Costello, a business leader and national mental health advocate, expressed her excitement and appreciation to perform for President Trump and his supporters on the big night.

“It is an honor to perform for the president of the United States and his supporters,” Costello said. “Singing the national anthem in a room filled with such patriotic spirit and enthusiasm will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I am so thankful for this opportunity – it will be a night to remember!”
