Carrie Underwood is facing backlash after it was announced she will perform at Donald Trump’s second inauguration, with fans now sharing a resurfaced clip of the singer mocking Obamacare
Country music sensation Carrie Underwood is ruffling feathers after revealing she’ll perform at Donald Trump’s second swearing-in. Now 41, the star is copping flak as old footage from the 2013 CMA Awards resurfaces and goes viral, showing pop sweetheart Taylor Swift looking notably uneasy.
At the event, Underwood alongside Brad Paisley delivered a skit taking aim at Obamacare’s hiccups and hold-ups during its initial rollout. Underwood quipped to the audience, “I started signing up last Thursday, and I’m almost done.”
Provoking laughter as the duo crooned a satirical song with lyrics: “Obamacare by morning/Why is this taking so long? ” While celebs like Keith Urban and Faith Hill also seemed awkward during the act, it was Swift’s stunned reaction that truly captured attention.
Her bewildered face post-punchline became a focal point, sparking comments online such as: “Taylor was confused by them and took notes of who was clapping and said I’m making pop music from now on.”
Another chimed in humorously with: “That is when Taylor decided to release a pop album.”, reports the Express US.

Carrie was joined by The Armed Forces Chorus and The United States Naval Academy Glee Club as she sang the American classic America The Beautiful. The backlash over her decision comes from her past comments about Donald Trump.
In 2017, Carrie even took a jab at Trump with a skit making fun of his infamous “covfefe” tweet.
