Carrie Underwood performs despite awkward ‘technical malfunction’ at Trump inauguration

She had to rely solely on her vocal skills in the Capitol rotunda after a technical glitch prevented the Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club from accompanying her.

Despite the unexpected challenge, the 41-year-old country music icon handled the situation with grace and composure. However, some fans speculated whether the incident was a random mishap or a deliberate “gotcha” moment aimed at Underwood for agreeing to perform at the contentious event.

As she began her performance, Underwood, dressed in a simple yet elegant gray draped dress and a diamond bracelet, asked the Republican-Democrat audience to “help me out here.”

This unique occasion showcased her vocal prowess and ability to perform under pressure. “I am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event because I love our country,” she said.

“In a time when we must all unite in the spirit of unity and look to the future, I am humbled to answer the call,” she added.
