Ariana Grande has seemingly reacted to Carrie Underwood’s performance at the presidential inauguration.

Underwood, 41, sang “America the Beautiful” at the inauguration of President Donald Trump on Monday, Jan. 20 in Washington, D.C.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris was seated behind the country star as she sang — and a photo of the politician during the performance was shared to Instagram by writer and social media star Evan Ross Katz.

“Kamala Harris evoking Coco Montrese (‘Girl, find the note’) watching Carrie Underwood at today’s chilling Inauguration,” Katz captioned the post in a nod to RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant Montrese, who famously told a contestant to “find the note” in 2016 confessional.

Grande, 31, was among the more than 22,000 “likes” on the Instagram post. The Wicked star previously shared that she’d voted for Harris in a selfie she shared to her Instagram Stories encouraging her followers to vote.

Reps for Grande and Underwood did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Underwood faced technical difficulties that delayed her performance inside the Capitol rotunda, and she ultimately sang a cappella, asking attendees to join her.

“You know the words,” she said, as people in the crowd including former President Joe Biden and Harris sang along.

After finishing the song, the American Idol alum shook hands with Trump and his Vice President JD Vance before exiting the stage.

Other performances throughout Trump's inaugural events included the Village People, Nelly and Billy Ray Cyrus.

“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. “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.”

Underwood had kept her political views private for years because, as she told The Guardian in 2019, "nobody wins."

"It’s crazy. Everybody tries to sum everything up and put a bow on it, like it’s black and white. And it’s not like that," she told the publication at the time.
