Barack and Michelle Obama threw down at a Beyonce and Jay-Z concert

Imagine having a major bop at a Beyonce and Jay-Z concert, then glancing up only to see the Obamas going just as hard as the rest of you. Well, imagine no longer as former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama were in attendance at a Maryland On The Run 2 concert and turned up.
The presidential couple were seated in a private box and leapt to their feet for both Jay-Z’s N---as in Paris and their recent collaboration APES--T, which broke the internet recently with its music video set in The Louvre. A few people recorded the presidential couple throwing down with their hands up in the air and safe to say, the Obamas know how to move.
A source told E! News, ‘It looked like they had a great time. Every time we turned around, they were enjoying themselves and in the moment. It did feel like they were just like us.’
It’s pretty well documented that the Obamas and the President and First Gentleman of music are big fans of one another, as Beyonce and Jay-Z were heavily involved in fundraising for President Obama’s re-election campaign. (Beyonce even sang the national anthem at Obama’s inauguration.)
This isn’t even the first time that Michelle has been spotted dropping it low at a Beyonce concert. She and her daughter Sasha attended the Paris leg of the On The Run 2 tour earlier this year, where they hung out with a very special guest: Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles.
It’s moments like these where we sorely miss the Obamas, not just because they know how to get down, but because they really don’t take themselves too seriously despite all the gravitas they command. Hey, there might be an opening sometimes soon at the Oval Office - do you think they’re looking for a new job? Asking for a friend.
