During Donald Trump’s inauguration, all eyes were on the star-studded attendees, but it wasn’t just the political figures who caught attention.
The three prominent men—Joe Biden, Doug Emhoff, and Bill Clinton—have caused quite a stir on social media after appearing to stare at country music star Carrie Underwood as she performed.
Carrie Underwood Stuns the Crowd with Her Performance
Carrie Underwood, 41, was invited to sing America the Beautiful at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda as part of the inauguration ceremony for Trump’s second term.
Dressed in an elegant, dove-gray midi dress by the Italian fashion house Opificio Modenese, Underwood looked nothing short of stunning.
Her dress, designed especially for the occasion, clung to her figure in all the right ways, which seemed to draw the attention of some of the men standing behind her during the performance.
The Uncomfortable Stares that Sparked Online Frenzy
As Underwood took her position to sing, viewers quickly noticed that Biden, Emhoff, and Clinton were seemingly casting lingering glances in her direction.
Social media exploded with reactions, with some users pointing out the awkwardness of the moment.
One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “DUDES AREN’T EVEN HIDING IT AT THE TRUMP CORONATION,” while another sarcastically asked, “Did Biden and Clinton check out Carrie Underwood’s a** at least twice?”
The moments were also pointed out by Citizen Free Press, a social media account, which further fueled the controversy, ending their post with, “Show some respect, you democrat dogs.”
Underwood’s Performance Faces Technical Hiccups
Despite the awkward glances from behind, Underwood’s performance was far from smooth.
As she stepped onto the stage, a strange silence fell over the crowd when the music failed to start.
An increasingly frustrated Underwood, clutching her microphone, struggled to get the song going.
After a few moments of awkwardness, she finally decided to carry on solo, singing the song a cappella.
Trying to make light of the situation, Underwood said, “If you know the words, help me out here!” before proceeding with her performance, despite the technical glitches.
Underwood Faces Backlash for Performing at the Inauguration
While Underwood’s performance was a memorable moment, it didn’t come without controversy.
Many of her fans criticized her for agreeing to perform at the event, questioning her morals.
Some fans interpreted her participation as a public endorsement of the incoming president, which led to a wave of backlash on social media.
Underwood had previously stated that she was “humbled” to be a part of the historic event, but this did little to quell the backlash from those who felt her decision was out of line with her usual stance.
The Fallout Continues on Social Media
The reactions to Underwood’s performance and the stares from the political figures didn’t stop with the technical issues.
Social media users continued to react to the entire situation, making jokes and sharing their thoughts.
Some were critical of the way the men ogled the performer, while others focused on Underwood’s response to the technical difficulties and her decision to proceed with the performance despite the awkward start.
In the end, the event highlighted not only the performance itself but also the reactions of those involved, leaving both the political figures and Underwood at the center of a social media storm.
