The singer stood on the podium where the ceremony was being conducted with a gold microphone in hand and wearing a full red skirt with black coat jacket, featuring a large gold brooch of a dove pinned to her chest which she later explained was "a dove carrying an olive branch. May we all make peace with each other."

"Singing our National Anthem for the American People is my honour," Gaga tweeted.
"I will sing during a ceremony, a transition, a moment of change—between POTUS 45 and 46. For me, this has great meaning.
"My intention is to acknowledge our past, be healing for our present, and passionate for a future where we work together lovingly. I will sing to the hearts of all people who live on this land. Respectfully and kindly, Lady Gaga"
