Outkick star Tomi Lahren has revealed her wild night at Donald Trump's inaugural balls after the president was sworn in for a second term.
Mike Tyson, Jake Paul, Caitlyn Jenner, Conor McGregor and a host of MMA figures were among the sports stars who gathered in Washington to usher in what Trump called “America's golden age.”
The inauguration ceremony for Trump and Vice President JD Vance took place inside the Capitol Rotunda on Tuesday afternoon.
Later that night, the president visited different balls in the country's capital. Political and sports commentator Lahren, host of the program Tomi Lahren is brave at OutKick.com went behind the scenes in Washington.
The journalist saw YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul lift Tyson on his shoulders, just months after they fought in Dallas. “That was a great moment,” Lahren said.
He also told DailyMail.com why it was unlike any political event he has attended before.

Jake Paul carried his former rival Mike Tyson on his shoulders at the inauguration festivities.
'In 2017, I had to fear for my life, whether it was BLM (Black Lives Matter), Antifa or the women's march the next day. “It was very hostile to Trump supporters,” Lahren said.
“This year couldn't have been more different…watching the balls, there were people from all walks of life,” including “celebrities who would never have spoken before.”
Lahren said the night was marked by “pure joy.” “I've never seen so much support for Donald Trump,” he continued.
'And DC is a completely different environment than I've ever seen. You can walk around with a MAGA hat… and people don't follow you or sing or make signs.
'The little protest they tried to have was depressing at best. There simply isn't the opposition to Donald Trump that there used to be. And even the Democrats, I think, are secretly excited.'
UFC boss Dana White, golf star Bryson DeChambeau and former racing driver Danica Patrick are among the sports stars who prominently supported Trump during the election.
Meanwhile, since his victory, several athletes, including USMNT star Christian Pulisic, LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne and NFL rookie Brock Bowers, have performed the 'Trump Dance.'

“It's completely different: People are no longer afraid to be a Trump supporter,” Lahren said.
Among the other stars who flocked to Washington were musicians Nelly, Snoop Dogg, Jason Aldean, Lil Pump, Billy Ray Cyrus and cigar-smoking Kid Rock.
“It was just an incredible turnout,” Lahren said. “More love than I've ever seen for Donald Trump.”
She continued: 'It was very, very cold. But that didn't deter anyone: I saw people lining up for blocks in dresses and heels, and they waited over an hour, maybe even several hours to get in.
The only people who weren't amused, Lahren insists, were the CNN reporters. “They didn't look like they were having fun,” he said.
Lahren offered a brutal comparison between Monday's event and Democratic celebrations. There, she said: 'you find the same Hollywood entertainment celebrities who seem to be very self-indulgent and “seem very elitist.”
“Last night when you saw these celebrities, they loved being around Trump supporters,” Lahren insisted. 'They're not too cool for school.
'They are shaking people's hands and taking photographs. “It was just a completely different dynamic than I had ever seen before at any political event.”
'It was very, very cold… (but) I saw people lining up for blocks in dresses and heels.'
Lahren also noticed a notable difference in the behavior of Trump, who defeated Harris after surviving two separate assassination attempts.
“After the assassination attempt, I went from defiance and maybe anger to being genuinely happy to be alive and happy to have a second chance,” he said.
“I think he believes his mission comes from God and that God spared his life so he could do what he's doing.”
He added: “What we're seeing now from Donald Trump is just genuine gratitude… when he comes out on stage, he's just a different Trump. One who is genuinely happy and grateful to be there and knows that he has a mandate from the American people and is ready to fulfill it.”
