Lady Gaga led the musical contributions to President Biden’s inauguration ceremony, with a bold and crisp rendition of the US National Anthem.

Wearing a blood red ball gown and with a large gold dove pinned to her chest, the pop star gave The Star-Spangled banner the full Broadway treatment, effortlessly navigating its notoriously tricky vocal leaps.
