Jackie Evancho performs during the inauguration for 45th president Donal J. Trump in Washington D.C., Jan. 20, 2017.

O say can you... sing!

Jackie Evancho — a 16-year-old "America's Got Talent" alum — showed off her pipes while belting out "The Star Spangled Banner" for the newest president of the United States, Donald Trump.

Evancho — who sported a powder white coat with the collar covered in jewels — vowed to sing the National Anthem live and she seemed to stand by her promise Friday afternoon.

The teen classical crossover singer did not want to recreate Beyoncé's highly criticized lip-syncing version during the 2013 inauguration of Barack Obama.

She showed some signs of nerves in her voice, but mainly gave a stellar performance.

The "AGT" star received tons of backlash after she was booked to perform for Trump, especially considering she has a transgender sister.

However, the Evanchos did not let the hate get to them, rather they looked upon it as an opportunity of a lifetime for Jackie.

"It's an honor to sing for my country," the Pittsburgh native said on Thursday.

And it certainly helped carry her name further into the spotlight.

Trump claimed that her album sales "skyrocketed" after it was announced she would perform, but those claims were quickly vetted as untrue.

Evancho did see a spike recently - mainly because it was the holiday season and she has a Christmas album, according to reports.

"It has helped... increase in sales and social media, which is great," Evancho said. "I'm getting new fans. I may be losing some, but the ones that I'm gaining I'm really happy about it."
