Beyonce, President Obama: Singer Will Perform National Anthem at Inauguration

Beyonce National Anthem Inaguruation President ObamaTwitter

Beyonce has a long-standing relationship with Barack and Michelle Obama, so it seems fitting that the R&B superstar has been elected to sing the National Anthem during the Inaugural ceremony this year.

The event will be held on Monday, Jan. 21 at the West Front End of the United States Capitol in Washington DC. Although the "Irreplaceable" singer sang the Etta James classic "At Last" during the Inaugural ball in 2009, she wasn't part of the official ceremony.

Aside from Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor have both been tapped to perform for the patriotic event. Clarkson will sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee," a privilege that went to Aretha Franklin for Obama's first election ceremony and Taylor will play "America the Beautiful."
