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.

It’s playing a bass or cello methinks

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Hard to tell. It doesn’t have the shoulder brace that many violins have, but it also doesn’t seem to have the floor spike that a cello or bass would. That spot near the “bottom” may be for a spike, but it’s hard to tell since there is a leg in the way. The neck length points more towards a double bass, (they tend to have a larger body and shorter neck) but that could also just be due to the perspective.

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

Uhhh... Yeah, that's what she's paid to do.

...why does she make me feel things?

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

because that person is a professional actress with more talent in her little finger than most hacks have in their entire family .

Lie down with dogs; get up with fleas. Or brainworms. Or fuck her and her career for sinking to the Kidrock-level of skell. Hahahahaha.

Wow, where did all those $1 million donations go that they couldn't afford to give Carrie Underwood (checks notes) a stage.

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Hot take there. I remember hearing of a lot of donations, and you can be sure that a pretty large sum was to be spent on things like crowd control, portapotties, and the overall staging that just didn't need to happen since President Musk and VP Trump didn't want to get chilly. I wonder where those funds went?

In the immortal words of Nelson Muntz: Ha Ha.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 47 points 3 days ago

She went out of her way to be an extremely shitty person.

She got off easy.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] joenforcer@midwest.social 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

female country singer

That was your problem right there

[–] thagoat@lemmy.sdf.org 65 points 3 days ago

Welcome to the MAGA world, snowflake. Well deserved.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 47 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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.

lol until this very moment I had no idea this dollar general taylor swift was still making music

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago (3 children)

KKKarrie is a traitor, both to the US and to humanity as a whole. I don't give a fuck what she's feeling. The world will become a slightly better place when she stops stealing its oxygen.

Get fucked. Sucks to suck, asshole.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Maybe she's just a Chud and did it on her own, but the trump kompromat angle makes sense as well:

  1. She performs the Sunday night football song in a short dress and she's younger and blond - so there's a chance trump saw her and paid attention (because he's a rapist that likes girls with features similar to his daughter).

  2. He probably asked his sycophants to get her for the inauguration or a rally or some stop on the garbage parade, have to assume she said no at first realizing the career backlash, if anything.

  3. They scramble to find leverage, she was on American Idol, which is a former fox show (Murdoch) and a current ABC show (ABC being the complicit mainstream network to first bend the knee HARD recently, preemptively settling trump's defamation lawsuit against them with a huge multi million dollar payoff).

  4. So between all of that, someone has the leverage against one of those remaining producers to get them to offer underwood the replacement "judge" job on American Idol, with the condition that she support trump publicly.

  5. She was announced as a judge on American Idol.

  6. She performs at the inauguration.

  7. American Idol producers make public statements about fear of a backlash boycott, but say they won't do anything about her.

  8. The purposefully convoluted threat of a boycott fuels fox and others , along with the fully complicit social media networks, to push a counter boycott - meaning all of the Braindead maga folks without anymore rallys to attend should now go HARD for American Idol, buy merch, etc.

  9. Get now loyal viewers to send in their underpants as tribute. Collect all those underpants.

  10. ???

  11. Profit

Let me guess: the passionate people who have a degree in this stuff are too "liberal" and "woke", so you went with someone who's an idiot your fascist ass can underpay...

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 days ago

The people who could do the job already had in the past and been stiffed of their pay. Fool me once...

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

There’s a metaphor here about how the way trump runs things is going to fuck over his base, but they’re too dumb to see it.

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 3 days ago

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

I don't know much about her, but people seem to believe it because I guess it's kinda in character for her.

But you bring up a good point.
