Vance.
Several prominent tech leaders are also expected to attend, including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg. Additionally, TikTok CEO Shou Chew has announced plans to attend the inauguration on Monday. Country music star Carrie Underwood is slated to perform “America the Beautiful” during the event.
The main ceremony is expected to last around two hours, based on previous inaugurations. The swearing-in ceremony itself typically lasts about 30 minutes. The entire livestream, which includes parades, performances, and other activities, is usually around 10 hours long.
