Perry, a long-time supporter of Biden, showed her patriotism for this historic event by wearing an all-white gown coupled with a bold red lip. Perry’s stellar performance truly captured the magic Americans feel on the Fourth of July as bright-colored fireworks lit up D.C.

Prior to Perry’s strong performance, she took to Twitter on January 19 to tease fans with a preview for what she had been working on. The image shows four patriotic-themed microphones: The Statue of Liberty, the American flag, and the colors red, white, and blue, all indicating a strong sense of patriotism.

Social media is taking in Perry’s closing performance by storm. Her stunning performance has been praised by the likes of Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Former President Bill Clinton and Former First Lady Hillary Clinton, Chrissy Teigen, and Frankie James Grande, brother of pop star Ariana Grande.

Fans can watch Perry’s full performance as well as every other artist who performed for the historical Inauguration on Youtube.
