There was also a television special held after the event called "Made in America" hosted by Tom Hanks and many others.

She explained that she intended to acknowledge the past, heal for the present, and be passionate for the future, where they all worked together lovingly. Finalizing, she added that she would sing to the hearts of all the people who lived on the American land.

Though the inauguration had been one to remember for thousands of Americans, it was different from the usual since supporters were forced to stay at home due to the pandemic and other safety reasons.

Gaga was also not the only star who performed as it featured Jennifer Lopez and Garth Brooks' performances. There was also a television special held after the event called "Made in America" hosted by Tom Hanks and many others.

However, it goes without notice that this is not Gaga's first time giving a heart-rending performance of the national anthem on the national stage. In 2016, she stunned the crowd at the Super Bowl with yet another beautiful rendition.
