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 years presidential election.

This album reminds us that we ALL have power, she wrote in the posts caption, which accompanied the cover art for Cowboy Carter. Theres 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!
