Jennifer Lopez had already sung the famed folk song This Land is Your Land and was midway through America the Beautiful when she paused to deliver a patriotic message at President Biden s inauguration: One nation, under God, she said in Spanish. Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Then Lopez started singing again, but it wasn t either of the numbers she had previously announced. Let s get loud! she belted as the United States Marine Band soared into a crescendo.
