Carrie Underwood's Trump inauguration performance stirs controversy, sparking concerns over 'American Idol's' values and ratings.

American Idol is heading into its 25th season later this year, but former contestant and Idol winner Carrie Underwood’s recent performance at President Donald Trump’s second inauguration has reportedly turned into the “worst-case scenario” for the show.

Carrie Underwood is gearing up to perform at President-elect Donald Trump's swearing-in ceremony.

But the former "American Idol" winner expressed her love for the United States when she agreed to perform at the momentous occasion.
