‘Before He Cheats’ Singer Carrie Underwood Inaugurating Donald Trump’s Presidency is the Best Joke That Wasn’t Written
- Donald Trump set to take oath on January 20, 2025.
- Carrie Underwood, Lee Greenwood and Christopher Macchio set to perform at the ceremony.
- Fans are not happy with Underwood's decision.
Singer and songwriter Carrie Underwood is regarded as one of the best-selling music artists of all time and is one of the fifteen highest-certified female artists of all time. Carrie Underwood rose to fame by appearing on American Idol, and now Billboard ranks her as the top female country artist of the 2000s and 2010s. The singer has been highly acclaimed for her vocals, and critics have stated that she is one of the singers who can manage to hit any note. They describe her vocal range as enormous.
Underwood’s fellow country music contemporaries only have positive things to say about the singer. It was recently announced that Carrie Underwood is going to be performing at the inaugural ceremony of Donald Trump, and fans have had some of the most hilarious reactions to it.
Country singer Carrie Underwood to perform America the Beautiful at Donald Trump’s inauguration
According to reports by CNN, country singer Carrie Underwood is all locked in to perform America the Beautiful at Donald Trump’s inauguration scheduled for next week. Other artists who are set to perform include country singer Lee Greenwood and opera singer Christopher Macchio.
Carrie Underwood is slated to perform shortly before Donald Trump takes the oath of office at the U.S. Capitol on January 20, 2025. The singer shared with the publication,
I 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 look to the future.
The singer has mostly kept her political views private, and back in 2019, during an interview with The Guardian, she said that she felt more people tried to pin her to places politically. Underwood explained that she tries to stay away from politics as much as she can because nobody wins. She at the time mentioned that it’s crazy; everybody tries to sum everything up and put a bow on it like it’s black and white, but in reality, it is not like that.
The presidential oath of office is going to be administered by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, and Justice Brett Kavanaugh is expected to administer the oath of office to Vice President-elect JD Vance.
Donald Trump’s second inauguration is expected to be a little different from his first, and it is set to be a four-day event that President Biden is planning to attend. It should be noted that Donald Trump did not attend Joe Biden’s inaugural ceremony, noting he refused to accept his defeat.
Steve Witkoff and Kelly Loeffler, co-chairs of the inaugural committee, shared in a statement that President Trump is dedicated to uniting the country through the strength, security, and opportunity of his America First agenda.
Fans react to Carrie Underwood’s scheduled performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration
Soon after country singer Carrie Underwood was announced to be performing at Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony on January 20, 2025, fans did not waste any time in sharing their reaction to the news. Some social media users speculated if Underwood is going to perform ‘Before he Cheats.’
The song Before He Cheats was released as the fourth single from Underwood’s debut studio album, Some Hearts, in 2005. It was written by Chris Tompkins and Josh Kear and revolves around a woman taking revenge on her unfaithful partner. The song was also linked to a parody song that Underwood sang with Brad Paisley to poke fun at Donald Trump’s Twitter (now X) habits in 2017.
The song also pokes fun at the fact that Donald Trump allegedly had multiple affairs, and fans believe that the song might suit him the best. One of the users mentioned, ‘Gonna be awkward when she performs ‘Before He Cheats.’ Another X user quoted, ‘Oh. I see why he cheated; carry on.’
A third user mentioned, ‘Imagine your first booking in 20 years being for Donald Trump.’ Fans and online users do not seem happy with Carrie Underwood’s decision to perform at the inaugural ceremony. And while there were comments about how they were disappointed with her choice to perform, there were also people who supported her decision, and one of them wrote,
Carrie Underwood performing at Trump’s inauguration is a patriotic move that shows true courage in today’s climate.
Donald Trump’s first inauguration ceremony in 2017 featured performances from the Rockettes, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and 16-year-old singer Jackie Evancho.
