Nelly Joins Lineup for Trump's Liberty Inaugural Ball

Rapper Nelly is set to perform at the Liberty Inaugural Ball on January 20, celebrating Donald Trump's return to office as the 47th President of the United States. Joining Nelly will be a lineup of country artists, including Carrie Underwood, who will sing 'America the Beautiful' during the swearing-in ceremony, and Jason Aldean, among others. The event is shaping up to have a strong country music influence, marking a notable contrast to Trump's previous inauguration in 2017. Nelly's participation underscores his crossover appeal in the music industry, having previously collaborated with country artists. The event will take place amid various inaugural festivities, including a Make America Great Again rally featuring artists like Kid Rock and Billy Ray Cyrus. Several former Presidents and First Ladies are also expected to attend, although former First Lady Michelle Obama will not be present.
