Carrie Underwood hit a snag and had to sing a capella at Donald Trump's inauguration. She soared with her rendition of "America the Beautiful"

The audience, including outgoing President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, sang along with country singer for her performance of “America the Beautiful” during Trump’s inauguration ceremony.

Many people are calling out one specific moment during Carrie Underwood's time on stage at the 2025 inauguration.

In a gray dress with diamond jewelry, Underwood confidently worked through the song. She stood just in front of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as she sang, and afterward, as she thanked the crowd for singing with her, Biden could be seen mouthing "Good job" to her.

With the help of backing vocals from the Armed Forces Choir and the inauguration audience, Underwood sang "America the Beautiful" a cappella. When Underwood finished her performance, she was met with a congratulatory handshake from President Trump and former President Joe Biden.

Trump has long struggled to get high-wattage celebrities to perform at his events. In 2017, the list of musicians who reportedly turned down performing at Trump’s first inauguration included Elton John, Garth Brooks, Celine Dion, Idina Menzel and KISS.

The "American Idol" alum was afforded a global audience when she performed at President Donald Trump's swearing-in ceremony.

Carrie Underwood says she strove for “unity” by performing at President Donald Trump’s inauguration, but she apparently didn’t win over fellow pop artist Ariana Grande. Underwood sang “America the Beautiful” without musical accompaniment due to an unspecified issue with the audio system.
