The day has finally arrived! On Jan. 20, Joe Biden was officially sworn in [1] as the 46th president of the United States, with Kamala Harris [2] as his vice president. Though this year's inauguration was unlike any other in US history, the celebration still included the performances, tributes, and parades that we're used to; however, it was before a small, socially distanced crowd in Washington DC.
Lady Gaga [3] — who campaigned for Biden and Harris [4] in November 2020 — was the first to kick things off by belting out a beautiful performance of the national anthem. Jennifer Lopez [5] followed by performing a rendition of "This Land Is Your Land" on stage. On top of that, poet Amanda Gorman delivered a special poetry reading [6] at the inauguration and, as a result, made history as the youngest inaugural poet in memory at age 22. Later in the day, John Legend [7], Demi Lovato [8], Katy Perry [9], and more performed in the Celebrating America inaugural concert to commemorate the momentous occasion. Ahead, check out all the star-studded performances from the Biden-Harris inauguration.
