One such celeb was Mariah Carey who, in addition to celebrating, threw some strong shade toward the former president, Donald Trump.
January 20 marked the inauguration of Joe Biden, the 46th President of the United States.
While the festivities looked a little different due to the coronavirus, it was still a special and memorable occasion nonetheless.
The day brought out many celebs and public figures, with everyone from Lady Gaga to Chrissy Teigen to Jennifer Lopez.
With all this star power, there were certainly memorable highlights, like this picture Chrissy Teigen and John Legend took with the National Guard.
Did we expect anything less?
John was a performer at the event, as was Jennifer Lopez, who performed “This Land Is Your Land” and “America the Beautiful” during the inauguration ceremony.
“What an honor to spend a few moments with these brave men and women,” Jennifer captioned this video clip of her and military members.
How lucky are they? “Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I honor you today and every day.”
We got to witness some iconic moments from political public figures as well, such as the Obama family.
There was this iconic moment of former president Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris double-fist bumping.
This was such a special moment to see, as both made history as the first Black Americans to serve as president and vice president, respectively.
Michelle, the former first lady, wasn’t left out, as she and Harris first bumped as well.
Another performer was Lady Gaga, who sang the national anthem.
But before she did, she had a few words for the former president, Donald Trump.
“I will sing during a ceremony, a transition, a moment of change—between POTUS 45 and 46. For me, this has great meaning,” she tweeted before the event.
She’s not the only celeb to have had a positive reaction to Trump leaving office.
He’s been known to have many outspoken critics, such as Rosie O’Donnell and Robert De Niro .
People are definitely wondering if this is one of the many reasons why he chose not to go to Biden’s swearing-in ceremony.
He and his wife, Melania, departed the White House via helicopter before 8 a.m. ET.
Queer Eye star, Jonathan Van Ness, shared a video of him reacting to Trump’s last speech as president.
Needless to say, JVN was NOT impressed with the former president, and he made sure his followers knew it.
“Is he [expletive] serious?” Jonathan said in the video.
“Fall down the stairs you stupid [expletive]” he exclaimed while Donald was walking down the stage’s stairs. “That was some weird ass [expletive],” he tweeted after.
Nigella Lawson, a famous food writer, even shared a “bitter Orange Tart” recipe on behalf of Trump.
Another star who didn’t hold back when it came to Trump leaving the White House was Mariah Carey.
Instead of using her trademark shade of “I don’t know her,” she issued out a savage tweet.
It was a clip of her saying “GTFO,” which, as you probably already know, is an acronym for “Get the [Expletive] Out.”
Real subtle, Mariah!
Her message was well-received by fans, who responded with things like “period,” “YASSSS,” and “end Trump.”
Obviously, all of her followers were retweeting her, and praising her for the gif.
After all, if you’re following Mariah, you already know where she stands politically, and probably agree with her political leanings!
Mariah, and her fans, were seemingly counting down the hours until Donald Trump left the White House.
Her followers were celebrating alongside her.
But this wasn’t the first time Mariah threw some shade toward Donald Trump.
Back in 2019, she took a hit at him with her caption of these photos of her with Hillary and Bill Clinton.
“An honor to meet President Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton!” the singer tweeted.
“Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for our country,” she added.
Fans went nuts for this, with there being responses like, “THAT CAPTION! SHADE QUEEN!” and “Queen of not knowing Trump.”
Yep, it’s just Mariah’s world and we’re all living in it!

All things considered, especially when you compare her to some other celebrities, it was pretty tame!
