Beyonce will sing for Barack and Michelle Obama's first dance on inauguration night - and she's chosen a fitting tune to welcome the first black President into office.

While the Presidential Inaugural Committee had hoped to keep the song under wraps, the singer spilled the beans, telling Entertainment Tonight, "To sing 'At Last' while [the Obamas] have their first dance is a dream come true.

A representative for Beyonce confirmed the song choice Friday. Beyonce, who recorded her version of the Etta James standard for her portrayal of James in last year's film "Cadillac Records," is part of the celeb-packed lineup at the official Neighborhood Ball.

Other famous faces in attendance will include her husband Jay-Z, will.i.am, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Shakira, Sting, Faith Hill, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder and Maroon 5.

Denzel Washington, Jessica Alba, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ray Romano, Jamie Foxx, Queen Latifah and Kate Walsh are scheduled as presenters. The event will be televised on ABC. Knowles, a proud Obama supporter, was an early volunteer for the inauguration, telling a reporter in November, "Whatever they want — if they need me to volunteer, they need me to sing, I'm there, and I'm ready."
