米歇爾·奧巴馬對碧昂斯贊不絕口!可能還有幾首牛仔卡特的歌!
On Tuesday, the former First Lady of the United States, 60, shared her appreciation for the 32-time Grammy winner’s dedication to music, calling her both “a record-breaker and history-maker.”

“With Cowboy Carter, you have changed the game once again by helping redefine a music genre and transform our culture. I am so proud of you!” Obama said of Beyoncé’s eighth studio album — also known as Act II of her Renaissance album.
“有了牛仔卡特,你重新定義了一種音樂類型,改變了我們的文化,再一次改變了游戲規(guī)則。我真為你驕傲!”奧巴馬這樣評價碧昂斯的第八張錄音室專輯——也被稱為她文藝復(fù)興時期專輯的第二幕。
In her statement, shared via Instagram, she considered the new release to be “a reminder that despite everything we’ve been through to be heard, seen, and recognized, we can still dance, sing, and be who we are unapologetically.”
在她通過Instagram分享的聲明中,她認為新專輯是“一個提醒,盡管我們經(jīng)歷了一切,被聽到,被看到,被認可,我們?nèi)匀豢梢蕴?,唱歌,毫無歉意地做我們自己。”
Obama extended her support for the project, adding that it’s a reminder of power that we all have inside of us.

“我們的歷史、我們的喜悅和我們的選票中都有力量——我們每個人都可以利用自己的天賦和才能,在對我們最重要的問題上發(fā)出自己的聲音,”她的照片說明繼續(xù)說道。
The picture used for the message was one that Beyoncé, 42, previously shared on her own social media handles to announce the then-forthcoming album.
這張照片是42歲的碧昂斯之前在她自己的社交媒體上分享的,用來宣布她即將發(fā)行的專輯。
On the album cover, the “Jolene” hitmaker sits on a white horse — with one hand she holds the animal’s reins, and with the other, she holds the American flag.

In her lengthy post, Obama called upon her supporters to show up “at the ballot box this year.”
在她的長篇帖子中,奧巴馬呼吁她的支持者“今年出現(xiàn)在投票箱前”。
“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 Harvard Law alum wrote, referencing one of the 27 songs featured on the album.
“對我們影響最大的問題都在全國各地的選票上——從同工同酬和種族正義到生殖保健和氣候變化。正如碧昂斯在《Ya Ya》結(jié)尾所說,我們需要“保持信念”和“投票!”’”這位哈佛法學(xué)院校友寫道,指的是專輯中27首歌曲中的一首。
