Although Whoopi Goldberg has her reservations about President-elect Donald Trump, she is backing Carrie Underwood’s choice to perform at his inauguration.

On “The View,” the hosts discussed Underwood’s recent announcement about singing “America the Beautiful” next week prior to Trump’s swearing-in for a second term. While some critics expressed discontent with Underwood’s decision, Goldberg stood up for the “American Idol” alum.

“I support her choice,” she stated. “If I believe I can decide to perform wherever I want, then she has that same right. I have to back her up on this. It doesn’t mean I’m particularly inclined to watch it. In fact, I won’t be watching. But that’s just me.”

Goldberg drew parallels between this situation and the criticism faced by “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski after they met with Trump following his election victory. She argued that like Underwood, the MSNBC duo made the choices they thought were best, and she stands with them.

However, not all of Goldberg’s co-hosts shared her views. Joy Behar remarked she would “not normalize” Trump by participating in his inauguration, and Sunny Hostin concurred that, if she were in Underwood’s position, she would decline the invitation to perform.

Yet, Behar also noted she wouldn’t discourage anyone from performing at the inauguration since she believes strongly in “free speech,” and Hostin agreed that artists can perform wherever they choose.

Alyssa Farah Griffin expressed hope that society is moving past a time when political disagreements lead to attempts to cancel someone’s career. She suggested that those opposed to Underwood’s decision could express their dissatisfaction by choosing not to stream her music or attend her concerts.

Griffin speculated that Underwood’s performance might be a strategic career move, noting that it could elevate her status among Trump supporters and potentially be financially beneficial for her.

In a statement on Monday, Underwood expressed, “I love our country and am honored to have been invited to perform at the Inauguration. Being part of this historic event humbles me, especially at a time when unity is so important as we look to the future.”

Behar took issue with Underwood’s statement, questioning, “How can you say you love your country while supporting and normalizing someone who has a criminal record and seems intent on harming the nation, in my opinion?”

The Village People announced on their Facebook page on Monday that they would also be involved in inauguration festivities, stating, “We understand this might not sit well with some of you, but we believe that music transcends politics.” They added that their song “Y.M.C.A” serves as a “global anthem” aimed at uniting the country after a divisive campaign where their preferred candidate did not succeed.
