"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," she said in a statement 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."

Inauguration events will start on Saturday with a fireworks celebration. After the swearing-in and parade on Inauguration Day, Trump will attend and deliver remarks at three inaugural balls.

Recently, Underwood performed a medley of her hits on New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest on ABC, ahead of her return to "American Idol" as a judge later this year.
