This event was part of a broader series of celebrations organized by TikTok, which also included a Power 30 Awards party for influencers who supported Trump during the election. The social media platform's involvement in the inauguration celebrations was notable, especially given the recent uncertainty surrounding its future in the U.S. due to potential bans and regulatory issues.

President-elect Trump has pledged to support TikTok, announcing his intention to repeal executive orders that threatened the app and to give its China-based parent company more time to find an approved buyer in the U.S.. This stance has been welcomed by many Gen Z influencers who rely on TikTok for their careers and were previously concerned about the potential ban during the Biden administration.
