Through all the controversy and complaints Carrie Underwood has been facing as she geared up to perform “America The Beautiful” at the presidential inauguration, it’s clear she was too busy practicing to give weight to the drama.
The American Idol alumni took to the mic this morning only to find her backing instrumental wasn’t working so she simply Carrie’d on with an a capella performance of the anthemic patriotic tune, inviting the audience to help her out.
While we wait for more official footage to release, what we saw in the moment was that the background music began to play, but then cut out just as she got going. Always the professional songstress, she proved that it’s not just her pretty face that keeps her concerts cold out. Congratulations Carrie Underwood. No matter who is in the Oval Office, you’re definitely getting our vote today as a champion of true talent.
