Donald Trump has no trouble finding top-notch talent for his second inauguration… Carrie Underwood has been tapped to appear at the swearing-in ceremony, TMZ has learned.
A spokesperson for the Presidential Inauguration Committee confirms to TMZ that the “American Idol” winner will sing a patriotic tune before President-elect Trump is sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.
Underwood's name was listed in what appeared to be a leaked broadcast detailing the show order for Trump's big day… TMZ has also obtained this a copy of the program, and we have confirmed that it is the original.
The country singer will sing “America the Beautiful” … along with the Armed Forces Choir and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club.
Performance will decrease after Veep-elect JD Vance is sworn in and shortly before DT's official return as commander in chief.
Carrie has sung the national anthem at a number of sporting events… just watch her perform the ballad at the Nashville Predators playoff game years ago.
CU isn't the first celebrity to perform an alternative patriotic tune on Inauguration Day. Barbra Streisand sang along to “God Bless America.” Bill ClintonInauguration in 1993, Aretha Franklin belted out “My Country, 'Tis of Thee.” Barack Obama's ceremony in 2009, and Ray Charles sang along to “America the Beautiful.” Ronald ReaganAt the inauguration gala, he was sworn in as POTUS for the second time.
Everything will go down in a week.
