Carrie Underwood performed «America the Beautiful» despite technical difficulties. Opera singer Christopher Macchio sang «Oh, America» and the national anthem. Singer Lee Greenwood also performed before Donald Trump’s oath.

During the Liberty Ball on January 20, 2025, singer Billy performed his hit «Achy Breaky Heart» and his collaboration with Lil Nas X called «Old Town Road». During the performance, he asked his team, «Is my guitar still on?» and then said, «I think I’ve been cut off. I can’t hear my guitar anymore». Billy desperately asked his team, «Is anyone awake? I can’t hear. Do you hear? Is anyone there? Can someone turn my guitar back on? We’ll keep singing». After asking for help and being left helpless on stage, a crew member finally came to fix his guitar. He continued to tell the crowd, «When you have technical difficulties, you just have to keep going, or as President Trump would say, 'you have to fight'».

The next day, Billy explained what happened during this confusing moment to People magazine: «I wouldn’t have missed the honor of performing at this event, even if the microphone, guitar, and monitors weren’t working. I was there because President Donald J. Trump invited me. I had a great time at the Liberty Ball last night and I’ve learned over all these years, when the producer says, 'You're on stage,' you go entertain people, even if the equipment goes to hell. I was there for the people and we had a great time. That’s called rock and roll».

Billy divorced singer Fairrouz in August 2024. Billy was «relieved» by this decision and shared in a statement to the Associated Press: «I'm just very relieved… and thankful today for the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, it all happened like this. It was a matter of the heart. Love is blind… that’s for sure».

Fairrouz had already changed her last name to Cyrus before their marriage, so Billy’s lawyers say he felt that this step «confirmed his claim that his ex-wife's sole purpose was to get his last name»
