Country star Carrie Underwood will perform at Trump's inauguration
Source: Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Country music star Carrie Underwood will perform “America the Beautiful” at Donald Trump’s inauguration next week and other performers will include two of the president-elect’s musical favorites, country singer Lee Greenwood and opera singer Christopher Macchio.
Underwood, who launched her career on “American Idol,” is to perform shortly before Trump takes the oath of office at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 20, according to a copy of the inaugural program provided to The Associated Press on Monday.
The pomp and spectacle that comes with the inauguration of a new president kicks off this weekend in Washington with a fireworks show at Trump’s golf club in Sterling, Virginia, a campaign-style rally in D.C., a visit to Arlington National Cemetery and glitzy dinners before the former president takes the oath to become the next president.
Trump’s second inauguration is expected to be a much different affair than the last time America got a new president. Trump, who refused to accept his 2020 loss, did not attend Democratic President Joe Biden’s swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol, where there were still visible reminders of the violent Jan. 6, 2021 siege on the building by Trump’s supporters.

(110,685 posts)The line in the sand is clear. Performing for past run-of-the-mill Republicans would be one thing. Performing to support/enable/celebrate a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, corrupt grifter, and insurrectionist who wants nothing more than to deliver our once thriving democracy to Putin on a platter. NO. Unforgivable in my book.

(That's the standard I apply when deciding if IMHO someone is talented - if they wouldn't make it without their looks, they aren't talented.)

(110,685 posts)now that Vance is suggesting he will find some way to attend, my general non-support/competitor disdain for Ohio State-- which would almost make me not want to watch-- has escalated. I will watch to root for Notre Dame (even though they defeated my beloved GA Dawgs) if I find out he will NOT be there. Otherwise, I guess I can turn off YouTube TV and all but a couple of streaming services early. No way in hell I want to see any of that ilk. I think my BP will spike to near-fatal levels if I hear the voice of TSF, MuSK, Vance, or any of those creeps.
My only question is what will George W. Bush* find to say about "American Carnage 2.0?"

These acts were chosen for their Trump-friendliness, and that's all.

Marian Anderson at Eisenhower inauguration and Leontyne Price at Johnson inauguration were great opera singers.

Funny. When Republicans change their outward appearance to match their inner self-image, that's okay. But when a trans-gender person does it, it's an extinction event.
