Carrie Underwood showed off her vocal prowess and professionalism during her performance at President Donald Trump's inauguration, but the moment was not without its fair share of controversy.

After the event, a post that seemed to shade Underwood went viral, and Ariana Grande's unexpected "like" caught the attention of fans.

At the event, held in the Rotunda of the US Capitol, the "American Idol" alum sang "America the Beautiful" in front of a distinguished audience, including the president, his family and prominent political figures.

Underwood's decision to perform a cappellaprompted by an unexpected audio failure, it became the focal point of the event. When the accompanying instrumental track didn't play, the experienced performer didn't miss a beat. She blurted out, "I can only sing it," before confidently taking the microphone and beginning to perform. Her quick thinking and grace under pressure were met with applause from the audience, who joined her in the performance.

Members of the Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club lent their voices, creating a powerful and unifying moment that turned a potential mishap into a highlight of the ceremony.

A now-viral Instagram post poked fun at the country singer's a cappella moment, captioning a picture of the vice president Kamala Harris looking at Underwood with, "Kamala Harris evokes Coco Montrese ('Girl, Find the Note') watching Carrie Underwood at today's creepy inauguration," referencing the famous line from "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars."

The post attracted attention not only for its humor but also for a surprising interaction from pop star Ariana Grande.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Grande had "liked" the questionable post. Social media users were quick to comment on the interaction. "Ariana liked this lmfao (smiley emoji)," wrote one fan, while another added: "ARIANA HAHAH."

A third chimed in with a reference to the performance's technical issues, joking: “Her tape broke so she had to sing acapella? The gays did it!!!”

Although the humorous post went viral, many came to Underwood's defense, applauding her poise in handling technical difficulties. Fans described her as a "class act" and praised her ability to turn an unexpected challenge into a heartfelt and memorable moment. One supporter wrote: “Problems or not, she made it. It's a true professional.”

Underwood's look was also known for its elegance. She wore a sleeveless white draped dress, paired with diamond earrings, embodying the dignity of the occasion. After her performance, she received a warm thank you from President Trump and Vice President JD Vanceshaking hands and sharing smiles with the nation's leaders.

After it was announced that Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in the recent presidential election, Ariana Grande took to her Instagram Stories to share a heartfelt message of solidarity with her fans, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community.

On a dark black background, Grande wrote: "Holding the hand of every person today who feels the immense weight of this outcome." With her message, "yes, and?" singer shared resources aimed at supporting the LGBTQ+ community during this challenging time.

Grande's message is a continuation of her longstanding advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights. On International Transgender Day of Visibility in 2022, she pledged to donate up to $1.5 million to the Protect & Defend Trans Youth Fund, which benefits 18 organizations dedicated to supporting trans youth. Her commitment to activism has been a defining aspect of her public persona, as she consistently uses her platform to amplify important causes.

In addition to LGBTQ+ advocacy, Grande has been a vocal supporter of reproductive rights. In 2019, she donated $250,000 to Planned Parenthood and later joined the #BansOffOurBodies campaign, further cementing her commitment to protecting individual liberties and access to health care.

Grande's philanthropic efforts extend to her live performances. She has participated in numerous charity concerts, including a 2015 performance with Miley Cyrus for the Happy Hippie Foundation, which supports LGBTQ+ youth.

She also headlined NYC Pride's 27th annual Dance on the Pier, raising funds for organizations such as TKO Society, TENT, and JASMYN.
