Joe Biden was sworn in as president of the United States of America today in a star-studded ceremony that saw performances from Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez. With Gaga singing the pledge of allegiance and J.Lo performing ‘This Land Is Your Land’, the legendary singers made the show our most exciting live music performance of the past 12 months.
But one part of Jennifer Lopez’s performance was particularly notable - no, it wasn’t just that she was wearing a glowed up version of her Maid in Manhattan white suit. During a pause in her performance, she delivered an impassioned line in Spanish – likely a nod to all of the Hispanic and Latino Americans who have felt ostracized by Donald Trump’s government for the last four years.
What did J.Lo say in Spanish during the inauguration?
For those of us that don’t speak Spanish though, it may’ve caused some confusion as to what J.Lo was actually saying. Well, for your information, J.Lo said ‘One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.’
The powerful moment will be remembered greatly from today’s history-making event, where not only is the world finally rid of Donald Trump as President but also has gained the first ever female Vice President in Kamala Harris.
J.Lo’s Spanish-speaking during the inauguration is already making waves on social media as people clamber to ask ‘What did J Lo say in Spanish?’ on Twitter and beyond. The memes are also of course rolling in.
Well, if the countless tweets are anything to go by, she certainly made a statement she wanted to. Hopefully, with Joe Biden and Kamala harris taking over the power from Donald Trump, Hispanic and Latino American's will see some of their pain reversed. One day, we might not even need pointed statements from iconic singers like Jennifer Lopez to make the most oppressed people in these powerful countries feel seen.
