As if the list of performances wasn’t impressive enough for President-elect
Joe Biden
‘s inauguration special,
Celebrating America
, the primetime TV event confirmed another major artist is joining the star-powered lineup:
Katy Perry
.
Katy teased her upcoming participation Tuesday night when
she shared a snap
of her holding four patriotic-looking microphones along with a cryptic caption of an American flag and black heart emoji.
The “Roar” singer’s array included a microphone styled to look like the torch held by the Statue of Liberty, a microphone blinged-out to look like the American flag, a chrome mic with glittery silver stars, and a modest all-white microphone.
The photo, which was also shared to Twitter, was
retweeted
by the official Biden Inaugural Committee, confirming the
American Idol
judge’s performance.
Fans have since began speculating that the four microphones are a direct hint as to the number of songs the Grammy nominee will perform.
Katy now joins an impressive list of singers who are set to ring in the Biden administration Wednesday night, which includes
Justin Timberlake
,
Jon Bon Jovi
