Whoopi Goldberg defends Carrie Underwood after Donald Trump performance backlash. A fallout was unleashed on Monday when it was revealed that American Idol star Underwood is set to perform at Trump’s presidential inauguration ceremony next week. Some fans of the eight-time Grammy award-winning singer turned on her over the news – but she has now been passionately defended by The View star Goldberg. The TV panellist, who has been a prolific critic of Trump, said, “People do what they do for whatever reason… I stand behind her.”
