Ariana Grande recently made headlines when she responded to Carrie Underwood's performance at Donald Trump's inauguration with the words "Thank U, Next." By "liking" an Instagram post that provided a critique of Carrie Underwood's rendition of "America the Beautiful" a cappella, the pop diva communicated her feelings concerning the matter.
According to People, there was a picture that showed Kamala Harris's reaction when Carrie Underwood, who is 41 years old, was performing at the event on Monday.
It was hilariously pointed out in the caption of the post, "Kamala Harris evoking Coco Montrese ('Girl, find the note') watching Carrie Underwood at today's chilling inauguration."
This allusion to Coco Montrese, a participant from the second season of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars," brought to light an incident from 2016, when Montrese became famous for asking another contender to "find the note."
As social media users began to notice Grande's "like," they quickly took to the comments section to share their amusement. One fan wrote, "Ariana liked this lmfao ���," while another chimed in with, "ARIANA HAHAH." A third user humorously suggested, "Her cassette tape breaking so she had to sing acapella? The gays did that!!!"
Some fans rallied to Underwood's rescue, complimenting the Grammy-winning artist for her professionalism, particularly in light of the technical challenges she encountered during her performance. Despite the humorous insults directed at her, she persevered.
According to Page Six, an audio malfunction caused an unsettling quiet, which prompted Underwood to sing as if she were singing by herself. Before raising the microphone to her lips and beginning her performance, she graciously mouthed, "I can just sing it." This was a moment of grace on her part.
Around the beginning of this month, Underwood confirmed that she will be attending the inauguration ceremony of Donald Trump, which was a momentous occasion for the newly elected president.
Trump celebrated his inauguration with an inaugural ball that featured performances from a number of A-list performers, such as Billy Ray Cyrus, Rascal Flatts, Parker McCollum, and Gavin DeGraw. The party took place after the swearing-in ceremony.
Throughout the course of the evening, members of Trump's family dressed to impress in preparation for the event. Melania Trump, his wife, made a fashion statement by exchanging her famous wide-brimmed hat for an elegant strapless gown. His daughter, Ivanka Trump, wowed everyone with her stunning Givenchy attire. The festivities filled the evening with sparkle and splendor, marking a spectacular beginning to Trump's presidency.
Business Times has reached out to Carrie Underwood's representatives for comments.
