Donald Trump's inauguration as the nation's 47th president was expected to be an extravagant break from tradition before being moved indoors due to cold weather.

Watch President Donald Trump's swearing-in and inaugural address live on Monday, January 20 in our player above.

There will always be renowned artists, influential billionaires as guests and foreign heads of state. Unlike his first inauguration eight years ago, Trump will be welcomed back to power by business titans and world leaders, groups who often shunned him during his first term.

Here are some things to watch for during Trump's inauguration.

Assets inside the Capitol rotunda, but who else?

Expect to see Melania Trump, the president, elect five children and grandchildren. Don Jr., his eldest son, and Lara Trump, married to Eric Trump, have grown in influence over the past year. The fathers of Trump's two sons-in-law were also given key advisory positions. Even though Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have taken a step back, they are expected to be present as they did for election night.

But the Capitol Rotunda can only accommodate about 600 people, according to organizers. There will be few spots for Supreme Court justices, military leaders, former presidents and their spouses, Cabinet nominees and visiting dignitaries, as well as the 535 members of Congress who traditionally get prime spots, although some Democratic lawmakers are skipping the ceremony.

Tesla and X owner Elon Musk was invited to the dais along with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Who will enter the Rotunda?

Country superstar and YMCA

Country music star Carrie Underwood, who has won eight Grammy Awards, will sing America the Beautiful before Trump is sworn in around noon EST by Chief Justice John Roberts. Underwood, who went from being a contestant on American Idol in 2005 to becoming the most decorated artist in CMT Music Awards history, was a surprise addition to the president-elect's inauguration program.

Another unexpected announcement came from Village People, the late '70s American disco group behind the hit YMCA. The group was booked for a Trump rally in Washington on Sunday and for one of the inaugural balls. The hit song was played at the end of Trump's rallies and became a viral trend on social media after the election, with people imitating the president-elect's signature dance moves.

Other performers include two of Trump's musical favorites: opera singer Christopher Macchio, who will sing The Star-Spangled Banner, and country singer Lee Greenwood, known for his patriotic anthem, God Bless the USA, also performed at the Trump rallies.

Singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw, best known for his hit song I Dont Want To Be, will perform at one of the three balls Trump is attending. Country singers Jason Aldean, Parker McCollum and country music group Rascal Flatts will perform at the other two balls.

The inaugural speech

Trump is known for giving speeches lasting more than an hour in which he makes big promises, attacks his political opponents and mocks some foreign leaders.

During his 16-minute inaugural address in 2017, Trump stuck to his campaign script and painted a bleak picture of the country, accusing other countries of closing factories and shrinking the middle class. He said he would end American carnage and govern with an “America First” approach.

This time around, his main campaign promise was to launch the largest deportation operation in history and close the U.S.-Mexico border. He has talked about ushering in a golden age and pledged to impose tariffs on imports, revealing more details in recent days about how he plans to pursue those goals.

He told NBC News on Saturday that the theme of his inaugural address would be unity and strength, as well as the word equity.

Because you have to treat people fairly, Trump said. You can't just say, Oh, everything's going to be wonderful. You know, we went through hell for four years with these people. And so, you know, something has to be done about this. … This can't happen, and we shouldn't have this happen.

Foreign leaders in town

Trump could break with an Inauguration Day tradition after inviting world leaders. No head of state has yet made an official visit to the United States for the inauguration.

Chinese President Xi Jinping was the first foreign leader whose inauguration invitation was made public last December. Xi will not attend but is sending Vice President Han Zheng as his special representative.

Argentine President Javier Milei and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni accepted Trump's offer. The offices of Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa and Paraguayan President Santiago Pea also said they had been invited and planned to attend.
