"how many fireworks do you wanna order?"
"yes"
Absolutely hilarious... and blankfaced
Just one more than Trump ordered 😝
I was watching live and for a split second I thought it was CGI, special effects...I don't recall such an insane fireworks display like that.
LOL, I think the nations stockpile of Fireworks could be 100% depleted right now. (Time to make more before July...no big deal)
😂
What was the perfect comment! I laughed so hard 🤣 😂
You think when Katy Perry began writing a song called firework and thought of the words “do you ever feel like a plastic bag” that she thought one day she’d sing those words at a presidential inauguration
Doubtful, but here we are.
Hahahahaha
Yes.
I know right! People laughed at her saying those lyrics make the music sound so cheap! Lol
Truth be told, most Americans did feel like a plastic bag these past 4 years so firework was directed towards so many Americans which is why it was the best performance of the day
Let’s do it all again in 2024. Pure joy 💙
I live in DC and I'm telling you this fireworks display was f'kn amazing...
About the most incredible thing I've ever seen ...
I bet it was... 🎉
If you didn't cry or had goosebumps while watching this empowering moment that will go down in American history, are you still human?
no im 9 rats stacked in a trench coat
Kinda inhuman to have to point out someone is still human for not getting certain emotions you feel they should have
@@stardust_co lol mood
Right??? This was all so beautiful. An incredible day... I am so proud of us, America!!!
@@hannahalexandra1419 exactly said, queen! ♥️
Can we talk about her vocals??? She SLAYED
When does she not?
@@darkecofreak23 sa throat lungs
Hello
Right?!? Sometimes I forget what an incredible voice she has. Silly, I know
it's given, we don't need to make it obvious lol
How proud will Katy's daughter be seeing her mother singing her heart out for our country, for the rebirth of our nation, for hope to be restored for EVERY American and our allies throughout the world!
I’m guessing not that happy when Biden runs the country to the ground.
@@bennettreimer6972 sure sure
@@bennettreimer6972 :l
THE BIDENS ATE HER BABY.
Blessed be America, a nation reborn
Seriously, the inauguration planning team deserves a TON of credit. What an incredible ceremony and that finale... literally flawless. And of course, thank you Katy for such a explosive (literally) send off! ❤️👏👏
I’m voting that this becomes the official music video for “Firework”
you mean the national anthem
@@ambienthangout i agree 100%
@@jakovbabic yes
nice one
I thought the original "Firework" music video was great, but after watching this new rendition, all the other performances look like child's play. She seriously classed this song up!
i can't believe the president and vice president crashed into katy perry's concert
I think they just wanted to see the fireworks better lol. They left bidden and his wife in the balcony seats.
Izad wasn’t it meant for them-
@@AM__-mf4md that's the joke
Bc she is the queen 👑✨
This is a golden comment right here😂😂😂
2 years later, still goosebumps. Simply lovely.
Getting ready for a repeat of this in 2024
I'm scared friend... But I am praying we don't get Trump again. However, either result will tear us apart. The tipping point
Yes for Trump
@@emelinedbs1070Gross
It really feels like we have taken a massive step forward today.
And a big step back to segregation
@@Baileybear85 LOL how explain?
We have!! But not one liberals and Democrats will enjoy! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
STAY TUNED!!! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️
@@Baileybear85 Trumps presidency was the most segregated the US has ever been what do you mean?
@@Eriana-ju1jq "I don't want my children to grow up in a jungle, a racial jungle."
I don’t know why this performance makes me feel so emotional and hopeful.
Me too! It was the perfect way to end the day
I cried tears of joy, of course BEAUTIFUL 🤩
In my opinion this feels more like a victorious reprise. I guess that is why it feels more impactful.
Because we didn’t realize how hopeless we felt until we got a taste of it again this past week. It’s overwhelming
I know...
I don't mind admitting that I sat and cried tears of joy for our friends in the USA, and the world over when I watched this live. The day hope returned to the world.
This aged terribly
@@noneofyourbusiness1114 but at least they don't have to see Orange Man Bad's mean tweets!
I keep coming back to this. It is spectacular to say the least! The arrangement of the song and Katy's vocals with the fireworks in the background and the Bidens and VP watching... I have no words, it's all so perfect and magical. What a finale!
You’re not officially the president of the United States until Katy Perry sings firework to you
😂😂😂😂😂
exactly
haha lol
@@coincollector2.041 I think it was a joke.
shut up .
i'm not American but even I felt patriotic watching that. Well done to the US.
Thanks, FT W. Hopefully, when all this COVID stuff is over, you can come visit.

