Renowned country music star Carrie Underwood will take center stage at Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony on January 20. The event will include two major musical performances: Underwood will perform America the Beautiful with the prestigious Armed Forces Choir, and opera singer Christopher Macchio will sing the United States national anthem.

This significant occasion aims to balance the formal nature of the inauguration with inspiring performances. In a statement shared with Variety, Underwood expressed her excitement about being part of the event. “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. 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.”

Donald Trump will officially be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States at noon on Monday in a ceremony on the steps of the Capitol. After taking the oath of office, he will sign his first presidential orders, officially marking the start of his term.

Musical Tradition in Presidential Inaugurations

Having well-known artists perform at presidential inaugurations is a tradition that has been part of U.S. history for years. At Donald Trump’s first inauguration in 2017, singer Jackie Evancho was the standout performer. Similarly, at President Joe Biden’s inauguration, Lady Gaga delivered a memorable rendition of the national anthem.

This year’s celebration will include a formal luncheon at Congress, where the new president will be joined by political leaders and other distinguished guests. Afterward, Trump will review the troops and lead the traditional presidential parade along Pennsylvania Avenue, stretching from the Capitol to the White House.

The day will end with three inaugural balls attended by Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. Melania expressed her excitement about returning to the White House and “serving the country.” She highlighted how these moments offer a chance to connect with the American people and celebrate the start of a new administration.
