Carrie Underwood ‘furious’ with treatment at Trump’s inauguration

When her performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration didn’t go as planned, an insider claims that Carrie Underwood was “furious” and had a “mini hissy fit,” earning the singer the title of “inauguration day diva.”

On January 20, country music star Carrie Underwood stepped on the world’s biggest stage in Washington D.C. to perform “America the Beautiful” alongside the Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club.

However, the performance did not go as planned. When the accompanying music failed to play, the American Idol alum had to think on her feet, turning an awkward situation into a display of vocal brilliance.

Taking control of the situation, Underwood, 41, addressed the crowd and encouraged them to sing along: “If you know the words, help me out here,” she said.

Her impromptu a cappella rendition was met with admiration, proving once again why she is one of country music’s biggest stars.

‘Inauguration day diva’

Backstage, however, things were very different with the star, who was called the “inauguration day diva.”

According to the Daily Mail, she was boasting to “anyone who wanted to listen that Trump called her personally to ask her to perform.”

But her personal invitation didn’t spare her from several behind-the-scene hiccups.

First, the Grammy-winning artist was forced to wear an off-the-rack dress, instead of the high-end gown she was expecting to be provided by “the administration or the designer,” an anonymous source tells the U.S. Sun.

“She was expecting to be dressed in something custom and at the very least something couture,” the insider said. “That also did not happen. Carrie ended up wearing a $300 dress off the rack and discounted shoes.”

Limited guests

Adding to the list of unexpected changes, the “Somethin’ Bad” singer reportedly found herself with a much smaller entourage than she had anticipated. Due to the event being moved indoors, the guest list was cut down, limiting how many people she could bring with her – “something she was not happy about,” the insider told the Sun.

“She hired an army of security…and demanded she be allowed a team of 20. She of course demanded tickets for her family and friends on top of that as well,” a separate source told the Daily Mail.

It didn’t end there.

Staging a disaster

Beyond her shrunken entourage, technical difficulties and wardrobe disappointments, reports suggest that Underwood was also dissatisfied with the staging of her performance.

According to the Daily Mail, the “Jesus, Take the Wheel” singer was “furious” that she was not treated with the “same level of respect” as other performers, like Lady Gaga, who sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” at Joe Biden’s inauguration in January 2021.

“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 claimed. “Her anxiety was high throughout the performance, and she felt that she was not afforded the same level of respect or admiration that previous performers, such as Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, had received.” Beyoncé sang the U.S. national anthem at Barack Obama’s 2013 presidential inauguration.

The tipster continued, “She is used to playing at massive venues with a stage to herself. She was not given a stage or a platform even. She felt like she was literally just in a room with people all around her and a microphone. This threw off the acoustics.”

The insider added, “She felt as if she was ushered in and out and had a mini hissy fit afterwards.”

Carrie Underwood’s show in Washington D.C. was filled with unexpected twists, yet she managed to rise above it all, delivering a powerful vocal performance that left an impression on fans and critics alike.

Tiger Woods posts an emotional message on social media announcing the death of his mother, Kultida, saying, “My Mom Was Force Of Nature

In a heartfelt social media statement, Tiger Woods revealed that his mother, Kultida Woods, has passed away at the age of 78. She is his “biggest fan” and a “force of nature,” according to the 15-time major champion.

“I want to share with you my deepest sorrow that my beloved mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning,” Tiger wrote in his touching letter. My mother’s spirit was just indisputable; she was a force of nature all her own.

She laughed and used the needle quickly. “She was my biggest supporter and fan, and without her, none of my personal accomplishments would have been possible,” he continued. Her two grandsons, Sam and Charlie, adored her more than anyone else. I appreciate everyone’s prayers, support, and privacy at this trying time for my family and myself. I adore you, Mom.

Kultida, who is originally from Thailand, met Tiger’s father, Earl Woods, in the late 1960s when he was serving with the US military in Bangkok, according to Fox News. After being married in 1969, the pair moved to Brooklyn, New York, and finally settled in Cypress, California, where their only child, Tiger-born Eldrick Woods, was born.

Eldrick was given his parents’ names, K for Kultida and E for Earl. Tiger Phong, his father’s lost companion in Vietnam, inspired the golf champion’s nickname. At the age of 74, Earl passed away in 2006.

During one of the golfer’s darkest moments, Kultida supported her son. In a widely reported news appearance in 2010, he admitted to having several extramarital affairs. Tiger’s mother, who was seated in the front row of the public confession, acknowledged that he had “stopped living by the core values” that his parents had taught him and that his behaviour was unacceptable.

penultimate year, Tiger Woods said on The Tonight Show that his mother was the reason he was able to don the now-famous red and black ensemble that he donned on the penultimate day of golf competitions. Published at 10:45 AM IST on Wednesday, February 5, 2025

A lady moves her car to avoid a garbage bag on the road, then checks it out and feels scared.

You might have experienced this before. Suddenly, you decide to do something a bit different from your usual routine. Maybe you change when you have your coffee or leave work a bit earlier. Even small changes in your daily routine can make a big difference. You might run into an old friend unexpectedly, or find out something upsetting about your partner soon after leaving work.

Sometimes, changes are tiny, and other times, they’re huge. Just like what happened to Malissa Sergent Lewis one summer day when she decided to take a different way to work.

One summer morning in 2016, Malissa Sergent Lewis was running behind schedule for her job at a school in Kentucky.

Malissa decided to take a smaller road instead of the busy highway because she wanted to get to her destination faster.

She’ll always be thankful for making that choice.

That day on the road, there was something unusual: a moving trash bag.

When Malissa saw it, she wondered if it was really moving.

As she got closer, she realized it was indeed moving.

Malissa really wanted to see what was in the bag, so she stopped her car and walked over to it carefully, not sure what she would find inside.

Malissa understood that since the bag was tied, whatever was inside wasn’t there by accident.

She carefully ripped open a corner of the bag to look inside.

Even more surprising was what was inside.

“It was a young dog. He was really happy to see me, too. When I opened the bag and he saw light, he immediately started wagging his tail. I couldn’t believe it,” Malissa told The Dodo.

The puppy was found in the road, inside a trash bag. It seemed like the dog hadn’t been in there for too long, even though even a short time would have been too much for the little guy.

Even though the puppy had a collar, there were no tags on it.

Malissa took the dog to school with her because she couldn’t stand to leave him behind.

Finally, Malissa’s son took the dog back home. Then, both of them took the puppy to the vet for a check-up and shots.

It’s a mystery how the puppy ended up in a bag by the roadside.

Malissa was afraid someone might take or leave the puppy, so she called animal control.

But nobody said the dog belonged to them, and nobody reported losing it.

Luckily, Malissa and her family have adopted the dog, so he’ll have a loving home. Malissa can’t understand why someone would do something so cruel.

Who would hurt an animal like that? Everyone loves puppies. Malissa said to The Dodo, “Putting any animal in a trash bag and leaving it on the road is really cruel.”

The ways of the world are strange. Malissa couldn’t understand it.
