A day before her performance, Gaga took social media to ask for peace. “I pray [20 January] will be a day of peace for all Americans. A day for love, not hatred. A day for acceptance not fear. A day for dreaming of our future joy as a country. A dream that is non-violent, a dream that provides safety for our souls. Love, from the Capitol 🇺🇸,” she wrote on Instagram sharing a photo dressed in an all-white outfit. The singer rocked a Givenchy custom cape dress designed by Matthew Williams, and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti boots.

Gaga wore a matching mask and the same halo braid she rocked while singing at the Capitol on Inauguration Day. Earlier that day, the superstar spend a few minutes with the national guards protecting the area.

Fellow singer  Jennifer Lopez  also shared a photo with the guardsmen and women. “What an honor to spend a few moments with these brave men and women. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I honor you today and everyday 🇺🇸,” Lopez captioned the snap.
