January 17, 2009. Remember yesterday when we told you that Beyonce WOULD NOT be singing at the Inauguration (we were right again ;)) but that she would be singing for President and first Lady Obama’s first dance.
And remember we told you that Obama’s folks were trying to keep the song a secret. Well Beyonce apparently felt that it was more important to get her publicity on than for her to comply with the wishes of the President.
Here’s the press release that Beyonce put out personally:
I am so honored that I will be performing for President Obama and the first lady.
To sing `At Last' while they have their first dance is a dream come true. I could not be more honored and excited that they have asked me to be part of this moment in history.
And in case you think we're getting the story twisted, here's the OFFICIAL statement from Obama's spokesperson Linda Douglas. In announcing Beyonce's participation in the events, she stated:
"It is our hope that we can keep the song secret until the moment"
Real shady Bey...
