Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez will lend their voices to President-elect Joe Biden s inauguration next week, performing when he officially becomes the 46th president of the United States, Biden s Presidential Inaugural Committee announced Thursday morning.
The announcement detailing participants in the 59th inaugural swearing-In ceremony represents one of the more traditional aspects of Biden s inauguration, which has been largely altered amid the COVID-19 pandemic to accommodate an at-home audience, and faces new concerns over security in the wake of riots at the U.S. Capitol last week that left five dead.
Lady Gaga will sing the national anthem at Joe Biden's inauguration and Jennifer Lopez will give a musical performance on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol when Biden is sworn in as the nation's 46th president next Wednesday.
Lady Gaga will perform the national anthem at President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony and Jennifer Lopez will hold a musical performance of her own on Jan. 20 at the U.S. Capitol.
