Carrie Underwood triumphs at Trump inauguration after musical mishap

Not only did Carrie Underwood display her musical chops to the world at the inauguration of President Donald Trump on Monday, but she also flaunted her professional prowess.

Tapped to perform "America the Beautiful" at the 60th Presidential Inauguration Ceremony, held this year inside the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, Underwood was escorted inside and awaited her musical cue to begin singing in front of Trump, his family, distinguished politicians and other celebrities.

But no cue would come.

DONALD TRUMP SWORN IN AS 47TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

For a fleeting moment, an instrumental track played before cutting out. Underwood, positioned in front of former President Biden, quickly ascertained that something was awry, leaving her to improvise. Video circulating online shows the country star speaking with someone on the production team saying, "I can just sing it." 

"If you know the words, help me out here," she then prefaced before beginning the song. Following her performance, she clapped for those before her who'd sung along, before turning around and shaking Biden's hand.

She also shared a moment with President Trump and Vice President JD Vance before exiting the room. 

CARRIE UNDERWOOD'S JOURNEY TO TRUMP INAUGURATION FROM 'AMERICAN IDOL' CHAMP

The "American Idol" winner turned judge was showered with additional praise on social media, with several applauding how she handled the situation. "That was a super awkward moment, but Carrie Underwood worked through it like a champ!" a user wrote to X. "This was bad---," another wrote. 

"Now that is a flex. Imagine being so talented that when technology fails, you just go, 'Fine, I'll do it live!' and crush it a cappella in front of thousands. Carrie Underwood doesn't need auto-tune; auto-tune probably takes notes from her," an impassioned fan wrote.

"This pretty much sums up the spirit of America. When you're faced with a problem, you don't stop. You keep moving ahead - proudly. Kudos to @carrieunderwood. Well done!" another user posted. "She just demonstrated Trump's words... We will overcome any challenge and win!" another wrote.

Last week, Underwood, who has kept herself away from the political scene, confirmed she would be performing at Trump's inauguration. "I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event," the country superstar 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."
