Carrie Underwood to Perform at Presidential Inauguration Amid Family Milestones
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country music superstar Carrie Underwood is set to perform “America the Beautiful” at the upcoming presidential inauguration, marking another milestone in her illustrious career. The 41-year-old singer, known for hits like “Before He Cheats,” will take the stage shortly before the swearing-in ceremony, a moment she describes as both humbling and historic.
Underwood, who rose to fame after winning “American Idol” in 2005, has since become one of the best-selling artists of all time, with an estimated net worth of $120 million. Her performance at the inauguration underscores her enduring influence in the music industry and her commitment to fostering unity during a pivotal moment in U.S. history.
“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at such a historic event,” Underwood said in a statement. “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.”
Beyond her professional achievements, Underwood has built a fulfilling personal life with her husband, former NHL star Mike Fisher, and their two sons, Isaiah and Jacob. The couple, who married in 2010, have often shared glimpses of their family life, emphasizing the importance of faith, love, and togetherness.
Fisher, who retired from professional hockey in 2018, has been a steadfast supporter of Underwood’s career. In a heartfelt Instagram post, he praised her talent and work ethic, writing, “God has given you one of the best voices, crazy work ethic, and a platform you’ve never taken for granted.”
The family resides on a sprawling 400-acre farm in Tennessee, where they prioritize quality time amid their busy schedules. Underwood has spoken candidly about the joys and challenges of motherhood, describing their home as “a mess” but full of love and laughter. “I give motherhood my all. I give entertaining my all. Hopefully, everything will be OK, and so far, it has been,” she told People magazine.
As Underwood prepares to take the national stage once again, her journey serves as a testament to her resilience, talent, and dedication to both her craft and her family.
