Country superstar Carrie Underwood says she’s “honored” to perform “America The Beautiful” at Donald Trump’s inauguration celebration next week in Washington D.C.
“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,” Underwood said, according to The Associated Press. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”
A Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee spokesperson told Fox News Digital Underwood will perform during the swearing-in ceremony for President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance.
Also set to perform Lee Greenwood and The Village People, whose hits “Y.M.C.A.” and “Macho Man” are in frequent rotation at Trump rallies and events.
Village People shared a statement on Facebook on Monday. “We know this won’t make some of you happy to hear however we believe that music is to be performed without regard to politics,” the band said.
“Our song Y.M.C.A. is a global anthem that hopefully helps bring the country together after a tumultuous and divided campaign where our preferred candidate lost,” they continued. “Therefore, we believe it’s now time to bring the country together with music which is why VILLAGE PEOPLE will be performing at various events as part of the 2025 Inauguration of Donald J. Trump.”
