Carrie Underwood is set to sing “America the Beautiful” at Donald Trump‘s inauguration Jan. 20 in Washington, D.C.

“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” she said in a 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.”

Most recently, Carrie performed a medley of her hits on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest on ABC, ahead of her return to American Idol as a judge later this year.

Trump supporter Lee Greenwood is also expected to perform at the ceremony, presumably his 1984 hit “God Bless the U.S.A.”  

Four years ago, Garth Brooks sang “Amazing Grace” for the inauguration of President Joe Biden.
