Carrie Underwood was allegedly left "furious" after being faced with technical issues and a less thrilling venue at Donald Trump's Inauguration.

The singer, who was hit by technical glitches that forced her to perform an acapella, was allegedly not thrilled about the issue, as well as how she was forced to perform, after initially sparking backlash over the performance and allegedly not “caring” about the hate.

The 41-year-old allegedly felt slighted because past performers at inaugurations for Joe Biden and Barack Obama, like Beyonce and Lady Gaga, have been afforded such luxuries.

“Carrie was dissatisfied with her performance at the event, primarily due to the limited space she was given, which left her feeling cramped and uncomfortable,” the source told the publication.

    “She felt like she was literally just in a room with people all around her and a microphone.”

    Uhhh… Yeah, that’s what she’s paid to do.

      More like perfectionist is angry that they aren’t given the materials they required when forced to by weather circumstances.

      What did she expect them to do find another stadium just for her song? How many places can Trump have left to stiff?

    This woman is such a “literally who?” that I geniunely got her mixed up with Carrie Fisher and wrote articles about her attendance at the inauguration off as fake news. Because well, she’s dead.

      Do you live under a rock? She’s possibly the most popular female country singer (after Dolly Parton) and the 2nd most well-known American Idol winner (after Kelly Clarkson).

      I mean, she’s dead to me along with Snoop Dogg after all of this but by no means is she a nobody.

        Ehhhh, American Idol winners are famous for falling off the face of the earth (do you know any other winners offhand besides Carrie and Kelly?), so I don’t blame people for not knowing her from that.

        I think it’s also a stretch to say she’s the most (or second most) popular female country singer. Country as a genre is becoming less and less popular, being replaced by pop/hip-hop/rap for young people. I feel like Carrie Underwood was most popular amongst the subset of elder millennials that still listened to country or who happened to catch her hits on pop radio, but Gen Xers and Boomers are probably more familiar with Reba McIntire, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, etc, and zoomers and Gen alpha are too busy listening to literally any other genre than country to know who any of those people are.

      Hot take there. I remember hearing of a lot of donations, and you can be sure that a pretty large sum was to be spent on things like crowd control, portapotties, and the overall staging that just didn’t need to happen since President Musk and VP Trump didn’t want to get chilly. I wonder where those funds went?

    Maybe she’s just a Chud and did it on her own, but the trump kompromat angle makes sense as well:

    1. She performs the Sunday night football song in a short dress and she’s younger and blond - so there’s a chance trump saw her and paid attention (because he’s a rapist that likes girls with features similar to his daughter).

    2. He probably asked his sycophants to get her for the inauguration or a rally or some stop on the garbage parade, have to assume she said no at first realizing the career backlash, if anything.

    3. They scramble to find leverage, she was on American Idol, which is a former fox show (Murdoch) and a current ABC show (ABC being the complicit mainstream network to first bend the knee HARD recently, preemptively settling trump’s defamation lawsuit against them with a huge multi million dollar payoff).

    4. So between all of that, someone has the leverage against one of those remaining producers to get them to offer underwood the replacement “judge” job on American Idol, with the condition that she support trump publicly.

    5. She was announced as a judge on American Idol.

    6. She performs at the inauguration.

    7. American Idol producers make public statements about fear of a backlash boycott, but say they won’t do anything about her.

    8. The purposefully convoluted threat of a boycott fuels fox and others , along with the fully complicit social media networks, to push a counter boycott - meaning all of the Braindead maga folks without anymore rallys to attend should now go HARD for American Idol, buy merch, etc.

    9. Get now loyal viewers to send in their underpants as tribute. Collect all those underpants.

    10. ???
