Carrie Underwood back on social media after dividing fans with slated performance at Donald Trump inauguration

Carrie Underwood doesn’t shy away from the spotlight during controversies.

The 41-year-old Muskogee native posted a clip on Instagram Stories on Wednesday promoting a collaboration with Cody Johnson after receiving mixed reactions when she announced she would sing America the Beautiful at Donald Trump’s inauguration on 20 January.

Some praised Underwood for responding to the opportunity, while others were angry and saw the outing as tacit support for the controversial new president.

Underwood didn’t acknowledge the feedback in either direction as she promoted a new project with Johnson.

‘I’m excited to share something with you tomorrow!’ the artists say in a joint statement. “YouTube: Set your reminders for 10am CT so you don’t miss it.”

The Grammy-winning country singer was featured with Johnson in the clip for I’m Gonna Love You, their collab released last fall.

The American Idol alumnus will perform before Trump is sworn in at the U.S. Capitol, according to an inaugural program reviewed by the AP on Monday.

The Little Toy Guns singer said in a statement Monday, “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 Before He Cheats singer is looking to kick off “a big year” for her professionally when she joins the American Idol judging panel, sources told Ny Breaking.com earlier this week about her decision to perform.

“This is something she’s very proud of, and the twist she’s putting on it is that she’s doing it for America, and not specifically for Trump,” the insider said.

The insider said Underwood wasn’t focused on the politics of the situation, but on the big platform.

“She does her music for everyone, and she also knows that many of her fans will be watching the inauguration,” the source said, “so this was a no-brainer because she thinks even more good will come from it besides the who will bash her for how it appears to support Trump.

“She knows it will all pass and once again she’s doing it for herself and her loved ones, that she’s doing it for America.”

The source noted that Underwood hoped to bring people together with her genre: “She wants to unite the country, and music is her way of doing that.” She looks broader than all the controversies that have arisen and will arise.’

Regarding her return to the Fox music competition, the source said that Underwood is “a former American Idol and America has made her dreams come true, this is her giving back to the country she loves and that has supported her forever.”

Underwood is one of the artists who will perform when Trump begins his second term.

Others taking the stage in the nation’s capital include the Village People, opera singer Christopher Macchio and God Bless The USA singer Lee Greenwood, who will perform when Trump shows up to take his oath of office.

Rascal Flatts, Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Parker McCollum, Billy Ray Cyrus, Gavin DeGraw and Liberty University’s Praise Choir will also perform.

Trump’s 2017 inauguration featured America’s Got Talent alum Jackie Evancho, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Rockettes, among others.
