Beyoncé Reveals Phone Call With Michelle Obama

Beyoncé On Phone Call With Michelle Obama
Copyright 2009 Mario Testino / Vogue Magazine
Beyoncé Knowles tells Vogue magazine that during a phone call with Michelle Obama, she felt "fortunate" when the first lady called the singer a role model for her daughters, Sasha and Malia.

Beyoncé called Mrs. Obama to thank her after she performed at the inaugural ball. "She told me she was very happy that her girls have someone like me to look up to," the pop star told the publication. "And I’m like, 'Oh, my God.' You have to feel fortunate to be one of the people whom parents don’t mind their children looking up to."

She continues, "The older I get, the more I think about the amount of influence I have on these young girls, and it’s scary sometimes. But I also understand how lucky I am to have that."

  • unbelievable! I love B--but as a role model ... i don't know about that; what has she really achieved other than being a singer and marrying JayZ? that doesn't constitute a role model--in my humble opinion. It's hard to believe that Michelle Obama...

  • So, are we to believe that you have had a personal conversation with Beyonce, and that she told you herself that she did not believe in God???? C'mon, tell us something that you "do" know for sure, OK.
