On January 20th, in Washington DC, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the President of the United States. The highlight of the inauguration is set to be the musical performances, with country musicians taking center stage.
Billy Ray Cyrus and Kid Rock to Perform
Country artists such as Billy Ray Cyrus, known for hits like “Achy Breaky Heart,” and Kid Rock, a long-time supporter of the Republican Party and President-elect, will be gracing the event with their performances. Billy Ray Cyrus, father of pop star Miley Cyrus, openly endorsed Trump during the 2024 election. Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Richie, has been a vocal supporter of Trump for years. He previously sang at the Republican National Convention in 2024 and joined Trump at a UFC event in November.
Jason Aldean and Rascal Flatts Among Performers
Moreover, country singer Jason Aldean, known for dedicating his song “Try That in A Small Town” to Trump, will be performing at The Liberty Ball. The event will also feature musicians like Lee Greenwood and The Village People. Greenwood, who performed at Trump’s previous inauguration, expressed his excitement for his second performance, stating, “I am thrilled to sing a song for my friend, Trump, once again.”
The band Rascal Flatts will be taking the stage at the Commander-in-Chief Ball, dedicated to military members, along with singer-songwriter Parker McCollum. Rascal Flatts vocalist Gary LeVox shared his excitement for the event on Instagram, promising an unforgettable night. American Idol star Carrie Underwood, a multiple Grammy winner, will also be present, singing “America The Beautiful” with the US armed forces choir before Trump takes the oath of office.
Christopher Macchio and Kanye West Potential Guests
In addition to the musical lineup, classical singer Christopher Macchio will perform “Oh, America!” before Vice President JD Vance’s oath-taking ceremony, concluding with the national anthem. Among the potential attendees at the Trump-Vance inauguration is rapper Kanye West, a vocal supporter of Trump who met with him in the Oval Office in 2018. When asked earlier this year about his political affiliation, West stated, “Yes, of course. Trump has always been my choice.”
This star-studded lineup promises to make Donald Trump’s inauguration a memorable event filled with music and entertainment for all attendees.
