With less than a month to go, the inaugural committee has announced three acts so far: the Radio City Rockettes, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and 16-year-old "America's Got Talent" star Jackie Evancho.
But in this small group of performers, there's no shortage of controversy.
Last week, a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir -- a group who has previously performed at five presidential inaugurations -- quit, stating that the performance for Trump would betray her values.
Earlier in December, the Madison Square Garden Company released a statement saying individual dancers from the Rockettes wouldn't be compelled to participate at the inauguration after Phoebe Pearl, a dancer with group, reportedly protested on Instagram about the group being chosen to perform at the event. Her post has since been deleted.
In November, Elton John refused an invitation to perform at the inauguration, denying a claim made by a vice chair of Trump's presidential inaugural committee.
Last month, The Beach Boys told CNN that the group has been contacted about performing, but that "no decision has been made at this point as to how or whether they will participate."
In a Twitter post last month, Trump said that he wanted "the PEOPLE" at the inauguration -- not "so-called "A" list celebrities."
At Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration, Beyonce, Aretha Franklin, James Taylor, Brad Paisley and Alicia Keys performed.
