Carrie Underwood has broken her silence for the first time since her controversial performance at Donald Trump's inauguration and subsequent diva rumors.
Carrie Underwood says she was "honored" to be asked to sing at president-elect Donald Trump's upcoming inauguration ceremony, and she hopes her performance will help foster unity in the wake of one of the most contentious election cycles in U.S. history.
Carrie Underwood performed a stirring a cappella rendition of "America the Beautiful" after the official swearing-in of President Donald Trump at his inauguration on Jan. 20. Savannah Guthrie noted during NBC News' coverage of the inauguration ceremony that Underwood spontaneously sang a cappella due to an issue with the band that was set to play with her.

In one of the more awkward moments of the day, Donald Trump greeted his closest allies as he walked on stage to his swearing-in at the Capitol. When he reached his wife, he leaned in for a kiss, only to find her hat brim made it hard to get close enough to Melania's face. The couple settled on an air kiss instead.
