She sure knows how to get the public’s attention, but Jennifer Lopez is apparently a little nervous about performing at Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration ceremony.
The Inaugural Presidential Committee (PIC) announced last week that Lopez, 51, is included in the list of musical artists for the opening ceremony of Biden and Kamala Harris on Wednesday at the US Capitol in Washington DC
Despite her mega performance at the Super Bowl LIV last year as a halftime artist, Lopez’s fiancé Alex Rodriguez has suggested that she knows the grand opening has a big responsibility.
“To think that in the space of 12 months she had the Super Bowl, the New Year and now the inaugural one. It’s unbelievable!” Rodriguez said during his appearance on Monday on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” via Yahoo.
