Underwood quiet on political views

Underwood, who rose to fame after winning “American Idol” in 2005, has largely kept her political views out of the spotlight during her career.

“I try to stay far out of politics if possible, at least in public, because nobody wins,” Underwood told the Guardian in 2019.

In 2017, she and Brad Paisley joked about Trump’s social media etiquette during a skit while co-hosting the Country Music Awards. The duo parodied her hit “Before He Cheats” but replaced the lyrics with, “Maybe next time he’ll think before he tweets.”

Online users have mixed opinions about Underwood’s announcement on social media. One person posted to X, “I am boycotting anyone who performs at that narcissist’s inauguration. Carrie Underwood is definitely on that list.”

Another person on X posted, “Good for Carrie Underwood. Entertainers should be able to entertain where they want when they want without reprisals. It is an honor to perform at any inauguration. I know nothing about her politics and don’t care. I am sure she will be great!”

Ahead of Trump’s 2017 inauguration, several big names, including Elton John and Celine Dion, declined invitations to perform.

The inauguration for Trump’s second term is Jan. 20.
