Carrie Underwood recently shared her thoughts and feelings regarding her performance during President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Despite facing rumors and some alleged diva-like conduct, the renowned country music star remains unfazed, choosing instead to focus on the music that defines her career.
Rather than getting embroiled in speculation about her conduct at the inauguration, Carrie Underwood has turned her attention to what she loves most: her music. In a subtle yet effective manner, she addressed these rumors by promoting her upcoming concert special via an Instagram story. She posted a captivating promotional image, inviting fans to catch the “#REFLECTION concert special on @hulu and #HuluOnDisneyPlus” with a vibrant “TOMORROW!” message. Clearly, her goal is to keep her music and live performances at the forefront of discussions.
Adding a personal touch to her post, Underwood played her popular 2018 hit song, “Drinking Alone,” in the background, serving as a gentle reminder of her remarkable musical talent.
Notably, a post from Carrie’s Instagram features her excited demeanor as she looks forward to connecting with her audience through her upcoming performances.
Navigating the challenges during her inauguration performance, which was moved indoors to the Capitol Building, Carrie Underwood successfully delivered a memorable rendition of “America The Beautiful.” Despite this, she reportedly felt her performance was not as impactful as those of other stars like Beyoncé or Lady Gaga, who have performed at similar prestigious events.
The change of venue to an indoor space left Carrie feeling somewhat anxious, as noted by an unnamed source. According to the Daily Mail, a source explained, “Her anxiety was high throughout the performance, and she felt she didn’t receive the level of respect or admiration she deserved. It seemed she felt whisked away without proper recognition, leading to a minor post-performance frustration.”
