The 31-year-old singer has been chosen to sing the National Anthem at the prestigious event on January 21, it was announced on Wednesday. A vocal supporter of the President, the singer has been chosen to perform along with Kelly Clarkson who will sing My Country, 'Tis Of Thee and James Taylor who will be singing America The Beautiful on the West Front of the US Capitol in Washington, D.C, the Presidential Inaugural Committee revealed. 'Vice President Biden and I are honored to have these wonderfully talented musical artists perform at the Inaugural ceremony. Their music is often at the heart of the American story and speaks to folks across the country.''
Beyonce said Obama had inspired the future generation, including her own daughter. 'Every day we see your heart and character, inspiring us to give more of ourselves,' she wrote. 'You are the leader to take us from where we are to where we need to be. You are the reason my daughter and nephew will grow up knowing that they can truly be ANYTHING they want to be. 'All my respect and adoration, Beyonce.'
She also designed a clothing including an onsie for babies to raise money for President Obama's re-election campaign and posed on her blog wearing a Texans for Obama tee.
