Whoopi Goldberg spoke out in defense of country music star Carrie Underwood following backlash over her performance at President Donald Trump’s inauguration events. During an episode of ‘The View’, Goldberg stated, “Carrie is an artist and she can do whatever she wants. I stand behind her decision.” The controversy arose after Joy Behar questioned how Underwood, a prominent figure in country music, could love the country she performs for amid current political climates. Behar remarked, “I wonder if she thinks about that when she’s singing the national anthem in front of the president who many people believe is dividing the country.” Underwood is set to perform alongside other notable artists such as the Village People at the events surrounding Trump’s inauguration. This announcement has sparked a lively debate among fans and critics, as many question the implications of her performance amid ongoing political tensions. In response to the divide, Underwood has focused on her artistry and the significance of music in bringing people together, despite differing opinions on political figures.
