Garth Brooks warmed the hearts of viewers at the inauguration ceremony of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday.

Shortly after 12 p.m. the country star, dressed in a black blazer and blue jeans, removed his staple cowboy hat as he approached the stage in Washington D.C. before a small crowd. The 58-year-old entertainer then performed an a capella version of "Amazing Grace." 

As he approached the song's final verse, Brooks captivated viewers with his request for them to sing along.

"I'm going to ask you to sing this last verse with me. Not just the people here, but the people at home, at work, as one, united," he said.

Brooks confirmed earlier this week that Dr. Jill Biden called him personally to invite him to perform. 

"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... and it's one of the things that, if my family is around, no matter who the president-elect is, it's an honor to be asked," he told reporters.
