At the Waldorf Astoria on Monday, following President Trump's inauguration, singer Jewel gave a surprise performance of an acoustic version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" at the MAHA Inaugural Ball. The event, hosted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saw a warm welcome for President Trump.

Jewel's unexpected appearance stunned the attendees. Dressed in a classic black-and-white gown, she captivated the silent crowd with her moving rendition of the iconic song. Kennedy and his wife, Cheryl Hines, who wore a one-shoulder Romona Kaveza gown, were among those present. Hines was visibly moved by the performance, wiping away a tear as Jewel sang.
