Carrie Underwood's Trump Inauguration Performance: Spite Against Taylor Swift?

Carrie Underwood's performance at Donald Trump's second inauguration sparked controversy, with some fans questioning her decision. A source alleges Underwood's choice may have been fueled by a feud with Taylor Swift. The source claims Underwood aimed to "spite" Swift, citing past "bad blood" and Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris. The source also suggested Underwood was "marking her territory as 'Miss Americana'" after the election results. There are also claims that Underwood feels spiteful toward Swift for "going from country to pop." While Underwood has seemingly made subtle jabs at Swift in the past, she previously downplayed feud rumors in a 2013 interview, stating they have different styles of music. She also criticized the reliability of anonymous sources in gossip publications. Therefore, it's unlikely that Underwood's inauguration performance had anything to do with Swift.
