Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration events will include performances by Carrie Underwood, Village People and Lee Greenwood.
Underwood released a statement Monday, saying she was “honored” to be able to perform at Trump’s Jan. 20 swearing-in at the U.S. Capitol.
“I love our country and I am honored to have been invited to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood said, according to the Associated Press. “I am honored to answer this call at a time when we must all come together in a spirit of unity and look to the future.”

A spokesperson for the Trump-Vance inaugural committee told Fox News Digital Brushwood will perform at the inauguration ceremony of President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance.

“Our YMCA song is a global anthem that will hopefully help bring the country together after a tumultuous and divided campaign in which our favorite candidate lost,” they continued. “Therefore, we believe now is the time to bring the country together through music, which is why VILLAGE PEOPLE will be performing at various events in support of Donald J. Trump’s inauguration in 2025.”
