happen on January 20, with opera singer Christopher D. Macchio performing the national anthem.
