Mandy Moore has apparently shaded Carrie Underwood following her a cappella performance at Trump’s second inauguration on Monday.

The Tangled star, 40, who lost her family home in the devastating Los Angeles fires, liked an Instagram post shared by user Evan Ross Katz that included a close-up of the singer and Kamala Harris from foot directly behind her, according to the New York Post.

The former American Idol winner still sang America The Beautiful during the ceremony when his accompanying music couldn’t be heard amid a shocking technical glitch.

In the snap, Underwood could be seen singing the lyrics with Harris with an unimpressed reaction on her face.

“Kamala Harris evokes Coco Montrese (“Girl, Find the Note”) watching Carrie Underwood at today’s chilling inauguration,” Katz wrote in the caption, which references a quote from RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Moore double-clicked the subtle tone toward the country singer; It appears that the actress has since deleted her likes.

It was announced earlier this month that the Before He Cheats hitmaker would take the stage at the inauguration in Washington DC, which had been moved indoors due to cold temperatures.

His appearance at the event divided fans, and he broke his silence last week to address the controversial performance and expressed in a statement, according to USA Today, who had the “honor” of singing at the event.

“I love our country and I am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and be a small part of this historic event.”

Underwood added: “I am honored to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in a spirit of unity and look to the future.”

Moore wasn’t the only celebrity to hit the like button on the shady Instagram post; Ariana Grande also double-clicked the image that was shared on Monday.

Like the This Is Us actress, the Wicked star has apparently beaten her as well.

Social media users shared their reaction to Grande liking the post, with one writing in X: “I’m on Ariana’s side.”

An Underwood supporter responded: “I’m already trying to cancel Carrie Underwood for supporting Trump.” We will NOT allow them to cancel it.’

Donald Trump’s inauguration took place inside the Capitol on Monday and after officially being sworn in, Underwood took the stage to perform America The Beautiful.

After taking his place at the front, the track’s music began to play before stopping abruptly a few seconds later.

As she grabbed her microphone, the singer waited for the melody to start playing while the others also paused in the long silence.

Finally, Carrie decided to continue with the a cappella performance and encouraged the other attendees: “If you know the words, help me here.”

The star sang the lyrics to America The Beautiful and then earned cheers and applause from the crowd.

However, sources revealed to DailyMail.com that Underwood felt she had not been “given the same level of respect” as the likes of Beyoncé and Lady Gaga for her performance on Monday.

A source said she was furious at the fact that she wasn’t given ‘even a stage or platform’ like previous performers, and explained how the indoor conditions had a huge impact on Underwood’s performance.

After taking his place at the front near the podium, the track's music began to play before stopping abruptly a few seconds later.

“Carrie was dissatisfied with her performance at the event, mainly due to the limited space she was given, which left her cramped and uncomfortable,” they said.

“Her anxiety was high throughout the performance and she felt that she was not given the same level of respect or admiration that previous artists, such as Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, had received.”

“She felt like she was being pushed in and out and then she had a small fit of anger,” they added. “She’s used to playing in big venues with a stage to herself. They didn’t give him a stage or a platform.

‘It felt like he was literally in a room with people around him and a microphone. This affected the acoustics.’

An inside source clarified that although Underwood’s performance “wasn’t ideal,” she’s still “proud of herself” for being able to “save him from being a total disaster.”

Another source also revealed Carrie’s list of demands ahead of her inauguration performance.

‘Carrie was the diva of opening day. She had been telling anyone who would listen that Trump called her personally to ask her to take action.

'Carrie was the diva of opening day.

‘Carrie was the diva of opening day. “She had been telling anyone who would listen that Trump called her personally to ask her to take action,” another source told DailyMail.com.

“She hired an army of security, ordered a handmade designer dress for the performance, and demanded to be allowed a crew of 20. Of course, on top of that she also demanded tickets for her family and friends.”

Regarding the reaction she received after agreeing to sing at the event, the source shared that Underwood “stopped reading the reaction because Carrie doesn’t care what other people think of her.”

‘She stopped caring years ago. She has very humble origins, but she is no longer the same person.’

“He’ll definitely get a ton of endorsement and promotional deals, and this will certainly boost his record sales,” the source continued.
