The “Somethin’ Bad” singer wore a sleeveless dove gray draped midi dress for the ceremony, paired with ivory leather pumps and a diamond leaf ring. She was joined by the Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club for her performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Standing before Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, she faced a technical issue that led her to perform “America the Beautiful” a cappella. Despite the challenge of no musical accompaniment, Underwood\u00a0encouraged<\/a>\u00a0the audience to join in, “You know the words, help me out here,” before\u00a0delivering a few verses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One viewer\u00a0expressed<\/a>\u00a0disappointment,\u00a0“She sounds off-key. She will do better next time.”<\/i>\u00a0Another listener\u00a0added<\/a>,\u00a0“She didn’t find the note; she was off-key!”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A harsher critique came from a fan who\u00a0admitted<\/a>\u00a0their surprise,\u00a0“I didn’t expect Carrie Underwood to be great a cappella, but I expected her to at least be able to carry a tune. I’m stunned how off-key she is. Years of relying on auto-tune.”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
