The flute was given to the former president in 1813<\/a> as a celebratory gift for his second inauguration. Weirdly enough, Madison himself never played it \u2014 after it was granted to him, the flute was sent to the archives at the Library of Congress, and it\u2019s been sitting there for alllll this time. That is, until this week, when Lizzo was invited to \u201ccome see it and even play a couple\u201d of songs.<\/span><\/p>\n
