Michelle Obama made a surprise appearance at the Grammys tonight in Hollywood and was joined on stage with Lady Gaga, Jada Pinkett Smith, Alicia Keys Michelle and Jennifer Lopez:

.@MichelleObama makes a surprise appearance at the #GRAMMYs: "Whether we like country or rap or rock, music helps us share ourselves: our dignity and sorrows, our hopes and joys. It allows us to hear one another, to invite each other in" https://t.co/pEHw6h7hdE pic.twitter.com/AE9y2PG6Wy — Hollywood Reporter (@THR) February 11, 2019

It was all a big secret, naturally:

She also posed backstage with the ladies:

A big part of friendship is showing up for your girls—that’s why I was thrilled to be there for the one and only @aliciakeys at the #GRAMMYs. She is one of the most genuine and thoughtful people I know—there’s no one better to help us all celebrate the unifying power of music! pic.twitter.com/8cMhTmsClA — Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) February 11, 2019

Yeah, yeah, yeah . . . but what’s going on with J Lo’s hat?

Anyway, Michelle will be hosting the Oscars next after this reception:
