Sunday Night Football’s Carrie Underwood has been accused of being “un-American” by her critics ahead of Monday’s presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C.
Underwood, 41, is set to perform “America the Beautiful” at Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday. She’ll be performing the patriotic song right before Trump is sworn in by a Supreme Court justice. Underwood, who has been singing the intro to NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” games for a decade-plus, is taking some heat on social media for decision.
The Oklahoma native is standing by it, though.
“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,” Underwood said. “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.”
Not everyone is happy with her, though.

Underwood, who is a new judge on “American Idol,” has been accused of being “un-American” by some of her critics.
“I don’t understand how you say you love your country at the same time that you normalize this convicted felon,” Joy Behar of The View said.
Behar accused Underwood of being un-American.
Former “The View” host Elisabeth Hasselbeck is clapping back at Behar and Underwood’s critics, though.
“When those comments got passed around, even Whoopi Goldberg couldn’t agree with the outlandish remark of Joy Behar,” Hasselbeck told “Hannity” on Tuesday night.
“She wants us to believe that [about] Carrie Underwood, who won ‘American Idol’ by American votes, who had an album and tour called All-American Girl, who actually has spent more time on USO tours, serving and helping and donating money to our nation’s finest, our military, their families and our veterans – is about to perform ‘America the Beautiful’ at the historic event of the inauguration of the President of the United States of America.”

Hasselbeck added: “That’s what we’re doing tonight. We’re actually being truth bearers, because what we know to be true is that it’s actually more un-American to call someone un-American for exercising their American rights.”
Underwood, meanwhile, is standing by her decision. She’ll be performing at the inauguration on Monday.
