This year’s musical lineup features several well-known artists. Carrie Underwood will kick off the swearing-in ceremony with “America the Beautiful.”
The “Before He Cheats” singer told People that she hoped to foster togetherness with her performance.
“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,” said Underwood, 41. “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.”

Tenor Christopher Macchio will sing the national anthem. Additionally, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lee Greenwood will take the stage during both the swearing-in ceremony and the Make America Great Again Victory Rally.
Best known for his patriotic anthem “God Bless the USA,” Greenwood has charted seven No. 1 singles during his six-decade career.
Vocal Trump supporters Kid Rock and Jason Aldean will also lend their voices. Kid Rock will perform at Trump’s victory rally, along with “Achy Breaky Heart” singer Billy Ray Cyrus. Aldean takes the stage later during the Liberty Ball.
