by

Lady Gaga was one of the many performers during the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday, singing the national anthem before the swearing-in ceremony. After the event, Garth Brooks, who was present to play “Amazing Grace,” used Twitter to congratulate Gaga, writing that she was “fabulous.”

“You were fabulous today and every day,” Brooks tweeted. “A national treasure. Please tell Frederick and Miss Sarah thank you for me! Today they saved a cowboy. Oh, and tell Miss Sarah to hug her mother for me! Love, g.” The country star is likely to be referring to Gaga’s stylist and makeup artist Frederic Aspiras and Sarah Tanno, respectively, apparently indicating that they helped him with his own appearance during Wednesday’s event.

Gaga tweeted Wednesday that singing the national anthem at the opening was “an honor of mine.” “I will sing during a ceremony, a transition, a moment of change, between POTUS 45 and 46. For me, this has great meaning,” he wrote, adding, “My intention is to recognize our past, heal ourselves for our present and be passionate about a future where we work together with love. I will sing in the hearts of all the people who live on this earth. Respectfully and kindly, Lady Gaga” . The New York native also exhibited a detail of her dress, a large gold pin she wore that represented a dove carrying an olive branch.

Brooks said Monday at a news conference that he hoped to send a message of unity with his performance. “This is a big day in our house. It’s not a political statement, it’s a statement of unity,” he told reporters. “That’s history and it’s an honor to be able to serve. That’s how I can serve this country.”

“We’re more divided than ever, so that bridge that unites us … I could be the only Republican in this place, but it stretches, loving each other because that’s what will probably make us spend the most divided we have, ”he added. “I want divided times to be left behind. I want to be able to differ on opinions and embrace each other in the same football game.”
