Beyoncé will perform for President Obama’s inauguration on Jan. 21, according to USA today. She is expected to perform the most vocally challenging patriotic song, the National Anthem.
It looks like 2013 is the year of Beyoncé. The R&B megastar is also set to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show on Feb. 3 in New Orleans. In addition, Bey will release her untitled fifth studio album some time this year.
We can confirm that Beyonce worked with Kanye West, The-Dream, and Miguel on this mysterious album. Word on the street is we will hear a new single from Bey before her Super Bowl halftime show performance.

That’s not all. Beyoncé will also premiere her feature length documentary on HBO. It will include extensive first-person footage, some of it shot by Bey on her laptop, in which she reflects on the realities of celebrity, the refuge she finds onstage and the transcendent joy of becoming a mother last year.
In 2009, Beyoncé performed Etta James’ “At Last” at President Obama’s first inauguration ball.
