Lady Gaga has been tapped to sing the National Anthem at Presiden-Elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.

The Chromatica popstar will perform “The Star-Spangled Banner” during Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris’ swearing-in ceremony on January 20th (via Variety).

It’s a grand honor for Gaga, a culmination of her long-standing support for the Democratic politician, which included stumping and performing at a rally on the eve of the 2020 election.
 
The Biden-Harris inauguration is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. ET on January 20th and take place on the West side of the US Capitol. Following last week’s storming of the Capitol, security is expected to be greatly beefed up, though much of the programming will take place virtually. That includes the usual parade and a televised special called Celebrating America featuring Justin Timberlake, Demi Lovato, and host Tom Hanks.
