Carrie Underwood is set to perform “America the Beautiful” at Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration next week.
On Monday, reporter Matthew Foldi tweeted a leaked copy of the program from the forthcoming event on X, which showed the former “American Idol” winner listed to perform alongside the Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club.
Underwood’s performance will follow Vice President JD Vance’s oath into office and precede Trump’s oath.

Page Six has reached out to Underwood’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
The “Before He Cheats” songstress, 41, has shied away from publicly becoming involved in politics.
However, in 2008, Underwood said she did not agree with celebrities endorsing a presidential candidate.
“There is someone I do support, but I don’t support publicly,” she said, per Fox News.
“I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate. It’s saying that the American public isn’t smart enough to make their own decisions.”
In June 2019, the eight-time Grammy winner explained why she wasn’t too vocal about politics.
“I try to stay far out of politics if possible, at least in public, because nobody wins,” she told the Guardian.
“It’s crazy. Everybody tries to sum everything up and put a bow on it, like it’s black and white. And it’s not like that.”
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, Underwood was slammed for “liking” a conservative’s video against a mask mandate.
Trump, 78, defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election last November.
The former “Apprentice” star, who will become the first felon to become president, will be sworn into office at the West Front of the United States Capitol in Washington, DC, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Others set to perform at the inauguration include Christopher D. Macchio, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln combined choirs and the United States Marine Band.
