The Cry Pretty songstress has remained silent after her controversial appearance at President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January.
Sources close to Carrie revealed she was “frustrated” over how the performance went.
The insider previously told The U.S. Sun, “Her keeping quiet is an indicator things did not go well for her, not how she wanted.
“How the performance was pitched to her and how it ended up going were two very different experiences.
“Most of that had to do with the event being moved indoors which decreased the guest list and how many people she could bring with her – something she was not happy about.
“She’s proud of herself for how she handled such a chaotic situation but I think she’s second-guessing this whole thing and wondering if it was worth it.”
The U.S. Sun also reported the performance put the American Idol team in a “stressful” position
A source told The U.S. Sun, “The show just wants to stay away from anything political so this turning into such a big, worldwide topic of conversation is not what [the producers] wanted heading into the start of the season.
“The situation has become too big and out of anyone’s control now which is a stressful position to be in while trying to promote a family-friendly, politically neutral show.
“While I know people wish the show wasn’t involved, they are proud of how Carrie handled herself in what I’m sure was a stressful moment but this is basically worst-case scenario.
“In terms of the amount of attention it’s gotten and Idol being brought into the political conversation,” a source claimed.
The Voice Season 27 Coaches
The Voice has gone through many coaches in its various seasons. Some stay on for a while, while others only stay for one season. Here is who will be coaching Season 27 in 2025.
Adam Levine – Season 1 to 16, 27
John Legend – 16 to 22, 24 to 25, 27
Kelsea Ballerini – 15, Comeback Stage, 20, 27
Michael Buble – 26 and 27
TENSION ON SET
The U.S. Sun previously reported the performance even affected Carrie’s behavior on set.
“Carrie has been polite but distant from the rest of the crew,” a source claimed.
“Everyone knows Lionel and Luke better, they have been here longer and are closer with the crew.
“Carrie has been very kind to everyone on set but she does seem more reserved.”
Crew members on set were told to “not bring up the inauguration under any circumstances.”
The source continued to allege, “Everyone knows Lionel and Luke better, they have been here longer and are closer with the crew.
“Carrie has been very kind to everyone on set but she does seem more reserved.”