Same here. I am Canadian and felt every moment
You can come visit us anytime 🇺🇸❤️ We are diverse
Thank you.. America is back my friend

I'm not American buy this gives me goose bumps every time I watch it..the biggest names in the music industry turned out for president Biden that says enough of how Americans feel..
These lyrics are so eerily fitting to this day.
same im just now thinking this for myself lol
@Dipesh Panta it feels creepy or off
AWESOME❤
This feels like an ending for a movie, but truth is, this is only just the beginning
A beginning we shall hope for. 👉🏻👈🏻🖤
@ImAEpicCoderGaming no, now all people of color and all people of all sexualities can be free without worrying for their life ❤️ this is our fresh start
Nightmare on DC part deux.
Beginning to THE end
AMERICA HOPING FOR THE BEST IS YET TO COME
I've watched this about 40 times now. Feels like a gift to our nation! I just love it so much. 🇺🇸💜
what?
what?
Me too and still watching @Sherry Berry
Goosebumps!!!!! I can feel the celebration, happiness, optimism and a big sigh of relief from all the decent Americans looking forward to better days coming.
This literally gave me goosebumps, Katy is honestly the best.
Seriously though those fireworks were amazing
Tears began to roll down my cheeks and goosebumps the whole way through!
Me too!
Period 👑
@Esteban A Yes, Truly a historic performance which would be remembered for generations to come.
Katy praticed her vocals A LOT in the last years, I'm so proud of her!
There was a little tuning unlike gaga
@@freebree7739 or maybe a lot and we just don't know. She is getting older, and you could hear some parts where it didn't quite match up. Great performance overall, there's just no way to know how much is actual singing, especially at an EXTREMELY high profile performance where messing up isn't an option.
SOUNDS AWESOME❤
This entire inauguration was like watching the ending of a horrible disaster movie. The evil is defeated. The heroes have won. They're enjoying a brilliant performance under the stars with their loved ones. A beautiful ending and a new beginning.
You guys are evil. The real heroes will be back 2024
It did felt, still does, like that.
Enjoying those gas prices and record high inflation?
@@lukeaustin4465 You do realize the entire world is having the same problem. Do you think that's all from him 🤔. Enjoy being blind to the rest of the world.
@@lukeaustin4465 1) those 2 points were going to happen no matter WHO was president and it's around the world 2) i'm enjoying having respect again from the world, lower prescription costs, lowest unemployment, infrastructure bill passed, veteran's bill passed, social security benefits going up and on and on and on...
Brings me to grateful tears. This was a moment to remember forever. We survived. Hope. Love. Compassion. Powerful beyond words.
The way she performed sent chill down my spines.
Me too even teared up a bit ❤️
What a simp
POWERFUL. AWESOME❤
I thought her energy was great but I’ve never been a fan of Katy’s voice. Anyways Biden Harris 2021 yay!
I have never seen a presidential inauguration so over the top, SO AMAZING, so caring, so heart filing. This was SO spectacular!!!
NO WORDS!!!!
No one would want to sing at Trump's inauguration trust that
I love this song and so glad this is one she did!
💯💯💯
Thank you...same!
And Safe!!!
She changed and got better in these 10 years so much we always love her as a Pakistani 🇵🇰🤍🇺🇸
Let's do this again.
With Trump's inauguration day in 25'
Can we talk about how “...After a hurricane comes a rainbow” matches perfectly with this situation?
Yes we can
Do let’s.
yep, definitely intentional. Most up lifting song too
Beautiful song, my wife said this was her graduation song.
@@DMV_L3GO that was my graduation song in elementary school too
the haters always try to take down Katy Perry but she will always shine like a firework
😐😐😐
I remember when this single was released back then, many laughed at Katy's song sound rather 'cheap' with starting lyrics including words like plastic bag.. Who would've thought it'd be the one song being the greatest ending performances for the inauguration for the US President someday. So proud of Katy! ❤️❤️
The look on Kamala's eyes on 3:55 is so incredibly emotional (and I’m not even american)
"After a hurricane, comes a rainbow." never hit harder.
I was cheering and crying at the same time! What a way to end this historic day!
Yes! I was so excited by the end, I hit the floor. Love Won
Same!!! Same!!!! I’m so happy we can leave that terrible nightmare and start a better dream today!
Same here❤️🤲🙏
Hopefully now all Americans will realize how truly important it is to vote and to always watch for shysters.
Historic when trump got impeached twice💀
A new beginning, you can do it America, you can. This moment was the best!!
YEP!!! WE ARE BACK.......!!!!!!!!
Yes it was
North America*
@@GuilleLP42 United States of America*
@@GuilleLP42 Not really! The USA has always been called America throughout history and us Americans. If you're referring to the continent - North and South America, I would call it the Americas..
More than a year later, I still come back to rewatch this, Lady Gaga's anthem and Amanda Gorman's poem.
The inaugural committee deserves to burst with pride for pulling this off under terrible circumstances. I spent inauguration day watching all this, and it was inspirational.
Same here. It’s so inspring and patriotic!
Gaga looks hideous. Her face is a science experiment gone bad
Still brings tears to my eyes. I will always remember that night with thankfulness
Me too! May we see this again in 2025!!?
Thankfulness for wat?
@@lemonrealsqueeze6826 for getting the orange 🤡 out of office. Next! Stay focused Cletus 😜
im not even an american, but idk why this made me emotional 🥺 so so so beautiful ✨✨

