Kid Rock to perform at Donald Trump’s inaugural celebration after Carrie Underwood shocker
DC about to get bawitdaba.
Kid Rock will join Carrie Underwood in performing at Donald Trump’s inaugural celebrations that kick off this weekend.
The “We The People” singer, 53, will take the stage at the president-elect’s “Victory Rally” on Sunday at the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC, according to Axios.
Rock — real name Robert James Ritchie — has frequently referred to Trump as a “great friend” and one of his “besties.” He was one of the first mainstream entertainers to support the former “Apprentice” host when he ran for president in 2016.
“I’m digging Donald Trump,” he told Rolling Stone in 2016 before the Republican primaries had even begun. “My feeling: Let the business guy run it like a business. And his campaign has been entertaining as s–t.”
Cut to November 2024, when the rocker went viral for a lewd video celebrating Trump’s win.
In addition to Rock, the 1970s disco group and longtime Trump favorite the Village People is also slated to perform.
Permanently enmeshed in MAGA lore, the band’s 1978 earworm “YMCA” spurred the birth of “the Trump Dance” and was frequently played throughout the 2024 campaign.
Billy Ray Cyrus will also be in the lineup.
Meanwhile, Underwood, 41, will sing “America the Beautiful” at Trump’s official inauguration at the US Capitol on Jan. 20.
“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,” the “Before He Cheats” chanteuse said in a statement to The Post on Monday. “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.”
Lee Greenwood will sing “Proud to Be an American” as Trump walks onto the inaugural platform, and opera singer Christopher Macchio will perform the national anthem, according to Axios.
At the inaugural ball just hours later, country singer Jason Aldean — whose surprise 2023 hit “Try That in a Small Town” took root among the MAGA faithful — will reportedly play along with Rascal Flatts.
The president-elect is personally choosing the musical acts at his inauguration events to reflect his eclectic tastes, Axios reported, citing an inauguration official.
