The list of performers at President-elect Donald Trump’s second inauguration is out and it includes country music star and Checotah native Carrie Underwood.

Reports said Underwood will perform “America the Beautiful” at the U.S. Capitol on January 20th.

“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.” Underwood said. “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.”

Underwood will be the second Oklahoman to perform at a Trump inauguration. The late Toby Keith performed at Trump’s first inauguration in 2017.

Other performers this year include Village People, the group behind the hit “Y.M.C.A.” - a staple at Trump events.

“We know this wont make some of you happy to hear however we believe that music is to be performed without regard to politics.” The band posted on social media.

Lee Greenwood and Christopher Macchio are also set to perform, according to the Associated Press.
