The news Wednesday that Tom Hanks, Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake and other A-listers will star in a TV special celebrating Joe Biden’s inauguration inevitably leads to memories of Donald Trump trying but failing to secure top talent for his inaugural festivities four years ago.

More news came Thursday that Lady Gaga will sing the national anthem for the swearing-in of Biden and his vice president, Kamala Harris. Even more, Jennifer Lopez will perform. The participation of Lady Gaga and Lopez in Biden’s inauguration stands in stark contrast to January 2017, when Elton John emphatically said he would not perform for Trump’s big day after a member of Trump’s transition team announced he would, Vulture reported at the time.