The DECADE starts NOW!
The past 4 years have affected the entire planet. I hope we can do some major repairs quickly.
i love you guys
Me too from The Netherlands It was Amazing.!Emotional,hope,love,faith and determanation..Congrats America
She was everything we were waiting for
Truth
now this is America 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙 I’m proud to be a American ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Looking back on this 6 months afterwards, it was still beautiful and inspiring..
This looks like the ending of a sad movie with a happy ending.
because it is😌
Spectacular. AWESOME ENDING❤
😂😂😂
Yes!! This is the happy ending of Donald Trump getting defeated
It was a very very sad movie. I’m just so sad that I had to live through it. Happy ending is here though. Go get them Joe. You too Kamala
I wasn't Ready for This, Katy you're Perfect
None of us were. The whole thing went off without a hitch.
A new hope
@Thiago Alves amo demais a Katy sksksksksks
Hello
Yeah
Im Latino but seeing this video is so powerful in so many ways that im sure my folks can relate well done America vivia estado unidos y Mexico que dios now bendiga
And meanwhile Kamala Harris laughs
2 years later. Still love it.
Imagine the pressure performing this live in a historic solemnly moment with an epic firework in the background that can not be replayed, a historic unique president / vice president pair under Lincoln in front of you and 259 seconds left with absolutely NO room for any kind of failure while the whole world is watching you.
I wonder if you can.
and with all of that this is literally her best firework performance to this day
And that is what makes a true talented star. Last night all performers were spectacular, but she had the hardest job of all
She performed at a Super Bowl. More people were watching that.
Great producers pulled this off. Brilliant.
She’s been doing this so long she’s got the chops! Now was Eve moment to rely on your vocal training and turn those nerves into inspiration and she did! Knocked it out of the park
This is the ending credits scene after America beats the final boss
I was looking for this comment!! Lol
Lol
👏👏
SO happy you said this, was looking for a game reference xD
Best performance ever. She is amazing. I felt the hope in her voice and the excitement of a new presidential era.
I come back to this at least once a month and watching Joe, Jill and then Kamala, Doug just watching how they made history…just makes me so proud to be an American and to have helped them get there.
This is the one of her greatest performance ever, because this performance was dedicated for America.
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME❤❤❤
Choking back tears of happiness so I didn’t wake the wife, I don’t think this will ever be forgotten, by us or any dog with in 3 miles of DC.
Definitely one for the record books
Couldn’t agree more.
When you think the end of the USA is close at hand, come back to this incredible video.
No amount of hate, greed or ignorance can ever defeat the beauty, love, generosity and acceptance of the American soul.
I never doubted for a moment that Americans would do the right thing.
It's full of great people.

I’m not from the USA but this performance makes me feel so emotional and patriotic idkw! Haha, But Congrats US you did it! A new beginning!
Because the dream of America is a multicultural, multiethnic endeavor. ✌️❤️
@@hayleyannelynch It has nothing to do with the American dream. America itself is the land of freedoms (although sometimes it is not). There are the principles of democracy that are spread all over the world today. It is a country that serves as a role model (even if it doesn't do everything right). Besides, it is the most powerful country in the world, which is why I felt it was the greatest shame that someone like Trump could hold such an important office. Biden's inauguration is a relief from all the worries and burdens the whole world had because of Trump
Yasssss
a 150 degree about change. Did you notice that the atmosphere feels quite bit at peace and calmer with Trump NOT around no more. Hope he never surfaces ever again. He doesn't realize all the drama and conflict he has imposed on the United States citizens and his staff and a police officer has lost his life and one almost got his head crushed by those animals. Following his orders to go to the Capital. What a sin he has cause. He is liable and should be held accountable for his encouragement in what led up to those events in the riot in the Capital. Had he NOT requested those criminals and others to go, it would of never happened. I t was believed and seen by a police officer that was involved in it said he seen it on line he read it by Trump where to go and what day to do it. He says that is how he found out about it. So he traveled to go just like he said on the advice of Trumps social media account. As we all seen Trump and his close circle adult kids were standing and laughing and cheering on the mob as they watched it on television.
We in the U.S.A. will be happy to consider you to be American for as long as you'd like.
The pyro-technicians deserve a TON of credit for just how spectacular that REALLY was!! And Katy too, of course!😍
That was the most spectacular fireworks show I have ever seen. It was amazing!!
I didnt care who is celebrating, i just wanna see her singing that all ❤❤
This video makes me tear up as I remember watching this on Jan 21st night in my 92 year old home health client's room which was the very last night of me with him as he passed a week later from having tested covid positive the day after inauguration. Will fondly remember my 92 year old client who like my grandfather and a gem and will remember this proud inaugural moment of President Biden getting inaugurated.

This just further cements this day in the history books. This inauguration was the happiest I’ve seen America in a long time. Truly a spectacle to behold. I wish all the best to President Biden and Vice President Harris.

We haven't seen a president hug his wife in public since the Obama era! Thanks Joe!
So true, in a loving way 🥺

Well, to be honest, I hardly considered the former creatures to be a married couple.

How about now?? 😂
When she used her falsetto at "fourth of july" that's why I fell in love with her!! Very few singers have a falsetto that's as warm and angelic as hers. And the spin she gave on the second prechorus is just perfection. VOCALS.

Her vocal is IMPECABLE!
