The singer, who was hit by technical glitches that forced her to perform an acapella, was allegedly not thrilled about the issue, as well as how she was forced to perform, after initially sparking backlash over the performance and allegedly not “caring” about the hate.

The 41-year-old allegedly felt slighted because past performers at inaugurations for Joe Biden and Barack Obama, like Beyonce and Lady Gaga, have been afforded such luxuries.

“Carrie was dissatisfied with her performance at the event, primarily due to the limited space she was given, which left her feeling cramped and uncomfortable,” the source told the publication.

    This woman is such a “literally who?” that I geniunely got her mixed up with Carrie Fisher and wrote articles about her attendance at the inauguration off as fake news. Because well, she’s dead.

      Do you live under a rock? She’s possibly the most popular female country singer (after Dolly Parton) and the 2nd most well-known American Idol winner (after Kelly Clarkson).

      I mean, she’s dead to me along with Snoop Dogg after all of this but by no means is she a nobody.

        Ehhhh, American Idol winners are famous for falling off the face of the earth (do you know any other winners offhand besides Carrie and Kelly?), so I don’t blame people for not knowing her from that.

        I think it’s also a stretch to say she’s the most (or second most) popular female country singer. Country as a genre is becoming less and less popular, being replaced by pop/hip-hop/rap for young people. I feel like Carrie Underwood was most popular amongst the subset of elder millennials that still listened to country or who happened to catch her hits on pop radio, but Gen Xers and Boomers are probably more familiar with Reba McIntire, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, etc, and zoomers and Gen alpha are too busy listening to literally any other genre than country to know who any of those people are.

    I’ve just realised I have no idea who Carrie Underwood is.

    I saw her name on the guestlist, but it’s only seeing her described as a singer that I realised that it wasn’t Sara Jean Underwood, Playmate of the month a good couple of years ago.

    I just assumed he’d invited another porn star to his party and thought nothing more of it. Which says a lot about how surprising I find odd things about Trump…

    Selfish narcissist shocked at lack of consideration from bigger, even more selfish narcissists.

      More like perfectionist is angry that they aren’t given the materials they required when forced to by weather circumstances.

      What did she expect them to do find another stadium just for her song? How many places can Trump have left to stiff?

    She felt like she was literally just in a room with people all around her and a microphone.

    It’s hard not to read this as a power play when she was being paid by someone known for memorably misogynist statements, and for needing to go to court against his own sex worker.

    I’m inclined to infer that the worst creep factors of old rich American men may have poisoned the vibe in the room.

    And yeah, all statements about leopards and faces and knowing better apply here.

    I assume Carrie can afford to choose clients carefully. I hope this gives her pause to take stock, and that she moves on to wiser choices.
