Ariana Grande likes shady post about Carrie Underwood at Trump inauguration



Glinda’s got shade.

Ariana Grande “liked” an Instagram post that made fun of Carrie Underwood for her performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday.

The post, shared by internet personality Evan Ross Katz, featured a picture of Underwood, 41, singing “America the Beautiful” a cappella because of technical difficulties inside the US Capitol in Washington D.C.

The image showed Kamala Harris — whom Grande, 31, endorsed in the election against Trump, 78, last year — standing behind Underwood with a less-than-impressed expression of her face during the performance.

“Kamala Harris evoking Coco Montrese (‘Girl, find the note’) watching Carrie Underwood at today’s chilling Inauguration,” Katz wrote in his caption, referencing a quote from “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”

Internet users quickly noticed that Grande was among the thousands of people who double-tapped on Katz’s post.

“She’s not afraid to throw some shade when it feels deserved,” one fan wrote on X, alongside a screenshot of Grande’s “like” on the post.

“We stand with ariana,” another fan wrote.

A third person wrote, “She’s always on the right side of history.”

However, others defended Underwood’s performance given the circumstances of the technical blunder.

“I thought she did a good job, though. There was no music and she didn’t know what was going on. I could have never sung like that!” a fan tweeted.

“There was a technical problem with the music, so she had to sing a capella. She didn’t do a bad job considering,” a different comment read.

“Carrie did a wonderful job and showed she was a professional,” added another fan.

The Post has reached out to Grande and Underwood’s reps for comment.

Underwood received both support and backlash when it was announced she’d perform at Trump’s inauguration.

“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. 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,” she said in a statement when the news was announced last week.

Country singer Lee Greenwood, who also performed at the inauguration, defended Underwood.

“I pity those people that think they have to reach out to a star like her and run some negativity past her when all you have to do is say, ‘Thank you for performing for our next president,’” he told The Post.

Before the inauguration, Underwood never publicly supported or disavowed Trump.

Grande, meanwhile, openly endorsed Trump’s opponent in the 2024 election.

The “Eternal Sunshine” singer confirmed she voted for Harris, 60, through Florida’s early voting program in Oct. 2024. She shared a selfie on her Instagram Stories played to Beyonce’s song “Freedom” with a sticker that read “your vote matters.”

Three months earlier, Grande shared Joe Biden’s Instagram message where he endorsed Harris after he dropped out of the race.
