She sang “America the Beautiful” shortly before the oath of office. Country and country-associated acts also filled several of the surrounding events, including the January 19 Make America Great Again Victory Rally and the inaugural balls. The lineup was mixed, though, and included a rock-leaning act, a pop-era group, an opera singer, and a contemporary singer who is not a country performer.
This article covers the January 2025 events as they were announced and reported at the time. It is a retrospective, not a live schedule.

Only the ceremony placements are backed by an official program. Rally and ball bookings rest on announcements and pre-event reporting. The sources cited here do not include a verified, complete set list for any event, so the table shows who was booked, not who performed which song. Treat each rally and ball entry as an announced booking unless a separate, event-specific report confirms it.
