Katy Perry, Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake, and John Legend were among the performers who played during last night’s Celebrating America special in honor of Joe Biden’s inauguration as the 46th President of the United States.
Demi Lovato delivered a rendition of Bill Withers’ classic ‘Lovely Day’, while Justin Timberlake performed his new song with Ant Clemons, ‘Better Days’. John Legend performed ‘Feeling Good’, a song popularized by Nina Simone in the 1960s, and Katy Perry closed out the special by singing her hit ‘Firework’ under a literal firework display. Black Pumas, Tim McGraw, and Jon Bon Jovi also performed during the Tom Hanks-hosted event. You can check out their performances below.
Yesterday’s Inauguration Day celebrations also featured performances from Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, Lady Gaga, and New Radicals.
It’s a lovely day around the USA! Thank you @ddlovato for helping America get dancing tonight. 💃🇺🇸 #Inauguration2021 pic.twitter.com/QtRxWg0mQD
