Keith has received some criticism online for performing for Trump on Jan. 20, but he has a different reason.
“I don’t apologize for performing for our country or military,” Keith said in a statement, according to EW. “I performed at events for previous presidents [George W.] Bush and [Barack] Obama and over 200 shows in Iraq and Afghanistan for the USO.”
3 Doors Down, Lee Greenwood, The Piano Guys, and the Frontmen of Country will also perform. The Rockettes, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and pop-classical singer Jackie Evancho will also perform.
