Country music star Carrie Underwood felt disrespected and snubbed after performing at Donald Trump’s Presidential Inauguration 2025, allegedly due to limited stage space and technical difficulties.
Underwood was scheduled to perform the national anthem “America The Beautiful”, but faced issues with the sound system and microphone. She switched to an a cappella rendition of the song, which some saw as unprofessional.
Sources close to Underwood claim she felt cramped in the crowded Capitol Rotunda and that her performance was not given the same level of respect as previous performers like Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. The Country music star is said to have had a “hiss fit” after the event.
Despite the setbacks, Underwood’s performance ultimately received positive feedback from the audience, with many praising her talent and ability to adapt under pressure. However, criticism about her decision to perform at Trump’s ceremony remained, with some questioning her association with the former president.
