Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Garth Brooks Bring Star Power to Biden Inauguration

Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez delivered powerful performances at Wednesday’s inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Gaga sang the national anthem, while Lopez performed a medley of patriotic songs that included “This Land Is Your Land.”

The stirring performance came one day after Gaga sent her fans a message of hope to usher in the new administration.

 “I pray tomorrow will be a day of peace for all Americans,” Gaga tweeted. “A day for love, not hatred. A day for acceptance not fear. A day for dreaming of our future joy as a country. A dream that is non-violent, a dream that provides safety for our souls. Love, from the Capitol.”

Gaga joins a long, storied history of artists who’ve performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” at presidential inaugurations, including Rev. Jesse Jackson’s daughter Santita Jackson (Bill Clinton, 1993, 1997), Beyoncé (Barack Obama, 2013) and America’s Got Talent runner-up Jackie Evancho (Donald Trump).

Meanwhile, leading up the event, Jennifer Lopez shared a picture with National Guard troops near the Capitol, which she shared on Instagram.

“What an honor to spend a few moments with these brave men and women. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I honor you today and everyday. Tomorrow I sing for you and all Americans,” she captioned it.

Garth Brooks and John Legend also performed as part of the celebration.
