"President Donald Trump and Melania Trump held three inaugural balls in one evening to celebrate the beginning of a new MAGA era," the publication states.

According to reports, the President and First Lady started with the Commander-in-Chief’s Ball in military style, then headed to the nearby Liberty Ball, where they danced on stage with the entire Trump family, before making their way to Union Station for the Starlight Ball.

"We needed three because we have such support," Trump told the crowd at the Liberty Ball held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center on Monday evening.

The crowd had waited several hours to see the new Commander-in-Chief, and he and the First Lady finally appeared just before 10:30 PM local time at the ball featuring the U.S. Marine Corps band.

The First Lady made her debut in a black-and-white gown custom-made by Hervé Pierre, the same designer who created her 2017 inaugural dress.

They performed their first slow dance to the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," played by the U.S. Marine Corps band, after which Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha joined them on stage.

The couples then danced with military personnel, as is tradition.

"This is quite a large gathering, isn’t it?" the President remarked at the event, where the crowd numbered in the thousands, and many service members were in dress uniform.

Before leaving the stage, Trump interacted with service members stationed in South Korea, who appeared on Jumbotron screens. "How are we doing out there? How's Kim Jong Un doing?" he joked.

Then, on stage, Trump cut a cake designed to resemble Air Force One, which was inspired by his presidential plane's design, which President Joe Biden declined. "I’ll take a piece home with me," he said.

As he prepared to leave, YMCA was playing, and before exiting, he danced with the swords on stage.

"The Secret Service is starting to get very nervous," Vance commented on the spectacle.

Rascal Flatts performed after the Trumps left the Commander-in-Chief's Ball, while other musical acts, including Billy Ray Cyrus and Jason Aldean, entertained the crowd as they awaited the President and First Lady.

At the Liberty Ball, which also took place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, the President and First Lady danced once more to the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."

This time, the entire Trump clan joined them on stage, including Tiffany Trump, who was visibly showing her baby bump.

Donald Trump Jr. was seen dancing with his children, including daughter Chloe and Kai, who made her political debut in July by speaking at the Republican National Convention.

Trump Jr. was also joined by his new girlfriend Bettina Anderson at the inaugural events over the weekend, and he had to share the stage at one inaugural gala with his ex-fiancée and incoming U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle.

The Trump family shared a slow dance to "Unchained Melody" - Ivanka Trump with Jared Kushner, Lara Trump with Eric - before the Village People came on stage to perform the classic MAGA anthem YMCA once again.

Guests at the Starlight Ball also enjoyed a dance with the entire First Family - this time to Frank Sinatra's "I Did It My Way" - another favorite tune of the President.

Among the attendees at the third and final ball, where press access was much more restricted, were Caitlyn Jenner, Vince Vaughn, Jake and Logan Paul, and Mike Tyson.

A viral video showed Jake Paul putting Tyson on his back just before the Trumps arrived.

For the hour that the Trumps stayed, all eyes were on Fox News broadcasting from the press section of the Commander-in-Chief's Ball.

The crowd erupted at the sight of former Fox host Pete Hegseth, who was appointed by Trump as the Secretary of Defense, a position now held by Sean Hannity of Fox News. Hegseth humorously declined an interview with CNN, which was broadcasting nearby, while taking selfies with attendees.

Later, Trump congratulated Hegseth from the stage.

Actor John White was also present, as well as Kid Rock, who lit a cigar in a non-smoking area. He was also seen carrying something resembling whiskey as he joined Hannity and other Fox guests on the set, the publication reports.
