Carrie Underwood is gearing up to perform at President-elect Donald Trump's swearing-in ceremony. Throughout her 20-year career, the "All-American Girl" crooner has mostly avoided voicing her political opinions.

Carrie Underwood, Snoop Dogg and Nelly have faced backlash for agreeing to perform at Donald Trump ’s inauguration party and related events. Underwood, 41, will sing America the Beautiful at the bash on Monday night and said last week that she feels “honored” to be part of a “historic event” at the US Capitol.
