Carrie Underwood, Snoop Dogg and Nelly have faced backlash for agreeing to perform at Donald Trump ’s inauguration party and related events. Underwood, 41, will sing America the Beautiful at the bash on Monday night and said last week that she feels “honored” to be part of a “historic event” at the US Capitol.

Rapper Nelly is defending his decision to perform at President-elect Trump's inauguration. A source close to the artist confirmed he'll be at the Liberty Ball.

It is an honor for me to perform for the president of the United States, regardless of who is in office,” the rapper said.
