As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his second inauguration, social media has been buzzing with excitement, particularly about Hilary Duff’s connection to past presidential events. Many are reminiscing about her performance of “Come Clean” at the 2005 Youth Concert during George W. Bush’s second-term inauguration. At just 17 years old, the Cheaper by the Dozen actress captivated the audience at this event, which was hosted by Bush’s twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna.
Duff, who rose to fame with Lizzie McGuire on Disney Channel, became a millennial icon and is still remembered for that standout moment from her early career. Fans are sharing clips of the performance on TikTok, recalling how she became part of the inauguration festivities back when Bush took office for his second term.
In addition to Duff’s memorable moment, other major performances from presidential inaugurations have included Lady Gaga, who sang for Joe Biden in 2021, and Alicia Keys and Kelly Clarkson, who performed during Barack Obama’s second term in 2013. For Trump’s 2021 inauguration, The Piano Guys also delivered a musical performance.
