As Donald Trump takes the reins as the 47th President of the United States, the grandeur of the inauguration ceremony seems to overshadow the solemnity of the occasion. With the University of Nebraska-Lincoln combined chorus setting the tone, one can’t help but wonder if this is a national ceremony or a personal branding spectacle. JD Vance’s swearing-in by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, followed by Carrie Underwood’s rendition of ‘America the Beautiful,’ does it signal a shift towards ‘local flavor’ in musical choices? Trump himself, sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts, his Inaugural Address could be the litmus test for his ‘Make America Great Again’ slogan. And as for the evening gala, Trump’s favorite band, The Village People, will bring the house down with their hits ‘YMCA’ and ‘Macho Man,’ seemingly hinting at a collective dance to Trump’s political style.
