Beyonce Knowles was given the honour to be the singer chosen to sing the song for the President and the first lady on their first dance for the first of the 10 inaugural balls that was held after Obama’s inaugural speech.
Obama captured the heart of the Americans as well as with the people around the world. He made history being the first black American to become president of the most influential country in the world. Being a part of his inauguration is such a privilege and Beyonce is so happy, being a black American woman herself, to be part of this momentous and historical occasion.
She stated how honored she felt to be chosen to perform for President Obama and his first lady. She chose to sing “At Last” for the first couple. The Presidential Inaugural Committee announced last Tuesday that Beyonce will be singing for the couple but the title of the song was kept confidential to keep everyone guessing but, Beyonce couldn’t keep her excitement to herself and revealed her song last Friday.
Beyonce and her husband are supporters of Obama and they even went campaigning for him. Now that Obama is our new President, it’s no wonder why she just couldn’t keep her excitement. With all of her performances, this is the most historical for the world and for sure, for her too.
It was indeed a great occasion. Finally, a black American is the President of the United States and we all bear witnesses to this great change.
