Donald Trump will celebrate becoming the next president with two of his favorite country artists. Both Jason Aldean, a longtime friend and supporter of Trump, and the recently-reunited trio Rascal Flatts are performing at the Inaugural Ball. The celebration happens after Trump becomes the 47th President of the United States.

Of course, Aldean and Rascal Flatts are just two of the many artists who will perform at the star-studded event. Kid Rock, Billy Cyrus, and The Village People will join them as performers.
Carrie Underwood recently confirmed she will sing at the inauguration. The American Idol alum will sing "America the Beautiful," backed by the Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club.
"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 says (via USA Today). "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."
"Try That In A Small Town"
Aldean dedicated "Try That In A Small Town" to Trump, following the attempted assassination on the future president. In July of 2024, a bullet grazed Trump when he was speaking at a rally. Aldean was performing the same night as the shooting.
"What happened in Pittsburgh today with our former president, Mr. Trump, you guys know about this, right?" Aldean said from stage.
"President Trump's a friend of mine so I want to send this next song out to him," he continued. "We all know what's going to happen come November, so it's all good. Just goes to show you there's a lot of bulls--t in the world, and that's kind of what this song right here was about, so this one goes out to the Pres."
Aldean will likely perform "Try That In A Small Town" as part of his setlist during the Inaugural Ball. The inauguration ceremony begins at 11:00 AM ET. The event will stream live on ABC, CBS, CNN, CSPAN, Fox News, MSNBC, NBC and PBS.
