Katy Perry claims President Barack Obama’s inaugural ball was the best party she’s ever been to. 

The ‘Firework’ singer and her boyfriend John Mayer were among a number of stars – including Kerry Washington, Alicia Keys and her husband Swizz Beatz, Eva Longoria and Ashley Judd – to welcome in the US leader’s second term in office at the White House in Washington D.C. on Monday (21.01.13) and she was hugely impressed with the lavish celebration.

She tweeted: ”Just left the White House. All other parties from here on out will be judged unless they take place at the White House.”

Kelly Clarkson – who had earlier performed at the event, singing My Country, ‘Tis of Thee’ – was impressed with the president’s wife, Michelle’s, party starting abilities.

She tweeted: ”Just partied at the White House …. I kid you not, Michelle Obama stood up and got the party started …. seriously cool First Lady (sic)”

Producer-and-rapper will.i.am spoke of his pride at being invited to the ball, tweeting: ”I took my mama to the white house & every step I took I wanted to cry … I’m so proud of our past (sic).”

Party guests were entertained by DJ Cassidy, and Eric Benet and Janelle Monae, who both sang.

Before she performed, Jennifer Hudson tweeted: ”Right now the President and First Lady will dance to Al Green’s ‘Let’s Stay Together’ to be performed by … ME!!! Yes! Amazing night! (sic)”
