Carrie Underwood Allegedly Had a ‘Hiccup’ After Inauguration Speech

Sources close to the singer have now revealed that she was unhappy with the event and felt she was “not given the same level of respect” as previous inauguration headliners such as Beyoncé.

Carrie Underwood has been criticized for accepting an invitation to speak at Trump’s inauguration, but a source revealed she “doesn’t care” what critics say and is “very proud” of herself.

After the performance, the source said Daily Mail that the singer was unhappy that she felt she wasn’t given “a stage or a platform” like previous artists.

This change of plans apparently affected Underwood, with a source explaining that she was “unhappy with her performance at the event, primarily because of the limited space she was given, which made her feel cramped and uncomfortable.”

“Her anxiety was high throughout the performance and she felt like she wasn’t given the same level of respect and admiration that previous performers like Beyoncé and Lady Gaga have received,” the insider continued. “She felt like she was being put in and out and then had a little fizzy fit.”

“She is used to playing in mass venues with a stage to herself. She was not even given a stage or a platform,” the source added. “She felt like she was literally in a room, surrounded by people and a microphone. It made the acoustics worse.”

However, she decided to carry on despite this, making an angry face as she ordered the audience to sing along with her “if you know the words”.

“Even though her performance wasn’t perfect and she wasn’t what she wanted to see, because she wanted everything to go smoothly, the fact that there was some awkwardness to make things go just added to the uniqueness of all this,” the source said.

The source went on to tell the news outlet that Underwood will eventually get over the glitch, but she hoped the moment would be more memorable.

“In the end she’ll laugh it off and take it for what it was, but she’s disappointed it wasn’t a bigger moment because the moment she was looking for was changed due to technical issues,” the source said. .

They explained that Underwood is still “proud of herself” for “being able to save this from being a total disaster.”

“Even though it’s not her day and she just wanted to add to the day, not take anything away, she was annoyed with how it turned out,” the source added.

Days before the event, fans criticized the “Somethin’ Bad” singer for accepting an invitation to perform at Trump’s inauguration.

However, the source revealed that she “understands the backlash” but “doesn’t care” what the naysayers think because she “looks beyond any controversy” and decided to speak “for America, not specifically for Trump.”

“It’s going to be a big year for Carey, who is starting out as a judge on American Idol and is now performing at the inauguration,” the source explained. Daily Mail.

“That’s something she’s very proud of, and that she’s doing it for America, not specifically for Trump,” they said.

“They are thrilled to have her as their new judge and can’t wait for America to fall in love with her all over again,” they shared.
