Carrie Underwood caught so much backlash from some for singing at Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, but now she has found a supporter in Kelly Stafford.
Underwood performed ‘America the Beautiful’ as Trump was welcomed into the Oval Office for a second and final time on Monday.
While she was blasted in the days before the performance, the wife of Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has her back.
On her “Morning After” podcast with Hank Winchester, Stafford and her co-host made sure their listeners knew they were behind Carrie Underwood.
“I thought Carrie Underwood was fantastic,” Winchester said.
“I don’t like people coming after her for… to me, no matter who I voted for, if a sitting president calls me and says, would you like to come to the White House? I’m going to the White House.”
“I love that I didn’t know her stance on politics,” Kelly Stafford responded.
“I mean, I just feel like that’s kind of amazing. And I think it surprised a lot of people that she was going to perform.”
Kelly, who admitted on the podcast that she missed most of the inauguration because she was flying home from the Rams’ game against the Eagles in Philly, agreed with her co-host that “we have to just respect the power at hand.”
“When they’re in there, you can’t change it,” she said, referring to people upset that Trump, 78, is president. “You just gotta pray that they make the right decisions for this country. You gotta support any way you can, even if you don’t like them. You just gotta do it until the next term, and then we’ll bitch again.
“But people are in place,” Stafford noted. “It is what it is.”
Despite her awesome performance, it appears that everything wasn’t okay for Carrie Underwood on Monday.
Underwood reportedly felt that she was not given “the same respect” as Beyoncé during her inauguration performance this week.
The country music superstar encountered a few hiccups during her rendition of “America the Beautiful.”
The band that was meant to accompany Underwood did not play, and a backing track cut out, so she was forced to sing a cappella and asked the onlookers to sing with her.
Carrie Underwood Caught So Much Backlash That She Didn’t Post Anything From The Inauguration
Carrie Underwood’s performance at the Trump inauguration stirred controversy among her fan base, who did not like her agreeing to do the job.
At the time, she attempted to justify her decision in a statement that read: “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 received so much negative attention that she didn’t even bother posting highlights from the inauguration to any of her social media pages.

Nick Bosa may have landed himself in hot water with the NFL following his actions after the San Francisco 49ers beat the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night.
The Niners enjoyed a 30-24 win over Dallas in the ‘SNF’ fixture. Quarterback Brock Purdy had a stellar game, completing 18 of 26 passing attempts for 260 yards and a touchdown while showing some surprising athleticism as a scrambler.
Bosa also had an impressive outing as he made life pretty difficult for the Cowboys offensive line, also making three tackles, a sack, and two QB hits.
After the game, he popped up behind Purdy while the QB was being interviewed and pointed to his “Make America Great Again” hat before running toward the locker room.
