During Monday's episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Alex Rodriguez revealed that his fiancée is "nervous" about performing at Joe Biden's inauguration as she feels a heightened sense of "responsibility" regarding the event. The former athlete, 45, shared that while it's been a "crazy year" for Lopez, 51, in terms of her performances, she feels especially accountable for her upcoming show in Washington, D.C. "It's been such a crazy year for her, so amazing, so many blessings. But to think in a span of 12 months, she's done the Super Bowl, New Year's [Eve] and now the inaugural, it's unbelievable," Rodriguez began. "And what's interesting is she's most nervous about Washington, D.C. because of the responsibility," he revealed. Lady Gaga to Sing National Anthem and Jennifer Lopez to Perform at Joe Biden's Inauguration Rodriguez, who popped the question to Lopez in the spring of 2019, said the singer wants to "bring people together" and "inspire" people with her inauguration performance. "And you know, music and sports does that better than anything," the former Yankee added. Rodriguez also teased that the "On the Floor" singer has "something really cool" prepared for her performance. "You're gonna be surprised, you're gonna love it," Rodriguez said. Wednesday's event will see Biden, 78, and Kamala Harris, 56, assume the positions of U.S. president and vice president, respectively, and will also feature performances from Lady Gaga and Garth Brooks.

"This is kind of how I get to serve this country." "I've played for every president there is, since Carter, with the exception of Reagan. This is an honor for me to get to serve," he added.
