Michelle Obama's Shoutout To Beyonce Takes A Political Turn

The former first lady's praise for Bey's country album had a bigger message.

Michelle Obama praised Beyonce’s “Cowboy Carter” country album on Instagram — while putting in a plea for fans to vote.

The former first lady wrote in a post on Tuesday that Beyonce was “helping redefine a music genre and transform our culture,” before pivoting to this year’s presidential election.

“This album reminds us that we ALL have power,” she wrote in the post’s caption, which accompanied the cover art for “Cowboy Carter.” “There’s power in our history, in our joy, and in our votes — and we can each use our own gifts and talents to make our voices heard on the issues that matter most to us.”

“Together, we can stand up for what we believe in, and we must do that at the ballot box this year,” she continued. “The issues that impact us most are on the ballot across the country — from equal pay and racial justice to reproductive healthcare and climate change. And as Queen Bey says at the end of Ya Ya, we need to ‘keep the faith’ and ‘VOTE!’”

The ex-first lady pointed followers to her “When We All Vote” website to register to vote, adding that the process can be done “in the time it takes you to listen to your favorite song on the album.”
