Beyoncé shared a powerful birthday message for Michelle Obama on Instagram, and we love it like xo.
In honor of the former first lady’s 55th birthday on Thursday, the most Grammy-nominated woman in history posted a black-and-white image of Obama as a little girl, with “Bow down” emblazoned over it in block pink text.
Fans of Beyoncé will recognize the line from her self-titled multimedia fifth solo album, which featured the same block pink type over various images.
Many people on social media thought the post was for the announcement of a new album or song. While it doesn’t immediately appear to be such an announcement, representatives for Beyoncé did not immediately respond to a request for more information.
For the time being, it seems to just be a birthday post to the “Becoming” author. So in light of being asked to by Beyoncé, we’ll be bowing down until further notice.
