U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's January 2025 inauguration program featured the country music star scheduled to sing "America the Beautiful."

Underwood made her big screen debut in April 2011 in the movie Soul Surfer. The movie follows the true story of surfer Bethany Hamilton as she overcomes obstacles to return to the water after a shark attack took her arm. The singer plays Sarah Hill, who was Hamilton’s church youth leader at the time.

Carrie Underwood's LGBTQ+ fans react with surprise and disappointment to news that the country musician will perform at Donald Trump's inauguration.
