From the White House to the Super Bowl, Beyonc is going to have a pretty epic few weeks beginning on 21st January when she performs the national anthem at President Barack Obama's second inauguration.
According to USA Today, Beyonc will take the stage at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol, and will be joined by Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor during the event.
Clarkson will sing My Country, 'Tis of Thee, which soul icon Aretha Franklin memorably sang at Obama's first inauguration while wearing an oversized hat. Taylor has been tipped to perform America the Beautiful.
