Pop star Beyoncé Knowles closed out the 2013 Presidential Inauguration ceremony on Monday with a performance of the "Star-Spangled Banner."
The singer had audio problems midway through the song, causing her to remove an ear piece. Despite technical difficulties, shown in the video above, Beyoncé delivers a soulful version of the national anthem.
Kelly Clarkson also performed at the ceremony, singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" and James Taylor opened the program with "America the Beautiful."
At President Obama's first Inaugural ceremony in 2008, Aretha Franklin (and her awesome hat) sang "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" and the United States Navy Band "Sea Chanters" chorus performed "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Beyoncé is also set to perform during the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show on Feb. 3, 2013.
