Washington, D.C., Jan 15, (V7N) - Lady Gaga captivated millions with her breathtaking performance during the 59th Presidential Inauguration on January 20, 2021. The Grammy and Academy Award-winning artist performed a moving rendition of the national anthem at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC. The historic event marked the swearing-in of Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States and Kamala Harris as the first female vice president, alongside being the first of Black and South Asian heritage.

Gaga, known for her powerful voice and dynamic stage presence, appeared in a striking ensemble featuring a blue jacket and a flowing red skirt, accompanied by a gold dove brooch symbolizing peace. Her performance resonated as a call for unity and hope amid a deeply divided nation.

As the next presidential inauguration approaches, the spotlight turns to country music sensation Carrie Underwood. On January 20, 2025, Underwood is set to perform the national anthem at Donald Trump’s second inauguration ceremony. Trump, who served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021, is returning to the Oval Office following his victory in the 2024 election.

Underwood's selection for the prestigious role underscores her standing as one of the most celebrated figures in American music, with a career marked by Grammy wins and chart-topping hits. Her performance is expected to bring a blend of patriotism and musical excellence to the occasion.

This juxtaposition of two iconic artists performing at pivotal moments in American history highlights the intersection of politics and culture, with music serving as a unifying force during moments of transition and celebration.
