WASHINGTON - Country star Carrie Underwood will perform "America the Beautiful" at Trump's inauguration alongside the Armed Forces Choir and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club, according to the Associated Press.
Other performers will include country singer Lee Greenwood and opera singer Christopher Macchio.
Greenwood will perform as Trump walks out to take the oath, according to Trump’s inaugural committee. Macchio is Trump’s choice to perform the National Anthem at the end of the program.
The backstory:
Macchio performed at the Republican National Convention in July, at Trump’s return rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in October after his first rally there was marred by an assassination attempt, and during his Madison Square Garden rally that drew blowback for crude and racist jokes from some speakers.
Trump’s first inauguration in 2017 featured performances from the Rockettes, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and 16-year-old "America’s Got Talent" singer Jackie Evancho.
Underwood isn't the first celebrity to perform an alternative patriotic tune instead of the Star Spangled Banner. Barbra Streisand sang "God Bless America" at Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993 and Aretha Franklin sang "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" at Barack Obama's ceremony in 2009.
