Tonight’s special show “Celebrating America” celebrating the opening of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ended with a performance by Katy Perry. His performance was framed in a really huge display of fireworks surrounding the monument in Washington while Biden, Harris and their families watched. Naturally, he sang “Firework.” See what happens next.
Tonight’s special performers included Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, Justin Timberlake with Ant Clemons, Demi Lovato and John Legend. The swearing-in ceremony earlier in the day featured performances by Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez and Garth Brooks. The day’s events also included a virtual parade featuring a unique performance by the New Radicals, who performed “You Get What You Give”.
