President-elect Donald Trump has selected opera tenor Christopher Macchio to perform the national anthem at his second inauguration.

In a story published Jan. 18, 2025, about opera tenor Christopher Macchio set to sing the national anthem at Donald Trump’s inauguration, The Associated Press erroneously reported that Macchio performed at Trump’s 70th birthday party.

A host of big-name performers including Kid Rock and country singer Jason Aldean will be making their way to Washington to perform at various presidential inauguration events over the weekend.

Country music star Carrie Underwood will perform “America the Beautiful” at Donald Trump’s inauguration next week and the 1970s hitmakers Village People will perform at two inaugural events.
