Carrie Underwood found herself yet again at the center of an online debate this week after short videos of her performance at the John Deere Classic in Illinois circulated on social media, prompting some users to speculate that the country star’s popularity had waned. Furthermore, Underwood’s critics are pointing to her MAGA and Trump associations as the cause for this perceived “falling off,” even going so far as to brand the singer a “full MAGA.”
The clips, which showed Underwood singing on a stage set up along the golf course at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, were shared with captions suggesting she was performing before only a handful of spectators. Some commenters linked the purportedly small crowd to criticism she faced after appearing at President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration.
