The musical lineup for Trump's inauguration includes Carrie Underwood, Kid Rock, and Jason Aldean.
Carrie Underwood will perform 'America the Beautiful' at Trump's inauguration.
The inauguration events for President-elect Trump are preparing to feature several celebrity performers.
Country music's biggest stars are set to perform at various events over the weekend, culminating on Monday, the day of Trump's inauguration.
Here is a list of celebrities performing at various inaugural gatherings.
Jason Aldean
The Liberty Inaugural Ball on Monday evening will feature country music star Jason Aldean as its performer, after the swearing-in ceremony and other events.
The musician, who was an outspoken supporter of Trump, agreed to sing at the event, but it is unclear which song he will perform.
""We have faced criticism from the entertainment industry and the media for supporting @realdonaldtrump, but as a father and an American citizen, I believe our country should return to its founding values and principles," Aldean wrote on Instagram on Election Day."
Carrie Underwood
Earlier this week, it was announced that Carrie Underwood, the "American Idol" winner and a renowned country music artist, will perform "America the Beautiful" at the swearing-in ceremony during the inauguration.
After Vice President-elect JD Vance takes his Oath of Office, she will take the stage before Trump takes the Presidential Oath of Office.
"I am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event," Underwood stated in a Planet Chronicle Digital obtained statement. "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."
Village People
The iconic '70s disco group Village People will perform at several events during the inauguration weekend, including the Make America Great Again Victory Rally on Sunday and the Liberty Inaugural Ball on Monday.
The statement on both Victor Willis and the group's official pages reads: "Although we understand that this may not please some of you, we believe that music should be performed without any consideration for politics."
"Our song Y.M.C.A. is a global anthem that aims to unite the country after a divisive election where our preferred candidate did not win. As a result, we believe that music is the best way to bring the country together, which is why VILLAGE PEOPLE will be performing at various events during the 2025 Inauguration of Donald J. Trump."
"Y.M.C.A." by the group was frequently played at Trump's campaign rallies in 1978.
Kid Rock
On Monday, ahead of the inauguration, the Make America Great Again Victory Rally will feature Kid Rock as the performer.
The singer, who performed at the Republican National Convention in July, agreed to appear at inauguration events and headlined the touring festival Rock the Country with Aldean, which aimed to celebrate conservative politics in country music.
After declaring that he would perform at the rally, Kid Rock posted on Instagram to express his call for "harmony."
"He announced in a video that he would be playing seven arena shows in the Midwest in March and April. After years of being mistreated by those in power and the left-wing media, he believed it was long overdue to celebrate with his fans."
""It's definitely time to celebrate with like-minded patriots who unapologetically love this country. Come one, come all," he continued."
Christopher Macchio
During the swearing-in ceremony, the U.S. Marine Corps band orchestra and choir will accompany opera singer Christopher Macchio as he sings the National Anthem.
Macchio has remained loyal to Trump and has performed songs such as "Ave Maria," "Nessun Dorma," and "Hallelujah" at rallies. In a video posted to Instagram, Macchio stated that he is privileged to be a part of Trump's circle, family, and organization.
Billy Ray Cyrus
Billy Ray Cyrus will perform at the Make America Great Again Rally on Sunday, but the specific song he will sing is unknown.
""I proudly stand here with former U.S. President Donald J. Trump, having met him as the 6th U.S. President I've encountered. I felt like Corey Comperatore was with us, just like how some stood for the red, white, and blue and some had to fall, some gave all," he wrote on Facebook, accompanied by a photo of himself with Trump, along with the quote."
Lee Greenwood
During the inauguration weekend, Lee Greenwood is scheduled to perform at two events. On Sunday, he will sing at the Make America Great Again Rally, and on Monday, he will sing "God Bless the USA" at the swearing-in ceremony.
Trump's campaign saw Greenwood's presence multiple times, including at the Republican National Convention in the summer and his performance at the first inauguration in 2017.
"Greenwood expressed excitement about performing for President Trump again, saying, "The pageantry is wonderful, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it.""
Gavin DeGraw
On Monday evening, following the swearing-in ceremony and other events, Gavin DeGraw has been confirmed to perform at the Starlight Ball, but the song he will sing remains uncertain.
