<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kid-rock">Kid Rock</a> had a message about respect for former first lady Michelle Obama after she announced she’s skipping the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.
During the rocker&#8217;s appearance on Thursday on <a href="https://x.com/jessebwatters/status/1880070807873024082?s=46&amp;t=yVg_AIbZC0FnyCtU4qPVYw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FOX News</a> Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” the host asked the 53-year-old singer about performing at Trump’s second inauguration and if this was his first one.
Kid Rock said it wasn&#8217;t his first, reminding Watters that he first attended and performed for the inauguration of former President Barack Obama. 
“I was actually listening to your show a little bit before I got in the truck here. And I heard Michelle Obama&#8217;s not attending,” Kid Rock said. “I would kindly remind her that years back, when Obama was first elected, I did not vote for him, but they asked me to play the inauguration, and I played it, and I went, had a good time.”

“I went for &#8212; out of respect to the presidency,” he added. “So I would kindly remind Ms. Michelle about that.”
Watters then asked the singer why he thought the former first lady wouldn’t be attending “when all the other first ladies are.”

“I don&#8217;t know,” Kid Rock replied. “She seems a little angry. She might be &#8212; wow. I don&#8217;t know. If you can&#8217;t say something nice, let me hear it.”
On Wednesday, the Trump-Vance <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/inauguration">Inaugural Committee</a> announced that superstars <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/carrie-underwood">Carrie Underwood</a> and Jason Aldean, along with the “Cowboy” hitmaker, will be just a few of the singers participating in the various inauguration events.
At a rally before the inauguration, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/here-are-all-the-celebrities-reportedly-planning-to-attend-trumps-second-inauguration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kid Rock and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus</a> will perform along with the American disco band the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/village-people-make-huge-announcement-about-trumps-inauguration">Village People</a>, who will also sing at one of the inaugural balls.
Speaking on Watters, Kid Rock said he was putting together something very special for the rally.
“I mean, I have spent so much time on this, when I was first asked to do it, and it was kind of a thing where they&#8217;re like, can you show up and play the track, do a couple songs?” Ritchie said.
“And I was like, respectfully, I&#8217;m not interested in that at all. I&#8217;d rather help you any way I can. I&#8217;m a supporter,” he added. “And so I came up and I put something together, put it all down on paper to the minute, everything choreographed &#8212; this, this, and this. They loved it.”
&#8220;Of course, we get into it. And we&#8217;re going through the due diligence to get it done. And God bless them,” Kid Rock continued. “Here comes the Secret Service and they&#8217;re like, yes, we can&#8217;t &#8212; we can&#8217;t light off fireworks and have big pyrotechnics … but we still got something very special planned.”
