Jackie Evancho Chosen to Sing at Trump’s Inauguration

Trump’s team has officially chosen America’s Got Talent star Jackie Evancho to sing at the National Anthem at his inauguration ceremony.

The 16-year-old singer spoke about the news on a Wednesday morning Today show appearance.

“I’m so excited. It’s going to be awesome.”

Jackie was the runner-up on America’s Got Talent when she was only ten-years-old, and since then has continued to sing and has released a couple albums. Jackie has also performed for President Obama a couple times, including a concert this year called A Capitol Fourth, as well as at a tree lighting ceremony in 2010.

Trump’s advisor Boris Epshteyn tweeted a confirmation about the news.

“Honored to have @jackieevancho performing the National Anthem at the @TrumpInaugural Ceremony. She’s an inspiration for all Americans! #MAGA”
