- On Jan. 29, the Kennedy Center will host the premiere of Melania at the newly Trump-branded performing arts center, Kennedy Center president Richard Grenell announced in an X post.
- Shortly after his second term began, President Donald Trump appointed loyal allies to the board of the Kennedy Center, which then voted him chairman.

- President Donald Trump and Melania Trump are expected to attend the Jan. 29 screening, one of 20 pre-release events ahead of the film’s Jan. 30 theatrical release, and Amazon’s reportedly $40 million deal ensures streaming on Prime Video.
- Several artists have canceled events, including Hamilton, Issa Rae and Rhiannon Giddens, while Kennedy family members criticized the renaming, noting the official change appears to require congressional approval.
