Michelle Obama has joined James Corden for an wonderful episode of Carpool Karaoke.

The First Lady performs selections from Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, and more.

“I rarely get to listen to music in the auto”, Obama says to Corden in a clip released on Monday.
“You know what, that’s nice”, she replied.
