Inauguration Lineup Announced
In addition to the political crowd-planning that's part of the pomp and circumstance of a presidential inauguration, three musical stars will join the swearing-in ceremony in a couple weeks.
Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor will each take part in Obama's second inauguration, the Presidential Inaugural Committee said this morning. Knowles will sing the National Anthem, Clarkson, "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," and Taylor, "America the Beautiful."
The trio supported President Obama in the campaign.
Beyonce urged fans to vote and posted a letter endorsing the president to her website. She also sported earrings with Obama's name on them and hosted an Obama fundraiser with her husband, Jay-Z, in New York City.
Though she tweeted, "I love Ron Paul," and says she's a Republican at heart, Clarkson said she was voting for Obama again this fall because of his difference from Mitt Romney on social issues.
