Before Kamala Harris was sworn in, Lady Gaga sung the national anthem using a gold microphone.

In an interview with Good Morning America back in December, Harris, the first female vice president and the first Black person or person of Indian descent to hold the office, said that she will be "be thinking about [her] mother" on Inauguration Day.

"I'll be thinking about all those girls and boys," Harris, 56, told Robin Roberts, per People. "You know, before the pandemic struck, fathers and the mothers that would bring them around and say, 'You know, you can do anything.' "

Harris then said of her own mother, who died of cancer in 2009, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan: "I was raised by a mother who said to me all the time, 'Kamala, you may be the first to do many things - make sure you're not the last.' "

"That's how I feel about this moment," Harris said.

The soon-to-be vice president was born in California in 1964 to immigrant parents, with her mother, a researcher, coming to the US from India, and her father, economist Donald Harris, who came to the country from Jamaica.

“While I may be the first woman in this office,” Harris said back in November per the BBC: “I will not be the last, because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.”
