WASHINGTON (AP) — Carrie Underwood might not be Beyoncé or Garth Brooks in the celebrity superstar ecosystem. But the singer’s participation in President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration is nevertheless a sign of the changing tides, where mainstream entertainers, from Nelly to The Village People are more publicly and more enthusiastically associating with the new administration.
Country music mega star Carrie Underwood was set to sing “America the Beautiful” at the second inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on Monday and mere moments before she was ready to sing, an audio soundtrack issue nearly derailed everything. That is, until the “American Idol” star belted the song out a cappella.
Three-time Grammy-winning rapper Nelly will perform at one of President-elect Donald Trump’s three official inaugural balls on Monday.
A host of big-name performers including Kid Rock and country singer Jason Aldean will be making their way to Washington, D.C., to perform at various presidential inauguration events over the weekend. The Trump Vance Inaugural Committee unveiled most of the lineup Wednesday.
The entertainment for Donald Trump’s inauguration is coming into focus, first with country star Carrie Underwood, and now with The Village People.
