Undisputed queen of pop, Beyoncé is set to perform at President Obama’s upcoming inauguration.
The ceremony takes place on 21 January and swears the Democrat in to his second term in office.
And it’s now been revealed that Obama has personally asked Ms. Knowles to sing the American national anthem at the event.
So it seems Beyoncé will be quite busy the next few weeks, what with this, a possible Timberlake collaboration and her upcoming HBO documentary set to air.
That film will air in February, with the trailer available for streaming below:
