But the real treat came when Missy Elliott surprised the duo by hopping in the backseat to spit her verse on Michelle Obama’s pro-girl anthem, “This Is For My Girls”. US President Barack Obama’s wife looked breathtaking in a red summer dress having white Floral print which reveals her famously super toned arms.

The first lady sang “This Is for My Girls”, a tune meant to promote education for girls worldwide.
“So much could be corrected in the world”, Obama said about Let Girls Learn, “if girls were educated and had power over their lives”.
“When we got in the auto and I saw her rapping ‘Get Ur Freak On, ‘ it kind of bugged me out”, Missy Elliot told People.
Mrs. Obama also shared with the late night host that the opportunity to ride shotgun and just rock out was something that rarely happens these day.
The first lady and Corden didn’t go far – security demanded that they stick to the driveway on the White House property. “I rarely get to listen to music in the auto”. Corden tried to get her to admit to calling downstairs at 3am for room service, but she said it was only every once in a while.
“It happened so fast – literally Kelly Clarkson was singing her part in Nashville while we were nearly mastering it”, the song’s writer told told Billboard in 2016.
“You’re a special guest, and I had a few minutes”, the First Lady quipped. “So we dropped her vocals in”.

So they can’t let Missy leave without singing one of her songs too – who knew the first lady of the United States knew all the words “Get Ur Freak On”? Then it was on to the teaser clip that was put out earlier this week where the First Lady and Corden grooved to Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies.”
