The singer, who was hit by technical glitches that forced her to perform an acapella, was allegedly not thrilled about the issue, as well as how she was forced to perform, after initially sparking backlash over the performance and allegedly not “caring” about the hate.

The 41-year-old allegedly felt slighted because past performers at inaugurations for Joe Biden and Barack Obama, like Beyonce and Lady Gaga, have been afforded such luxuries.

"Good afternoon, it's a very good afternoon," Biden said while flanked by Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken while announcing the deal at a press conference. "Because at long last, I can announce a ceasefire and a hostage deal has been reached between Israel and Hamas."

"[After] more than 15 months of conflict that began with Hezbollah's [sic] brutal massacre on October the 7th," he continued. "More than 15 months of terror for the hostages, their families, the Israeli people. More than 15 months of suffering by the innocent people of Gaza. Fighting in Gaza will stop and soon the hostages will return home and to their families."
