On a cold day in Washington, DC, Donald Trumptook oath as the 47th president of the United States in the inauguration ceremony held at the Capitol Rotunda.
The ceremony had superstar Carrie Underwood and opera tenor Christopher Macchio deliver musical performances. Carrie performed ''America the Beautiful'' while Macchio sang the national anthem.
During her performance, Carrie, 41, faced a little technical glitch before performing. The crooner, looking gorgeous, stood calmly, waiting for the music to start.
After a little delay, Underwood started singing cappella, asking the packed hall to join her and saying, "You know the words."
The American Idol judge chose an elegant white dress. She accessorised her look with diamond earrings, rings, and a bracelet.
On Jan 13, Underwood confirmed that she will be performing at Trump's inauguration ceremony. However, she faced a massive backlash for agreeing to perform at the ceremony.
"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," she said in a statement toUSA Today.
