The Village People and Me: My Night Watching Trump's Inaugural Balls

^{Published on 2025-01-21 02:24:12 - MSN}

If Cinderella is a Donald Trump supporter, things threatened to get awkward Monday evening, as the three major inauguration balls where the newly sworn in 47th president was set to make an appearance stretched long past midnight.

The article recounts the author's experience attending Donald Trump's inaugural balls in 2017, focusing on the unexpected and surreal performance by the Village People. Initially, the author, a journalist, was skeptical about the event's atmosphere and the choice of entertainment, given the band's iconic status in gay culture which seemed at odds with Trump's political stance. The Village People, known for their hit "YMCA," performed at the "Freedom Ball," one of the inaugural celebrations. The performance was marked by a mix of irony and nostalgia, with the band playing their classic hits to an audience that included Trump supporters, some of whom were unaware of the band's cultural significance. The author describes the scene as bizarre, with the band's lead singer, Victor Willis, engaging with the crowd in a way that highlighted the cultural and political divide. The event was also notable for its lack of high-profile celebrities, with the Village People being one of the few notable acts, underscoring the unique and somewhat controversial nature of Trump's inaugural festivities.
