Carrie Underwood has faced major backlash after the news broke that she would be performing at Donald Trump’s inauguration performance next week.<\/p>\n

It’s been confirmed by the the Presidential Inaugural Committee that Underwood will be singing at\u00a0Trump<\/a>‘s inauguration ceremony on Monday (20 January).<\/p>\n

Underwood, who is expected to\u00a0sing<\/a>\u00a0‘America the Beautiful’ said in a separate statement: “I love\u00a0our country<\/a>\u00a0and am honoured to have been asked to sing at the\u00a0Inauguration<\/a>\u00a0and to be a small part of this historic event.<\/p>\n

“I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”<\/p>\n

Fans of the ‘Before He Cheats’\u00a0star<\/a>\u00a0were clearly not happy with the news, with many rushing to share their ‘heartbreak’.<\/p>\n

One\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0user penned: “Carrie Underwood is preforming at Trump\u2019s inauguration so I\u2019m blocking her on all apps and boycotting all her music.”<\/p>\n

“As a longtime fan that\u2019s been to all of your concerts, including Vegas, I\u2019m heartbroken at your decision to perform next week. I thought you stood for love & acceptance, not hate & judgement,” lamented a second.<\/p>\n

A third quipped: “I have never removed all traces of an artist so fast from my phone.”<\/p>\n

“This is devastating no one talk to me,” hit out a fourth while a fifth slammed: “Don\u2019t ever call yourself an LGBTQ ally again, you\u2019re supporting the man that wants to abolish LGBTQ rights, you should be ashamed.”<\/p>\n

Another echoed: “He\u2019s literally against everything she used to sing about.”<\/p>\n

“Performing for the orange buffoon’s inauguration\u2026 guess we know where you stand,” added a final social media user.<\/p>\n

Last Friday (10 January), a judge\u00a0sentenced Trump to a no-penalty sentence<\/a>\u00a0called an unconditional discharge in his hush-money case.<\/p>\n

Judge Juan Merchan could have sentenced the 78-year-old to up to four years in prison but, instead, he decided on a sentence that sidestepped thorny constitutional issues by effectively ending the case, but assured that Trump will become the first person convicted of a\u00a0felony<\/a>\u00a0to assume the presidency.<\/p>\n

The hush\u00a0money<\/a>\u00a0case accused Trump of fudging his business records to veil a $130,000 (\u00a3105,000) payoff to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.<\/p>\n

She was paid, late in Trump\u2019s 2016 campaign, not to tell the public about a\u00a0sexual encounter<\/a>\u00a0she maintains the two had a decade earlier.<\/p>\n

He says nothing sexual happened between them, and he contends that his political adversaries spun up a bogus prosecution to try to damage him.<\/p>\n

“I never falsified business records. It is a fake, made-up charge,” the Republican president-elect wrote on his Truth Social platform earlier this month.<\/p>\n
