Carrie Underwood ended up doing “America the Beautiful” a cappella thanks to a technical glitch at the inauguration.<\/p>\n
The backing track started but stopped, and everyone had to wait.<\/p>\n
Eventually, you could see her tell someone, “I can just sing it.” Then she encouraged people to sing along and launched into it.<\/p>\n

“The Daily Mail” claims she had a “mini HISSY FIT” afterward.<\/p>\n
They quoted an unnamed source who said she was “dissatisfied” with the performance, and not just because of the glitch. She was also expecting more of a STAGE.<\/p>\n
“She felt that she was not afforded the same level of respect or admiration that previous performers, such as Beyonc\u00e9 and Lady Gaga, had received.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Beyonc\u00e9 sang the National Anthem at Obama’s second inauguration in 2013. Gaga did it at Biden’s in 2021.<\/p>\n
They said she was annoyed she was just on the floor and didn’t even have a platform or anything.<\/p>\n
The event got moved inside last-minute because of the cold, so that changed things up. The source said she saved it from being “a total disaster” though, and was proud of how she handled it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Did Carrie Underwood Throw a “Hissy Fit” After Her Inauguration Snafu?","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":99382,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[464],"tags":[10532,10533,5355],"class_list":["post-102291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-american-the-beautiful","tag-carrie-underwod","tag-inauguration"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-11 21:30:03","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/cknx.ca\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2025\/01\/carrie-underwood-deals-with-technical-issues-at-inauguration\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102291"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102291\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":102293,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102291\/revisions\/102293"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
