We reported the rumor a few weeks ago, but now it’s official. Kelly Clarkson will perform at the seconds inauguration of President Obama on January 21. The inauguration committee will announce the news officially today.

Kelly will sing the patriotic song, “My Country Tis of Thee.”

The American Idol Season 1 winner, who admits to being a republican, announced her support  of Obama before November’s election. His support of gay and women’s rights ultimately won the singer over.

Also performing are Beyonce, who will sing the National Anthem and James Taylor who is set to croon America the Beautiful,.

An estimated 1.8 million people turned up on the National Mall to watch the historic inauguration of  President Obama in 2009.

    Its the inauguration – party doesn’t matter, the die has been cast.  George W. Bush & Ronald Reagan were my president.  Bill Clinton & Barak Obama, also my president.  

    If she voted for him or not, red state/blue state, its still an honor.

     Romney did that all on his own.  Kind of hard to refute your own words on video, and your own acts.

    I don’t think celebs should venture in to politics.  Celebs have more influence than anyone.
