"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," Underwood said in a statement shortly after the news broke. "I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future."
But Underwood has avoided discussing politics across her career, in 2019 telling The Guardian, "I feel like more people try to pin me places politically. I try to stay far out of politics if possible, at least in public, because nobody wins. It's crazy. Everybody tries to sum everything up and put a bow on it, like it's black and white. And it's not like that."
