In a time when political decisions often lead to public outcry or cancellation, Whoopi Goldberg takes a stand in support of Carrie Underwood's controversial choice to perform at Donald Trump's second inauguration.

AceShowbiz - Whoopi Goldberg spoke out in support of Carrie Underwood's decision to perform at Donald Trump's second inauguration, addressing the fan backlash against the singer.

On "The View," Goldberg said she respected Underwood's right to choose where she wants to perform, stating, "I have to support. It doesn't mean I'm particularly interested in what I won't be watching."

Goldberg's comments were echoed by co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who criticized the tendency to "cancel people's livelihood" for political reasons. Griffin speculated that Underwood's decision could make her an "icon of MAGA," arguing that it was a sound business move from a financial perspective.

Some co-hosts disagreed with Goldberg's stance. Joy Behar stated that she would not legitimize Trump's inauguration by attending or performing. Sunny Hostin won't watch the inauguration either and instead "scheduled a spa day."

Underwood's decision to perform "America the Beautiful" at the inauguration also sparked controversy among her fans. In a statement, Underwood emphasized her love for her country and her hope for unity.

Other performers set to appear at the inauguration include the Village People, who have faced criticism for participating in an event associated with Trump. The band defended their decision, stating that "music is to be performed without regard to politics."
