At Obama’s first inauguration, Star-Spangled Banner duties were handled by enlisted members of the U.S. Navy Band but Beyonce has been publicly acknowledge as a smart pick for the rendition this time.

The 31-year-old has thrown her voice into the first lady’s Let’s Move! initiative against childhood obesity. Along with her husband, rap superstar Jay-Z, she hosted an Obama reelection campaign fundraiser in September that reportedly raised a cool $4 million.

Beyonce won’t be the only voice at the inauguration ceremony. On Wednesday, organizers also announced performances by James Taylor, whose eternal calm could feel surreal on a toxic Capitol Hill, and Kelly Clarkson — an American Idol winner and belter of triumphal pop hits. While Taylor is scheduled to sing America the Beautiful, Clarkson will handle My Country, ’Tis of Thee.
