President Obama’s second inauguration may be smaller than his first, but the star power is just as bright. Beyoncé was hand-selected by POTUS himself to sing the national anthem, Kelly Clarkson will perform “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” and James Taylor will sing ‘America the Beautiful.”

R&B veterans Alicia Keys, Usher and John Legend have also been added to the line-up of entertainers for inaugural festivities. Additional acts include Motown legends Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson, Katy Perry, fun., Marc Anthony, Brad Paisley, Far East Movement, Mindless Behavior, Nick Cannon and the cast of Glee.

In 2009, Alicia belted “No One” at President Obama’s inaugural ball and joined Stevie and friends for an incredible group performance of “Signed Sealed Delivered.”
